Renault Kiger Vs Hyundai Venue Detailed Comparison
Renault Kiger is the latest entrant in the crowded compact SUV segment, and currently, it is the cheapest offering you can buy. The Hyundai Venue, on the other hand, has established itself as one of the highest sellers in the category. The Renault comes with a new design and feature-packed trim levels at a much lower price point than the Venue. It will be interesting to see how the Indian consumer reacts to it in the coming months. Today we pit these two compact SUVs against each other for a detailed Renault Kiger vs Hyundai Venue comparison.
Renault Kiger vs Hyundai Venue - Exterior Design
The Hyundai Venue was one of the first vehicles in India to start the trend of the main headlamp unit being mounted lower on the bumper, and its dark chrome cascading grille is flanked by the turn indicators. The Renault Kiger’s front-end also follows this vehicle design trend with its vertically split headlamps, the winged radiator grille flanked by slim LED DRLs while the main triple barrel LED headlamp unit mounted lower on the front bumper. Over to the side, the Venue gets roof rails and flared wheelarches while the Kiger looks more rugged with its black cladding and squarish wheel arches. Coming to the rear, the Kiger’s rear also looks more squatter courtesy of the pseudo lip spoiler on the boot lid and C-shaped taillights compared to the Venue's rather simple rear-end design. Both vehicles also come with diamond-cut alloy wheels with a dual-tone finish.

The 1.2-litre petrol makes peak figures of 83 PS/115 Nm when paired to the 5-speed manual, but makes 88 PS/115 Nm when mated to the i20’s IVT. The 1-litre turbo-petrol makes max figures of 120 PS/172 Nm. A 6-speed iMT and a 7-speed DCT are available for both, but the Venue also gets a 6-speed manual.
