The wait is finally over! The new Dacia Bigster has been revealed, and as the name suggests, it’s the largest SUV the brand has ever produced. Here’s everything you need to know:
A Budget-Friendly Family SUV
After years of anticipation, the Dacia Bigster is finally here, providing a wallet-friendly alternative to family SUVs like the Volkswagen Tiguan and Hyundai Tucson. It has already made waves, pulling in more views than any other news story on the Carwow website this year and earning the title of 2025’s Most Anticipated New Car at the Carwow Car of the Year Awards. While final prices haven’t been confirmed, the Bigster is expected to start at under £30,000 when it hits the market in 2025, making it one of the most affordable options in its class.
The production Bigster stays true to the design language first introduced with the Dacia Bigster Concept. If you’re familiar with the Duster, you’ll notice the family resemblance:
Front End: Both SUVs share an upright nose and sleek headlights, but the Bigster boasts a deeper front bumper for a rugged edge.
Side Profile: A boxy silhouette with chunky cladding gives the Bigster a tough, adventurous vibe. Rear door handles cleverly hidden in the trim are a nod to its sibling.
Rear Styling: Signature triangular rear lights and a bold spoiler complete the look, borrowing heavily from the concept design
Inside, the Bigster is built for practicality—true to its name. It offers a class-leading 667 litres of boot space, outpacing the Volkswagen Tiguan by 15 litres and the Kia Sportage by nearly 80 litres.
Dacia has also introduced the ingenious YouClip system, featuring mounting points for various accessories such as:
These accessories can be purchased separately from your local Dacia dealer.
The spacious interior ensures plenty of head and legroom for passengers, while the Extreme trim is perfect for adventurers, featuring easy-clean rubber mats and wipeable seat upholstery. Tech features include a 10.1-inch touchscreen with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto as standard, as well as a 7.0-inch digital driver’s display on entry-level models, upgraded to 10.0 inches on higher trims.
The Dacia Bigster introduces an all-new hybrid system alongside its conventional petrol engines:
Hybrid Engine: A 155hp combination of a petrol engine and two electric motors, enabling 80% EV mode driving in urban areas.
Petrol Options: A 140hp 1.2-litre engine paired with a six-speed manual, and a 130hp all-wheel-drive version—ideal for light off-road adventures.
Though official prices are yet to be announced, the Bigster is expected to cost less than £30,000, undercutting rivals like the Volkswagen Tiguan by around £4,000. Key standard features include:
Higher trims offer luxuries like a panoramic glass roof, adaptive cruise control, and dual-zone air conditioning. For outdoor enthusiasts, modular roof bars and a sleep pack that converts the back of the SUV into a double bed are available, along with a tent attachment.
