After the new generation Renault Duster was introduced in Turkey earlier this year, plans are currently in motion for the debut of the three-row Renault Bigster vehicle.
Bigster and the new Duster are anticipated to have a major impact on sales volumes for both Renault and Dacia, a member of the group.
Renault Teases Bigster SUV (Duster 7 Seater)
The 2024 Paris Motor Show, which takes place from October 14–20, will mark the introduction of the Renault Bigster SUV with Dacia branding.
The “Bigster” moniker is confirmed by teasers released by Dacia, which suggest the car will have a more imposing on-road presence while sharing styling cues with the latest Duster.
The Bigster will compete with rivals such as the Mahindra XUV700, Hyundai Alcazar, Tata Safari, and MG Hector Plus because it will be longer than the Duster, measuring 4,600 mm as opposed to 4,343 mm.
Teasers for the Dacia Bigster show off V-shaped tail lamps that resemble those on the new Duster along with a few small tweaks to the rear tailgate.
Compared to the Dacia version, the Renault Bigster will have interior elements, logos, and grille design that are exclusive to the brand.
The CMF-B chassis, as well as similar body panels, dashboards, seats, steering wheels, and mechanical equipment, will be used by the Duster and Bigster SUVs.
Features and Specifications
The Bigster’s powertrain choices are yet unknown, although it is most likely going to take inspiration from the new Duster, which comes with 1.6 and 1.2-liter turbocharged petrol engines.
With performance-enhancing terrain settings like Snow, Off-road, Mud/Sand, Auto, and Eco, the Bigster will be offered in both 4X2 and 4X4 configurations.
The Bigster is anticipated to go on sale in India six months after the new Duster, which is anticipated to come in the country in the second half of 2025.
Nissan will also introduce its updated Duster and Bigster models in India. These models will have noticeable aesthetic changes, especially in the front and back fascias.
Nissan’s Duster will emphasize refinement and a modern vibe, while Renault’s Duster will feature a rough look.
In an effort to increase local sales, the Renault-Nissan alliance in India will also give rise to more sibling vehicles, maybe including EVs.
