Dacia launches the Bigster at 24,990 euros!

Dacia makes a strong impression with an enticing promise: a large family hybrid SUV, the Bigster, available from less than €25,000.

The Bigster is available for order starting today at 2 pm, from €24,990. For this attractive price, Dacia’s large SUV adopts a hybrid powertrain right from the entry level. This strategy allows Dacia to distinguish the Bigster from its smaller brother, the Duster. The latter, still available with a gasoline/LPG engine, continues to target customers seeking affordable models under €20,000 or hesitant about electrification. In addition to an electrified powertrain, the Bigster stands out with higher equipment levels: 17-inch alloy wheels and improved sound insulation from the base version. These choices reinforce Dacia’s upward brand positioning and avoid direct internal competition with the Duster. Offering a range from the Sandero to the Bigster, Dacia demonstrates exemplary control over its product strategy.

The Bigster comes in four trims: Essential, Expression, Journey (focused on urban needs), and Extreme, designed for adventurers.

From the Essential version, equipment meets expectations. It includes 17-inch alloy wheels, fixed roof bars, a 10.1-inch central screen paired with a 7-inch digital dashboard, manual air conditioning, parking sensors and a rear camera, as well as power windows front and rear. This equipment level clearly positions the Bigster as a modern and practical family vehicle.

Under the hood, the entry-level Bigster features mild hybridization. This system combines a 1.2-liter turbocharged three-cylinder gasoline engine with a 48V battery. Although it does not enable full electric driving, it optimizes startup and acceleration phases, while reducing fuel consumption and CO2 emissions. With an estimated average consumption of 5.6 l/100 km and emissions limited to 129 g/km, this SUV aligns with eco-friendly initiatives. The ecological penalty remains modest at €280, easily absorbed by buyers. Additionally, the presence of a six-speed manual gearbox will appeal to traditional driving enthusiasts.

With the Bigster, Dacia affirms its ambition to offer affordable models without compromising on quality or features. This large family hybrid SUV, although budget-friendly, does not lag behind more expensive vehicles. By providing a comprehensive and well-thought-out offer, the manufacturer reaffirms its ability to meet the expectations of a diverse clientele. The Bigster thus establishes itself as a real asset in the current automotive landscape, with a value-for-money ratio likely to set trends.
