Renault has officially revealed the Bridger Concept, with production of the new sub-4-metre SUV set to begin in 2027. Once launched in India, the Bridger could take on the likes of the Hyundai Venue, Kia Sonet, Maruti Suzuki Brezza, Mahindra XUV 3XO, Tata Nexon and Skoda Kylaq. While the French automaker is yet to confirm the powertrain specs of the Bridger Concept’s production version, it could use the Kiger’s 1 litre turbo petrol engine, and may even offer a new naturally aspirated engine alongside hybrid and EV powertrains.

The production-spec version of the Renault Bridger will be designed and developed in India, and the SUV is likely to be based on the brand’s new modular R-GMP architecture. Renault’s preview of its upcoming compact SUV showcases old-school boxy proportions with a rear-mounted spare wheel mixed with modern styling elements such as a twin-slatted grille with illuminated ‘Renault’ lettering, chic LED elements, gloss-black upper body trim and bold-looking alloy wheels.

Dear Autocar India team, thank you for the guidance and advice you provide to car buyers and enthusiasts. My family is planning to replace our 2014 Hyundai Xcent SX(O) 1.2L VTVT Petrol (now at 1.3L+ km). There is no urgency, but with the rapidly changing market, we want to plan ahead. We are looking for a <4m city car with petrol (or flex-fuel), automatic transmission, and good fuel efficiency. A hybrid would be ideal, though we understand there may not be options yet. We are open to waiting for one from Hyundai or Maruti. Since we already have a 2023 Tata Safari XZA+ for highway trips, this car will mainly be a reliable city runabout. Budget: ₹10-15 lakh on-road.

There are no strong hybrid options available in your budget as yet, especially in the sub-4m segment. However, we do expect this to change over the next few years.Renault Bridger has already been announced as a future sub-4m SUV and is expected to offer multiple powertrains, including a hybrid. That said, it’s still some time away from launch (likely around 2027), and given the cost of hybrid tech, it’s unlikely to fall within a Rs 15 lakh on-road budget. Similarly, there is industry buzz around a hybrid version of the Hyundai Venue, but again, pricing could be a challenge.The best option for you today, and a logical upgrade from your Hyundai Xcent, is the Honda Amaze. Like your current car, it’s a compact sedan, so the form factor will feel familiar.The Amaze CVT is particularly well-suited to your usage. The gearbox is smooth and stress-free in traffic, and the 1.2-litre petrol engine is refined and reasonably efficient in real-world city conditions. It’s also very easy to drive, with light controls and excellent visibility, ideal for daily urban use.What stands out is how usable it is as an all-rounder. There’s good rear-seat space and a genuinely practical boot, making it feel like a proper step up rather than just a replacement.
