One important detail is that the latest test was conducted on an India-made Kiger built for the South African market. The updated version came with six airbags, Electronic Stability Control (ESC) and ISOFIX child seat mounts.
There is also a difference between the earlier test results. The 2022 India-spec Kiger received 4 stars for adult protection and 2 stars for child protection under the earlier testing system. A separate two-airbag version in Global NCAP’s latest Africa testing received 2 stars for adults and 1 star for children.
Renault Kiger Safety Features
The Renault Kiger shares its CMF-A+ platform with the Nissan Magnite. Interestingly, the Magnite received a 5-star Global NCAP rating in 2025. However, there are some differences in their crash test results. The Kiger’s footwell area and body shell were rated unstable, while the Magnite received stable ratings in both areas.
During the Kiger’s side impact test, one of its doors also opened. The child safety test found that the head of the three-year-old dummy hit the vehicle’s interior. The 18-month-old dummy received full protection in both frontal and side impact tests.
