Renault Kiger, Triber Facelifts Spotted Testing Ahead of India Launch

Renault appears to be accelerating its product renewal strategy in India, with camouflaged prototypes of the facelifted Kiger and Triber recently spotted on public roads. These test sightings suggest that the French carmaker is preparing a series of updates aimed at refreshing its compact vehicle range, ahead of the revamped Duster and the upcoming Bigster SUV entering the scene. Though the vehicles were heavily disguised, let us look at certain elements from the latest round of spy photos that hint at what is to come. 

Renault Kiger, Triber Facelifts Spied Testing: What We Know So Far?

Starting with the Kiger, the SUV seems to retain its familiar triple-chamber LED reflector headlights, indicating no changes in the main lighting design. A first for the model, however, is the addition of fog lamps, something absent even in the top-of-the-line variants of the outgoing version. These units might incorporate cornering lights for better visibility around turns.

At the rear, both test mules feature temporary-looking, squared-off LED taillamps. While clearly placeholder elements, they suggest a shift in rear lighting design, with the final production versions likely adopting more conventional shapes. Between the two, the Kiger’s taillights appear slightly larger and more defined than those seen on the Triber test model.

The alloy wheels on both vehicles also appear to have received a design refresh. While the front-end design of the Triber remains hidden, the Kiger’s new face is partly visible, and introduces a striking new front grille. This wide, assertive grille design marks a departure from Renault’s current styling language in India and could be accompanied by the company's branding along its upper edge.
