Renault Bigster Spotted
The Renault Bigster will feature larger dimensions compared to the Duster but will retain some design elements. Measuring 4.6 meters in length, the Bigster will be approximately 300 mm longer than the Duster. While it will share components such as body panels and some design cues, the Bigster will showcase a distinct design overall.
The Bigster will be a three-row SUV, featuring larger second-row doors for easier entry and exit. Additionally, the wheelbase will be extended to provide ample interior space across all three rows. In terms of features, it will come equipped with premium interiors and a range of features to provide a luxurious car experience.
The Bigster is anticipated to feature off-road capabilities, offering both 4X2 and 4X4 options with various terrain modes including Auto, Mud/Sand, Off-road, and Eco mode.

Renault Bigster Engine Specifications
The Bigster is anticipated to feature a 1.6-liter petrol hybrid engine along with a 1.2-liter turbo petrol engine. The hybrid variant is coupled with a 1.9 kWh battery, enabling the vehicle to operate in all-electric mode for up to 80 percent of city driving. Meanwhile, the 1.2-liter turbo petrol engine produces 130 bhp of power and is paired with a 48V starter motor.
Verdict
The Renault Duster is anticipated to be launched in the Indian market in 2025, and the Bigster could follow suit thereafter. Currently, Renault lacks a mid-size or larger SUV in the Indian market, and the introduction of the Duster could potentially reignite interest in the brand.
