Renault Kiger vs Skoda Kylaq: which should you buy?
The Renault Kiger starts at ₹5.81L against the Skoda Kylaq's ₹7.59L ex-showroom Delhi, so it is ₹1.78L cheaper to get into.
They run together up to ₹10.40L, where the Kiger tops out. Past that only the Kylaq has anything left to sell you, up to ₹12.99L.
Same money, which car?
Take ₹10.40L to both showrooms and you come out with the Kiger Emotion at ₹10.40L or the Kylaq Signature at ₹9.43L, the Kylaq leaving ₹0.97L of that in your pocket.
Our take
The real reason to pay ₹0.97L more for the Kiger Emotion: the Kiger Emotion shifts itself while the other is a manual. It also adds 360° camera and ventilated front seats. At that price, we would stretch.
- Also on the Kiger Emotion: touchscreen (8" against 7"), wireless CarPlay / Android Auto, drive modes and rear parking camera
- Going to the Kiger Emotion, you give up single-pane sunroof, speakers (6 against 4) and cruise control, which the Kylaq Signature keeps
- Choose the Skoda Kylaq Signature if
- You would rather keep the ₹0.97L 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
