By Renault will officially introduce the Duster next year in India as the global debut has already taken place and it is going to be one of the most important launches of the company. Now the company is developing a seven-seater version of the Duster and the test mule has been spotted for the first time. This development marks a significant expansion of the Duster lineup, promising enhanced space and versatility for larger families or those seeking extra seating capacity.
Thew new seven-seater model is derived from the Duster, the Bigster will share many components, including the CMF-B platform, ensuring continuity in performance and reliability. While Dacia is expected to unveil the seven-seater SUV globally later this year, the Renault iteration will follow shortly thereafter, adding to the anticipation surrounding its release. Reports indicate that the Dacia Bigster will stretch approximately 4.6 meters in length, dwarfing the Duster by 300 mm.
This extended length translates into a more spacious cabin, complemented by a slightly longer wheelbase. Design-wise, the Bigster will retain the signature styling cues of the Duster while incorporating subtle enhancements for a refreshed aesthetic. Internally, the Bigster is anticipated to feature upgraded materials, reflecting a higher price point compared to its predecessor. In terms of powertrain options, the Bigster will mirror the Duster’s offerings, which include petrol-hybrid, turbo-petrol, and petrol-LPG variants tailored to different markets. Additionally, like the Duster, the Bigster will offer both 4×4 and 4×2 configurations along with various drive modes to adapt to diverse driving conditions.
