Overview
- Renault submitted design-patent drawings for the Bridger in India on Monday that largely match the concept and show production-oriented changes.
- The published images keep the Bridger’s upright, boxy silhouette, tailgate-mounted spare wheel, LED DRL signature and C-pillar rear door handles while altering wheels, bonnet and bumper details.
- India’s registry classed the filing under 'Games and Toys,' a designation that three outlets say could indicate the submission is for a scale model rather than a full-vehicle design protection.
- Renault has said the vehicle will be designed, developed and built in India on the RGMP platform shared with the Duster and the company has not confirmed final specs or launch timing.
- Media reports list several unconfirmed powertrain candidates including a 1.2L petrol-hybrid, a new 1.2L turbo petrol and possible factory CNG and suggest an AWD option may be offered for tougher trims.
