Renault Kiger vs Toyota Urban Cruiser Taisor: which should you buy?

They run together up to ₹10.40L, where the Kiger tops out. Past that only the Urban Cruiser Taisor has anything left to sell you, up to ₹12.78L.

Same money, which car?
Take ₹10.40L to both showrooms and you come out with the Kiger Emotion at ₹10.40L or the Urban Cruiser Taisor S+ at ₹9.29L, the Urban Cruiser Taisor leaving ₹1.11L of that in your pocket.
Our take
The real reason to pay ₹1.11L more for the Kiger Emotion: the Kiger Emotion runs the turbo engine. It also adds 360° camera and tyre pressure monitor. The rest of the additions are minor trim. At that price, we would stretch.
- The Kiger swallows the most luggage at 405 litres
- Also on the Kiger Emotion: ventilated front seats, touchscreen (8" against 7"), drive modes and rear parking camera, and some minor trim beyond that
- Going to the Kiger Emotion, you give up 60:40 split rear seat, which the Urban Cruiser Taisor S+ keeps
- Choose the Toyota Urban Cruiser Taisor S+ if
- You would rather keep the ₹1.11L 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
