While the Kiger facelift spied wears heavy camouflage, what can be seen hints that the exterior design updates will be relatively minor. From the side, there seem to be no sheet metal changes, and even the alloy wheels look to be of similar design and size as the current model. The spy shots also indicate the split headlight setup continues, as does the C-shaped tail-lights. Among the changes expected to the Kiger’s exterior are revised front and rear bumpers, and the new Renault logo.

An expansion of the featuyres list is also likely.
