Finally, at long last, the hugely-anticipated Dacia Bigster SUV now has UK market pricing and specs, with a shockingly and refreshingly affordable price tag, to boot! With its prices starting from £24,995 (OTR), the new Dacia Bigster is a rugged yet spacious SUV, made to offer you an attainable family runabout without breaking the bank, without compromising practicality, versatility, or equipment. Even better still, there are 3 trim levels of the Dacia Bigster available for order here in the UK – Expression, Journey, and Extreme – all priced under £30,000. If you’re keen on getting one, the Bigster is ready for pre-order now, with a £250 refundable deposit.
First deliveries of the new Bigster are expected soon, which couldn’t come sooner, seeing how expensive new cars are, so it’s nice to see Dacia focusing on more affordable vehicles. Plus, it’s a pretty big SUV too, with as much rugged practicality as you’d ideally want! You could get the Bigster with up to 220mm of ground clearance, which ought to offer you a (tiny) bit of off-road capability. Additionally, if you opt for the top-spec Extreme trim, you could also get the Bigster with a panoramic glass roof, to help create a more airy cabin, and some modular roof bars for a bit more storage space up there. You could even pick between 6 exclusive paint options!
Practical, Spacious, Versatile, And Equally As Bold
Unsurprisingly for a family SUV, the new Dacia Bigster has a massive cabin! With its huge five-seater layout and a tonne of configurability for you to max out passenger and boot space with a flexible split-folding rear bench, there’s a vast amount of versatility that you could get out of the Bigster. At the front, you get a 10.1-inch infotainment system, dual-zone A/C, a multi-view camera system with front and rear parking sensors, as well as intelligent cruise control. If you really need the voluminous spacing afforded only by SUVs like the Bigster, you might be happy to hear that it offers 677 litres of boot space or up to 1,977 litres with the rear seats folded!
Speaking of flexibility, the new Dacia Bigster could be spec’d with one of three powertrains. The ‘TCe 140’ 1.2-litre turbo petrol may be front-wheel drive, but it comes with a 6-speed manual and a fairly impressive 51.4 mpg fuel economy rating. Meanwhile, there’s the ‘Hybrid 155’ 1.8-litre mild-hybrid petrol, a new powertrain for Dacia, offering you lower fuel consumption (60.1 mpg) and equally low CO2 tailpipe emissions (105g/km). Other than that, there’s the ‘TCe 130’, which is the only Bigster powertrain here that comes with all-wheel drive (AWD) to handle off-roading, even mildly, yet it still achieves respectable MPGs due to its 48V mild-hybrid system.
A Big Step Forward For Dacia In The SUV Segment
On the subject of three powertrains, the brand-new Dacia Bigster could be optioned with one of three trim levels, as well. To show just how well-priced the new, affordable Dacia Bigster is, even the entry-level Expression trim comes packed with standard equipment! For a rather low starting price of £24,995, you get keyless entry and start, dual-zone automatic climate control, wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, hill-start assist, lane-keep assist, emergency braking, and a split-folding 40/20/40 rear bench. Step it up to the mid-range Journey trim, and you get a handful of cosmetic upgrades, such as a larger set of 19-inch diamond-cut alloy wheels.
Otherwise, the Journey trim brings with it bespoke upholstery, front seat lumbar support, rear privacy glass, a wireless charging pad for your phone, a powered tailgate, heated front seats, a heated steering wheel, a high-beam assist, and more. Last but not least, the top-of-the-range Extreme trim gets you that aforementioned panoramic glass roof and modular roof bars, with some outdoorsy add-ons too, like washable upholstery and durable rubber mats. With this all-new Dacia Bigster being one of the cheapest large SUVs you could buy on the market, it’s just as surprising to see Dacia offer this much refinement and features, without a huge price tag!
