Dacia launches sales of the Bigster, with two new engines

Since the electric Spring in 2020, Dacia has not introduced new models into its range. Since January 9, 2025, however, there has been a seventh model, and it is the Bigster. Announced and presented last year, this extended version of the Duster has just launched its marketing. The first deliveries are expected in the spring, as is its arrival in dealerships.

The Bigster is a double bet: the first concerns the prices, since the best equipped versions of the model will also be the most expensive of the entire Dacia range combined, at more than 31,000 euros. As for the Duster, we limit ourselves to 28,100 euros maximum. Second bet: the size. Despite its equivalent in length to a Jogger, the new Bigster is the first to enter the automotive C segment, with a height of 1.71 m and a length of 4.57 m.

Not far removed from the concept which announced its arrival (and that of a new generation of Duster), the SUV retains its main features, and has nothing to envy of certain competitors available at much higher prices. However, Dacia does not want to betray itself, and its boss, Denis Le Vot, declared during the presentation to the press of the Bigster that “we wanted to deploy in the C segment the recipe that worked so well for us in the B segment. In other words, do it like Dacia”.

Prices and engines of the Dacia Bigster

Besides its dimensions, it is difficult to find real differences between a Bigster and a Duster that said. To integrate the SUV into the range, Dacia especially had to focus on its engines, and review its hybrid offering to make up the difference in size and weight of the SUV. Thus, under its hood we find a new 1.8 155 hp gasoline engine for the micro-hybrid version, replacing the 1.6 140 hp also present on the Jogger.

As an alternative to the hybrid engine, Dacia focused on a new LPG engine, this time 140 hp instead of 100 hp, and also equipped with micro-hybridization. It is with this 140 hp LPG version that we will benefit from the Bigster in entry-level Essential finish (24,990 euros), and that we will save the most on the high-end Extreme or Journey version (28,300 euros). With the 155 hp hybrid, you will have to pay 31,700 euros on Extreme and Journey, or pay 29,700 euros for the Expression finish.
