Renault Bigster

Wednesday, 16 October 2024 12:12 AM Dacia has confirmed that the Bigster will not have a third row of seats, instead focusing on a 5-seat version to maintain the signature Dacia value. Customers needing extra seating will be directed to the Dacia Jogger. The Bigster will be manufactured at Dacias Mioveni factory in Romania from 2025. I believe this strategy will help Dacia keep costs down and appeal to its budget-conscious customer base.

Tuesday, 15 October 2024 07:23 AM The Bigster is expected to start at under GBP 30,000 in the UK, which translates to a competitive price in the Indian market once taxes and other costs are factored in. The top-end Journey trim will include features like 19-inch wheels, two-tone paint, and an electric tailgate. Pre-orders are expected to open early in 2025, with sales starting later in the year. I think the pricing strategy will be a key factor in its success.

Tuesday, 15 October 2024 12:03 PM Dacia has announced that the Bigster will go all-electric in its second generation, sometime around 2032-2033, following the electrification of the Sandero and Duster models. This aligns with the Renaulution strategy to transition towards more sustainable vehicles. For now, the Bigster will be available with internal combustion engine and hybrid options. I believe this long-term plan shows Dacias commitment to sustainability.

Wednesday, 09 October 2024 07:51 AM The Dacia Bigster will feature a diverse powertrain lineup, including LPG, mild-hybrid, and hybrid options. The hybrid setup, a first for the Renault Group, combines a 1.4-kWh battery pack with a four-cylinder gas engine and two electric motors, allowing the SUV to run in zero-emissions mode around town for up to 80% of the time. This eco-friendly approach aligns well with current market trends.

Wednesday, 09 October 2024 03:46 PM The Bigster boasts more space and features compared to the Duster, with a longer wheelbase, extended rear overhang, and more legroom for the second-row seats. It also has a massive boot with a capacity of 667 liters. Additional features include a 10.1-inch infotainment display, digital instrument cluster, and advanced safety features like adaptive cruise control. I think these upgrades will make the Bigster a compelling choice for families.

Wednesday, 09 October 2024 07:00 PM Dacia has unveiled the Bigster at the 2024 Paris Motor Show, marking its entry into the C-segment SUV market. The Bigster is designed to be sturdy and spacious, with a focus on essential features and affordability. It will be available in three trims: Expression, Extreme, and Journey, each offering a range of features like dual-zone air conditioning and a panoramic sunroof. I believe this will help Dacia appeal to a broader customer base.

Wednesday, 09 October 2024 04:06 PM The Bigster features several comfort and technology upgrades, including an acoustic windscreen, thicker glazing, better sound insulation, and a new carpet. It also comes with a multimedia system featuring Arkamys 3D Sound and a YouClip system for mounting accessories. These additions enhance the overall driving and passenger experience. I think these details will make the Bigster stand out in its segment.

Wednesday, 09 October 2024 05:45 AM Dacias CEO, Denis Le Vot, emphasized that the Bigster is tailored to meet the specific requirements of the C-SUV segment, offering comfort, performance, and space without compromising on value. The Bigster represents Dacias ambition to scale greater heights and enter new market segments while staying true to its brand values. I believe this approach will resonate well with customers looking for a balance between quality and affordability.

Wednesday, 09 October 2024 01:07 PM The Bigsters design includes a redesigned front bumper, extended wheelbase, and longer rear overhang compared to the Duster. It also features two-tone body colors and 19-inch wheels on higher trims, along with a new metallic shade called Indigo Blue. The interior design focuses on simplicity and geometric lines, echoing the exterior design. I think the design updates will appeal to customers looking for a stylish yet practical SUV.

Monday, 07 October 2024 03:19 PM The Dacia Bigster is expected to be launched in India in early 2026, following the launch of the new-gen Renault Duster in mid-2025. The Bigster will compete against SUVs like the Hyundai Alcazar, Tata Safari, and Mahindra XUV700. Nissan India will also launch its own version of the Bigster with a different design and badges. I think this could be a game-changer in the Indian SUV market given Dacias reputation for value.

Wednesday, 09 April 2025 05:54 PM The Renault Bigster, set to launch in India in 2026, will come in a 7-seater variant, competing directly with the Tata Safari and Hyundai Alcazar. The SUV will feature a 1.3-litre turbo-petrol engine, an AWD setup, and future hybrid engine options. It will also include advanced features like a panoramic sunroof, dual-zone climate control, and an ADAS suite. I think this larger SUV will be a strong contender in the Indian market with its family-friendly design and advanced technology.

Wednesday, 09 April 2025 03:39 AM The Renault Bigster will be powered by a 1.3-litre turbocharged petrol engine paired with a 7-speed dual-clutch automatic gearbox in the Indian market. This engine will also power the third-gen Renault Duster and other upcoming Nissan SUVs in India. The global models will offer multiple engine options, including mild and strong hybrid variants.

Monday, 31 March 2025 04:10 AM The Renault Bigster is expected to measure around 4.57 meters in length, 1.80 meters in width, and 1.70 meters in height, with a wheelbase of around 2.74 meters. It will share interior design elements with the Dacia Bigster, including a similar dashboard layout, instrument panel, and touchscreen infotainment unit. Features will include a powered drivers seat, powered tailgate, and wireless charging.

Monday, 31 March 2025 03:04 AM The global variant of the Renault Bigster comes with a rugged exterior design, featuring sleek LED headlights with Y-shaped elements, a V-shaped LED tail light, black body cladding, and hexagonal wheel arches. This design is expected to be carried over to the Indian market version. The SUV will also offer accessories like roof racks and a sleep pack with a fold-out double bed.

Monday, 31 March 2025 04:33 AM The Renault Bigster is set to compete in the mid-sized SUV segment, rivaling models like the Jeep Compass, Toyota Corolla Cross, and Volkswagen Taos. It will be larger than the outgoing Jeep Compass and will offer more spacious interiors. I think its size and features will make it an attractive option for Indian buyers.

Monday, 31 March 2025 03:57 AM Renault has announced that the Bigster will be launched in international markets first before its arrival in India in 2026. The SUV has been spotted in its final production form, indicating it is close to launch. I believe the international launch will provide valuable feedback before its Indian debut.

Monday, 20 January 2025 04:30 PM Renault has confirmed that the launch of the Renault Bigster in India has been delayed until 2026. The Bigster will be based on the Dacia Bigster, a 5-seater mid-sized SUV, but will be offered in a 7-seater configuration for the Indian market. It will rival the Jeep Compass and other mid-sized SUVs globally. I believe the wait will be worth it given the enhanced features and powertrain options.

Monday, 20 January 2025 04:48 AM The India-spec Renault Bigster will likely feature a dual-tone Grey and Black interior theme using sustainable materials. It will be equipped with a 10.1-inch touchscreen infotainment system, a 10-inch digital drivers display, and a 6-speaker Arkamys sound system. Safety features will include multiple airbags and Advanced Driver Assistance Systems. I think the use of sustainable materials is a great move towards eco-friendliness.

Monday, 20 January 2025 06:46 PM The interior of the Renault Bigster will include premium features such as a panoramic sunroof, dual-zone climate control, rear AC vents, and an electrically adjustable drivers seat with lumbar support. The SUV will also feature a range of safety features, including a rear parking camera and Advanced Driver Assistance Systems.

Monday, 20 January 2025 01:53 AM The Renault Bigster will offer advanced technology features, including a 10.1-inch touchscreen infotainment system and a 10-inch digital drivers display.
