The battle of the compact SUVs in India is getting all the more heated up with different manufacturers presenting a mix of new vehicles. Now, we have a long list, namely, Maruti Suzuki Brezza, Ford EcoSport, Tata Nexon, Hyundai Venue, Kia Sonet, Toyota Urban Cruiser, Mahindra XUV300, and for that matter even the Honda WR-V. But more interestingly, Renault-Nissan's alliance has brought in two more contenders and at a very competitive price. Yes, we are talking about the Nissan Magnite and Renault Kiger, which are the most affordable SUVs amongst its rivals. And despite being priced lower, they are packed with a lot of equipment and are available in a choice of petrol engines and different transmission options. Since they are based on the same CMF-A platform and are in a neck and neck race, we tested the 1.0-litre turbo-petrol versions equipped with a manual gearbox to give you an idea about their on-road performance.

There are plenty of options available now if you are in the market for a petrol-powered mid-size SUV. And, if you can look beyond the current favourite Hyundai Creta and Kia Seltos duo, there's another pair of siblings that will catch your attention. The Renault Duster and the Nissan Kicks. Besides, there's a good reason why you should take a look at these two. Especially, if more power and turbocharging are what you are looking for. These are amongst the most powerful turbo-powered petrol SUVs on sale in India. We shall draw an analogy between the two, and this comparison should help you decide which one to choose.

Every manufacturer has a product that shows-off its engineering prowess. Audi has the 600 plus bhp R8, Honda has the new NSX and even a daily soap saas bahu brand like Toyota has the bonkers GT86. Nissan too has a product and a very special one at that, the Godzilla of cars, the GT-R.

The Renault-Nissan alliance isn’t new in India, but what certainly is - the introduction of compact SUVs from both carmakers. First was the Nissan Magnite, and then came the Renault Kiger, both sharing their underpinnings with each other. Though there's a lot in common between the two, a lot is different too. This picture gallery shows exactly that with the Kiger on the left and Magnite on the right.
