Dacia weighs up European launch for India-only Renault Bridger

Dacia could be set to expand its range of electric cars in Europe with another model. According to reports, the Renault subsidiary is considering bringing the Renault Bridger, developed for the Indian market, to Europe as an electric car - for which it would need to be adapted accordingly.

The Renault Bridger was unveiled in March 2026 as part of the new Renault futuREady strategy plan, but has so far received little attention in Europe due to its focus on the Indian market. The sub-four-metre SUV features a boxy, rugged design with 20 centimetres of ground clearance and a spare wheel mounted externally on the tailgate. Despite its compact dimensions, Renault promises a spacious interior, offering 20 centimetres of rear knee room and a 400-litre boot.

The production version is set to be based on the new modular RGMP small platform and will be available with internal combustion, hybrid, and battery-electric powertrains, depending on the market. Renault plans to launch the model in India by the end of 2027, with a gradual rollout to other international markets to follow. Europe was not originally part of the plan.

According to British trade publication Autocar , this could now change, as Dacia needs to electrify its model range more quickly and reduce the brand’s CO₂ emissions. Dacia has already announced plans to introduce a total of four electric vehicles by 2030. These include the second-generation Spring , which has just been launched, as well as electric versions of the Sandero and Sandero Stepway.
