Both SUVs are well-kitted and have complementary features. The Kiger facelift brings in a few niceties that feel more premium in day-to-day use, like ventilated front seats for hot summers. The Magnite, on the other hand, feels a bit more plush inside with its leatherette seats and a slightly larger 9-inch infotainment screen. Other features are mostly the same in both cars.

Under the hood, there’s no real difference between the two. Both the Renault Kiger facelift and Nissan Magnite come with the same 1-litre petrol engine options: a naturally aspirated motor good for 72 PS and 96 Nm, and a turbo-petrol unit producing 100 PS and up to 160 Nm. Transmission choices are also the same. The NA petrol engines are paired with a 5-speed manual or an AMT, while the turbo-petrol gets a 5-speed manual or a CVT.
