New Renault SUVs Coming to India - Full Details Out

After a quiet start to the decade, Renault is gearing up for a major SUV push in India. The company recently launched the Renault Duster, and plans to introduce multiple new SUVs by 2030, focusing on both family and urban buyers.

Family-Oriented Three-Row SUV

The first upcoming SUV will feature three rows of seats and is designed with families in mind.

While it takes inspiration from the rugged Duster, the new model will have a more elegant and refined exterior, with sleeker side panels, integrated roof rails, and smaller wheel arches.

Premium touches are expected inside, including elegant trims, updated upholstery, and high-quality materials. Renault could offer 2+3+2 or 2+2+2 seating layouts, making it suitable for larger families.

Modern Features and Tech

The SUV is expected to share several features with the all-new Duster, such as:

• Powered tailgate
• 10.25-inch digital instrument cluster
• 10.1-inch touchscreen infotainment with Google built-in
• Dual-zone automatic climate control
• 6-way power-adjustable front seats with ventilation
• Level 2 ADAS safety systems

Additional family-friendly features may include rear seat ventilation, reclining seats, boss mode, and rear sunshades.

Engine and Powertrain

Under the hood, the SUV will likely get a 1.2-litre turbo petrol engine producing 161 hp and 280 Nm, paired with 6-speed manual or 6-speed dual-wet-clutch automatic options.

A 1.8-litre petrol-hybrid version could follow a few months later, expected around October 2026, offering better efficiency and eco-friendly performance.

Premium Compact SUV: Renault Bridger

A year after the three-row SUV, Renault plans to launch the Renault Bridger, positioned above the Kiger as a premium compact SUV.

It will have a ground clearance of around 200 mm, a boot space of approx. 400 litres, and come with 1.2-litre petrol engines, with hybrid and fully electric versions expected by 2028.
