Renault India is planing to enter the EV space in India and the EV version of the Kiger could be the first model
Right now, Renault is also looking at entering the electric vehicle space in India, which has become a fast-growing segment. While globally the company already sell EVs, Renault is yet to launch one in India. The company has expressed interest in building its upcoming EV locally in India to make it affordable, and rumour has it that it will be a compact SUV. So, our bet would be an EV based on the Kiger.
