It will be competing with Kia Sonet, Maruti Suzuki Vitara Brezza, Hyundai Venue, Tata Nexon, Ford Ecosport and the Nissan Magnite. Here is a render of the Kiger with a sporty racing paint job in with the compact-SUV does look really attractive. The video has been uploaded by SRK Designs on his YouTube channel.

The artist has given the Kiger a sporty dual paint job. The default colour of the vehicle in the video is Blue on which the artist has used a black mud splash effect on the rear half of the compact-SUV. The stock alloy wheels have been replaced with smart-looking twin 5-spoke alloy wheels finished in black. Due to this the ride height of the SUV has decreased, but it now gives a much more sporty stance to the Kiger. The alloy wheels also get blue highlighting which looks nice. Then there is a roof box mounted on the roof rails which can store items that will not fit in the boot.
