Renault Bridger

Model Launch Date:

The Renault Bridger in its concept form will be unveiled globally on 10th March.

Feature list:

The Bridger concept will be a new compact SUV in the sub-four-metre segment. It is the same segment that comprises the Renault Kiger. Based on the teaser image and details released, we can confirm that the Bridger will be designed and developed locally in India.

It is expected to feature rugged styling, tailgate-mounted spare wheel, and a tall and upright stance. Expect this model to fit in between the Kiger and Duster in the India portfolio.

Engine, Performance, and Specifications:

The Bridger, since positioned in the compact SUV segment, will most likely make use of the existing 1.0-litre petrol engine in naturally aspirated and turbo guises, along with manual and automatic gearboxes.

Variants:

With all Renault models having received new variant nomenclature, the Bridger too, when launched, is expected to get the revised variant names such as Authentic, Techno, Evolution, and Emotion.

Safety:

While not much is known about the Bridger, we expect it to get a basic safety kit including six airbags, 360-degree camera, and a tyre pressure monitor.

Competition:

The Bridger will be a rival to the Maruti Suzuki Jimny and the Mahindra Thar in the sub-four-metre SUV segment.
