Renault Kiger Turbo Petrol-CVT Automatic Mileage Test: Real World City, Highway Fuel Efficiency

Note: We tested the Renault Kiger petrol-automatic on June 03, 2023. The fuel price mentioned in this article is applicable at the time of testing. However, the Kiger petrol-automatic fuel efficiency figures (city and highway) are relevant even on the day you happen to be reading this post.

Testing Method

Before we provide the actual mileage of the Renault Kiger turbo petrol-automatic, let’s briefly explain our testing process so that you can decide if it matches your preferences, style and conditions for driving.

We use the tank-full-to-tank-full method, wherein we first fill up the fuel tank to the brim and reset the trip metre before commencing our 100km city drive in Delhi NCR traffic. We drive along the same route during weekdays to simulate a realistic city driving condition and with the same load to keep our test results consistent. Once we’re done with the Kiger city driving, we head back to the fuel station for a refill and note the trim metre reading to calculate city mileage and reset it before once again setting off for the highway run. For the Kiger petrol highway run, we choose the stretch around Sohna along the Delhi-Mumbai expressway and we drive it for 100km at a speed of around 100kmph. Then, we refill and note down the trip metre readings to calculate the highway mileage figure.

What Is The Actual City Mileage Of Renault Kiger Turbo Petrol-Auto?

After driving the Kiger with the 1.0L turbo petrol-automatic powertrain in the city traffic for about 4 hours and 40 minutes we drove back to the fuel station. We covered 102km with an average speed of 22kmph. During refuelling, we were able to fill up 10.39 litres of petrol in the Kiger at a per litre petrol price of Rs. 97. Thus, the total bill stood at Rs. 1007.83 and in our real-world city mileage test of the Kiger turbo petrol-automatic, we got a final fuel efficiency figure of 9.82kmpl.

What Is The Real Highway Mileage Of Renault Kiger Turbo Petrol-Auto?

With the tank filled to the brim once again, we headed out on the Delhi-Mumbai expressway to test the highway mileage of the Kiger turbo petrol-CVT. During the highway run, we cruised at 100kmph and managed to complete our 106km drive in about 1 hours and 45 minutes. So, our average speed during the highway mileage test of the Kiger was 60kmph. After the drive, we managed to fill up 7.65 litres of petrol in our Kiger and incurred a bill of Rs. 742.05 with a fuel price of Rs. 97 per litre in Gurgaon, Haryana. During our highway run of the Renault Kiger with the turbo petrol-automatic powertrain, we achieved a highway mileage of 13.86kmpl.

Claimed Mileage Vs Actual Highway/City Mileage Of Renault Kiger Turbo Petrol-Auto — What’s The Difference?

Based on our mileage test, the Kiger turbo petrol-automatic gave us a city mileage of 9.82kmpl. On the highways, you can expect this figure to jump up by 41% to 13.86kmpl, as we saw in our Kiger mileage test.

Compared to its official claimed mileage figure, our Kiger turbo petrol-automatic city mileage turned out to be 9.82kmpl. Thus, showing a negative 45% deviation from the claimed figure. With this fuel efficiency, you can expect to incur a per kilometre fuel cost of Rs. 9.88 if you drive mostly in the city traffic with a fuel cost of Rs. 97 per litre.

In terms of highway mileage, we achieved a figure of 13.86kmpl with the Kiger we drove. This number of 13.86kmpl is less than the claimed mileage figure. Thus, the deviation in the highway mileage of the Kiger turbo petrol-automatic is negative 22%. At this rate, you can expect to spend Rs. 7 per kilometre for predominantly highway driving during the ownership.

Renault Kiger Turbo Petrol-Auto — Actual City vs Highway Mileage, Custom Real Mileage, Fuel Cost Comparison

If your driving happens entirely on the highways or just within the city, then you know what mileage you can expect from the Renault Kiger turbo petrol-automatic. However, for those who have a mixed usage, we have compiled combinations of effective mileage of the Kiger Auto based on the variations of city-highway driving ratio.

Using this customised city-highway combinations, you can better gauge what fuel costs and realistic fuel efficiency you can expect from the Kiger with the 1.0L turbo petrol-automatic powertrain.

*City mileage: 9.82kmpl; Highway mileage: 13.86kmpl; Petrol fuel cost in Gurgaon at the time of testing: Rs. 97 per litre.

Based on these combinations, for a 70% city and 30% highway usage, you can expect a real world mileage of 11.03kmpl and a per kilometre fuel cost of Rs. 8.79 from the Kiger. With a flipped combination, where you drive the Kiger 70% on the highways and 30% in the city, you can expect your real-world mileage figure to hover around 12.65kmpl with fuel costs around Rs. 7.67 per kilometre.

For an even split of city and highway usage, your real fuel efficiency with the Kiger 1.0L turbo petrol-automatic powertrain, your effective real mileage is likely to be closer to 11.84kmpl. Thus, your per kilometre fuel costs could be around Rs. 8.19.

Real Driving Range (Full Tank Driving) Of Renault Kiger Turbo Petrol-Auto For Your Driving Requirements

The Renault Kiger with the 1.0L turbo petrol-automatic powertrain comes with a 40-litre fuel tank. With this capacity and our realistic mileage estimates, you can expect to get a range of 354km to 499km depending on whether your driving is entirely within the city or on the highways.

With a 70-30 driving split in favour of city usage, you can expect a full tank range of 397km from the Kiger. However, if you flip the driving condition to 30-70 in favour of highway, then you should expect a range of 455km with a full tank of fuel. On an even split of 50% city driving and 50% highway driving, you will have to refuel about every 426km.

*Tank range estimated based on 90% fuel usage with 10% remaining in reserve

At the time of testing the Renault Kiger turbo petrol-automatic, each refuelling will cost you Rs. 3,492 if you fill up 90%. This is assuming the petrol cost of Rs. 97 per litre as of September 06, 2023 in Gurgaon, Haryana.
