Renault Bigster
The original company is Dacia, an automaker from Romania, and it is part of the Renault group. If it comes to India, it will be branded as the Renault Bigster, just like the Renault Duster. Highlights of this SUV include being 230 mm longer than the Duster, with a wheelbase that is 43 mm longer. From a dimensional perspective, it is well-suited to compete with the Alcazar, XUV700, and Hector Plus.
Talking about design point of view, it definitely feels more premium than the Duster, with significant differences evident at the front, side profiles, and rear end. From every angle, it looks like a proper 7-seater SUV. It boasts 19-inch wheel rims that enhance its rugged attitude, and the ground clearance is between 200 mm and 210 mm.
Internationally, it will be available with three powertrain options: a strong hybrid, a mild hybrid, and an LPG-powered engine. However, there is no information on which powertrain will be offered when it is ready for India. Only time will tell.

Verdict
The Bigster has the soul of the Duster but wears a completely different skin that feels luxurious and boasts a macho character, which people love in every car. Internationally, it will debut at the Paris Motor Show, but there is still a long wait for it to arrive in India. For that, we'll have to be patient.
