Dacia has revealed prices for the Bigster, its new SUV that will slot in above the hugely popular Duster in its growing 4×4 range.
The eagerly anticipated new C-segment vehicle will start at £24,995 on-the-road, with 4×4 versions coming in at £27,195. Due to go on sale in the spring, with pre-orders being taken now, the Bigster offers a choice of three powertrains. These include the TCe 130, a 1.2-litre turbocharged three-cylinder petrol engine running a 48V mild hybrid system, whose 130bhp at 4500rpm and 170lbf.ft at 2250rpm goes to all four wheels via a six-speed manual gearbox. This is the only option in the range with all-wheel drive; the same engine is also available tuned for 140bp at 5500rpm and 170lbf.ft at 2100rpm but only driving the front wheels, as does the all-new hybrid 155, a petrolelectric
unit mated to an automatic box.
As always with Dacia, value for money is a huge selling point – and like the Duster, the Bigster will offer a strong kit
list for your money. There are three trim levels, again mimicking the Duster line-up, with an entry-level Expression model and two parallel range-toppers called Extreme and Journey offering a choice of enhanced ruggedness or luxury.
All models come with keyless entry, dual-zone climate, alloys, front and rear parking sensors, Multiview camera, auto
wipers, Hill Start Assist and intelligent cruise control with speed limiter. You also get four YouClip attachment points
for securing accessories, while standard equipment also includes all the usual safety kit. A 10.1” central touchscreen
runs a multimedia system with four speakers and wireless connectivity for Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, while
a 40 / 20 / 40 split rear bench promises easy fold functionality.
