The Bigster is Dacia’s largest model yet. The Bigster looks tough, thanks to boxy wheelarches, skid plates at the front and rear and lots of protective cladding. Already Europe's leading B-segment brand, Dacia is entering the C-SUV segment with Bigster, an all-new vehicle strongly embodying Dacia’s values – Essential but Cool, Eco-Smart, Robust and Outdoor.

All-New Bigster is tailored to the specific requirements of a steadily growing market. Consumers face spiraling costs, becoming an issue for many C-SUV segment buyers who want to purchase a new car without compromising on comfort, performance and space.

David Durand, Dacia Design Director explains:
“With All-New Bigster, we have stayed true to the intentions expressed in Bigster Concept. Bigster is the ultimate expression of Dacia's values and is now our brand’s flagship vehicle
.”

Dacia's values are a close fit with the requirements of the C-SUV segment. The design of All-New Bigster showcases its robust styling and ability to support car buyers in their work, leisure and family activities. Generous dimensions are accentuated by taut, geometric shapes and volumes. The large wings over the wheels, and the position of the headlights and rear lights at the far edges of the vehicle, reinforce Bigster's assertive on-road stance. The front end is also true to Dacia’s design language, with a wide, gloss black grille featuring the iconic “Dacia Link” in the centre. The sculpted, horizontal bonnet has been designed to give the driver a clear view of the road below.

Graphic design features add a touch of casual elegance on the front end and doors, as well as above the rear number plate. Rather than following a trend and adopting only gloss black, Dacia designers have opted for a mix of gloss and matt black, creating a more robust and resistant finish.

The front and rear skid plates are dyed in the mass, making them more durable and resistant. The protection running all the way around the body – on the sides, wheel arches and lower part of the bumpers – is made from Starkle®. Dacia is using this material for a more sustainable approach. Developed by the brand’s engineers and incorporating recycled materials, Starkle® is used in an untreated and unpainted form.

Dacia says the 4.57-metre-long Bigster is one of the most spacious offerings in its class, and can comfortably accommodate five passengers and all their luggage.

The Dacia Bigster will go on sale in spring 2025, and while UK pricing hasn’t been announced yet, Auto Express believe it will start somewhere in the region of £26,000 to £30,000.

EQUIPMENT TO MAKE LIFE EASIER
All-New Bigster meets the requirements of C-SUV segment customers with its range of equipment, by focusing on day-to-day comfort and convenience. Bigster offers a wide choice of features as optional or standard, depending on trim level.

Access to Bigster is made easy by the hands-free key and electric powered tailgate. Standard on All-New Bigster Journey, the electric powered tailgate can be activated in three ways: the boot button next to the registration plate light, the a dashboard button or the key.

All-New Bigster models are equipped with a 10.1-inch central touchscreen as standard.

Expression trims feature the Media Display multimedia system with four speakers and Apple CarPlay® / Android AutoTM wireless connectivity.

Extreme and Journey trims feature the Media Nav Live multimedia system, which also provides connected navigation with real-time traffic information and map updates for eight years. Media Nav Live comes with a 6-speaker Arkamys 3D Sound System.

Setting high standards in driving pleasure, All-New Bigster is equipped, as standard, with a 7-inch (Expression) or 10-inch (Extreme and Journey) digital instrument panel. The customised colour display lets drivers display the information they find most useful.

All-New Bigster users will also benefit from the dual-zone air conditioning with dedicated air vents for passengers in the rear, a panoramic opening sunroof, wireless smartphone charger and so on. This equipment is available as optional or standard, depending on the trim level, so that customers always have a choice.

Journey and Extreme trims feature Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) as standard on the Hybrid versions, to meet the needs of retail and fleet customers on long journeys.

All-New Bigster is naturally compliant with GSRII, the latest European safety standard, with a range of driving aids as standard on all trim levels. Systems include advanced emergency braking (urban / extra-urban with vehicle, pedestrian, cyclist, and motorcycle detection), traffic sign recognition with speed alert, rear park assist, emergency stop signal, lane change alert, lane keeping assist, driver attention warning, and the emergency call system, eCall.

To make life easier for customers, Dacia has combined these features with an ingenious function called ‘My Safety’. This allows the driver to immediately switch certain ADAS to a personalised mode on start-up, to avoid having to adjust each one every time the car starts.
