Full specifications
| Engine capacity | 1 L |
| Cylinders | 3noteConfirmed from South African material for the entry Evolution specifically — a motoring title's price-and-specs report and two Renault dealer specification sheets agree. |
| Power | 52 kWnote52 kW. Renault's brochure spec table and independent South African road-test reporting agree; the model page prose saying 53 kW is the outlier. |
| Torque | 96 Nm |
| Transmission | manual |
| Gears | 5 |
| Drivetrain | FWDnoteConfirmed from South African material for the entry Evolution specifically — a motoring title's price-and-specs report and two Renault dealer specification sheets agree. |
| Consumption cycle | Combined cycle (test standard not stated by manufacturer)noteEvery South African source gives this as an average without naming the test standard behind it. |
| Fuel consumption | 5.3 L/100kmnoteConfirmed from South African material for the entry Evolution specifically — a motoring title's price-and-specs report and two Renault dealer specification sheets agree. |
| Fuel tank | 40 L |
| Fuel grade | 95 / 93 unleadednoteEither South African grade. Renault asks for unleaded petrol of at least 91 RON for this engine, which both 93 and 95 meet. |
| Range | 754 kmnoteWorked out from the tank size and the claimed consumption, rounded down. |
| 0-100 km/h | Not specified |
| CO2 emissions | 126 g/kmnote126 g/km, as published in South African coverage of the facelifted Kiger with this 1.0-litre engine and five-speed manual. |
| Seats | 5noteConfirmed from South African material for the entry Evolution specifically — a motoring title's price-and-specs report and two Renault dealer specification sheets agree. |
| Doors | 5noteFive, from a Renault dealer specification sheet for the 1.0 Evolution. |
| Length | 3 990 mm |
| Width | 1 605 mm |
| Height | 1 535 mmnoteFrom the brochure. The model page prints 1 605 mm, identical to its own width figure, which is a page error. |
| Wheelbase | 2 500 mm |
| Ground clearance | 205 mm |
| Boot (behind 2nd row) | 405 L |
| Boot (behind last row) | 405 LnoteRenault's own South African brochure gives 405 litres. The Kiger has two rows of seats, so this is the same measurement as the boot behind the rear seats. |
| Boot (seats folded) | 879 LnoteWith the rear seats folded, from a Renault dealer specification sheet for this derivative and corroborated by the model's launch material. |
| Kerb weight | 1 012 kgnoteRenault publishes no kerb weight for the Kiger in South Africa. Two independent references give 1 012 kg for the same naturally aspirated 1.0 litre car, whose output is quoted as 72 PS in the markets where it is listed and 52 kW here — the same engine expressed in different units. |
| Gross vehicle mass | Not specified |
| Payload | Not specified |
| Towing (braked) | Not specified |
| Towing (unbraked) | Not specified |
| Safety rating | No crash-test rating for this versionnoteGlobal NCAP tested a Renault Kiger in India in February 2022 and published four stars for adult occupant protection and two for child occupant protection. That car was fitted with two airbags; the South African Evolution has four, so the result describes a different specification and is not recorded as this car's rating. If Global NCAP tests a Kiger matching what is sold here, the result belongs on this page. Euro NCAP has not tested the Kiger — the car is not sold in the markets it covers. The programme that has tested this model family is Global NCAP. ANCAP has not tested the Kiger — the car is not sold in Australia or New Zealand. The programme that has tested this model family is Global NCAP. |
| Airbags | 4noteFour airbags on the Evolution. Renault's brochure states six airbags for the Kiger, but that is a figure for the range as a whole: four independent South African sources — including two motoring titles and two dealer specification sheets — put the entry Evolution at four. The six-airbag fitment belongs to the higher trims. |

| How it is supplied | Included with the vehicle |
| Service interval (distance) | 15 000 kmnoteOne Renault dealer specification sheet gives 15 000 km. No second South African source repeats it, so it is shown but not yet corroborated. |

| Service network | ~78 authorised service points, as at 18 August 2026 In all 9 provinces. 80 unique entries in Renault SA’s dealer locator, less Renault Botswana and Renault Windhoek, gives 78; 9 of 9 sampled dealers offer servicing.

What we can't tell you yet
Everything below was searched for. Lines marked (unverified) show a figure that only one source gives, or that sources disagree on; the rest have not been published anywhere we could find for this version.
- 0-100 km/h — No 0–100 km/h figure has been published for this version.
- Gross vehicle mass — Renault does not publish a gross vehicle mass for the Kiger in any market found.
- Payload — Payload cannot be worked out here: it would need a gross vehicle mass, which Renault does not publish for this car.
- Towing (braked) — No towing rating was found for the Kiger in any market. It is plausible that Renault simply does not rate it to tow, but no source says so, so the field is left open rather than marked as not applicable.
- Towing (unbraked) — See the note on braked towing: no rating was found, and no source states that the car is unrated.
- Airbag positions — Four airbags are fitted to the Evolution, but no South African source itemises where all four sit. Driver and front passenger airbags are confirmed; the remaining two positions are not stated locally.
- Service plan services (unverified) — Worked out from the plan’s 30 000 km at 15 000 km between services. The plan also ends at 2 years, which would bring the count down if services fall due more often than once a year.
- Service interval (distance) (unverified) — One Renault dealer specification sheet gives 15 000 km. No second South African source repeats it, so it is shown but not yet corroborated.
- Spare wheel — Renault's South African brochure does not mention a spare wheel for the Kiger, and no local dealer listing or review states what it carries.
