Nissan Magnite vs Renault Kiger: which should you buy?
The Nissan Magnite starts at ₹5.68L against the Renault Kiger's ₹5.81L ex-showroom Delhi, so it is ₹0.13L cheaper to get into.
They run together up to ₹10.40L, where the Kiger tops out. Past that only the Magnite has anything left to sell you, up to ₹10.99L.
Same money, which car?
Take ₹10.40L to both showrooms and you come out with the Magnite Tekna+ at ₹9.91L or the Kiger Emotion at ₹10.40L, the Magnite leaving ₹0.49L of that in your pocket.
Our take
The real reason to pay ₹0.49L more for the Kiger Emotion: the Kiger Emotion shifts itself while the other is a manual. It also adds ventilated front seats. At that price, we would stretch.
- Also on the Kiger Emotion: drive modes, wired CarPlay / Android Auto and wireless phone charger
- Going to the Kiger Emotion, you give up headlamps (Bi-LED projector against LED projector), speakers (6 against 4) and cruise control, which the Magnite Tekna+ keeps
- Choose the Nissan Magnite Tekna+ if
- You would rather keep the ₹0.49L than pay for kit you will not miss
- Choose the Renault Kiger Emotion if
- You will do long stints in this car and want the daily comforts
