Dacia’s latest offering, the All-New Bigster, is set to redefine the C-SUV segment by delivering more style, technology, comfort, and versatility, all at an affordable price. Staying true to its values of practicality and value for money, Dacia is making the C-SUV market more accessible, offering a rugged, spacious vehicle with advanced features to meet the growing demands of modern drivers.
A Bold New Design with Purpose
The Bigster’s design prioritises function, emphasising simplicity and sturdiness. The vehicle’s large dimensions are highlighted by strong geometric lines, giving it a robust and commanding road presence. Features such as 19-inch wheels and a two-tone body colour add to its appeal, while the high, vertical front end and broad wheel arches enhance its off-road capabilities. Dacia’s decision to blend gloss and matte black finishes on the exterior creates a durable yet stylish appearance, breaking away from traditional SUV trends.
The use of Starkle®—a recycled, unpainted material developed by Dacia—further reflects the brand’s commitment to sustainability, reinforcing the ruggedness of the Bigster while reducing its environmental impact. This material is utilised in key areas such as the wheel arches and lower body protection, ensuring durability for outdoor adventures.
Enhanced Comfort and Technology
Inside, the Bigster provides an exceptional level of comfort. It boasts best-in-class space, accommodating five passengers with ample headroom and legroom, making it ideal for long journeys. The 40/20/40 split rear bench seat adds to the vehicle’s practicality, allowing for flexible storage configurations while maintaining passenger comfort.
The Bigster’s interior design mirrors the exterior’s simplicity, with geometric lines and a focus on space and ergonomics. A high-mounted dashboard provides a clear view of driving information, which is displayed on either a 7-inch or 10-inch digital instrument panel, depending on the trim. The central 10.1-inch touchscreen, standard across all models, integrates seamlessly into the dashboard and houses the vehicle’s multimedia system, which includes options such as wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™.
Passengers in the back are not left out, with dual-zone air conditioning and dedicated rear vents ensuring comfort. In addition, a panoramic sunroof, available on the higher-spec trims, lets natural light flood the cabin, enhancing the overall sense of space.
Versatility Meets Off-Road Capability
Dacia has equipped the Bigster with real off-road capabilities, including a 4×4 powertrain for tackling challenging terrains. The vehicle’s sturdy build is matched with a suite of off-road driving modes, such as Mud/Sand and Off-Road, providing enhanced control on different surfaces. A hill descent control system is also available, making steep declines easier to navigate by automatically adjusting the brakes.
With practicality at its core, the Bigster includes modular roof bars that can switch between longitudinal and crosswise positions, eliminating the need for additional roof bars. Its spacious boot, which can hold up to 667 litres, offers ample room for family trips and outdoor gear. For those seeking even more adventure, the Sleep Pack—a portable double bed—can be fitted in the boot, while additional accessories such as a roof tent and cargo box offer further versatility.
Electrified Powertrains and Sustainability
The Bigster is Dacia’s first model to feature electrified powertrains. The Hybrid 155 powertrain combines a petrol engine with two electric motors and a battery, allowing for up to 80% of urban driving in all-electric mode. This hybrid setup reduces fuel consumption and emissions, making the Bigster an eco-friendly option without sacrificing performance.
Sustainability also plays a significant role in the materials used throughout the Bigster. Almost 20% of the vehicle is made from recycled plastics, including the Starkle® material in the lower body and bumpers. Dacia has also phased out the use of leather and chrome, further aligning with its environmentally conscious approach.
A Trim for Every Driver
The All-New Bigster is available in three trims: Expression, Extreme, and Journey. Each is tailored to meet different customer needs. The base Expression trim offers dual-zone air conditioning, a 10.1-inch touchscreen, and 17-inch alloy wheels. The top-tier Extreme trim adds features such as a panoramic sunroof, 18-inch wheels, and rugged rubber mats for outdoor enthusiasts. The Journey trim focuses on style and comfort, with a powered tailgate, two-tone paintwork, and adaptive cruise control.
With a clear focus on delivering value for money, the All-New Bigster ensures that drivers do not need to compromise on comfort, technology, or performance. Whether for everyday commuting or outdoor adventures, the Bigster offers a versatile, reliable, and affordable solution in the competitive C-SUV market.
Ready for Adventure
The Dacia Bigster is built for drivers who seek adventure without breaking the bank. Its robust design, combined with cutting-edge technology and eco-friendly powertrains, ensures it stands out in a crowded segment. Dacia’s practical, no-nonsense approach has paid off with the Bigster, offering a vehicle that is as functional as it is stylish, all while staying true to the brand’s ethos of delivering “essential but cool” cars.
