All New Dacia Bigster 7-Seater Launched Globally: Key Details Inside.

Dacia has officially introduced the new Bigster, a 7-seater SUV that is the extended version of the well-known Renault Duster. The Bigster is designed to satisfy consumers seeking an SUV that is both spacious and convenient. Offering a 4x4 drivetrain and hybrid power options, this SUV is expected to make a strong impact in the mid-size SUV market. Here's what it brings to the table:

Design and Exterior Features

The Bigster’s design has a lot in common with the Duster, especially at the front, where it features Y-shaped LED headlights. However, unlike the Duster, the new Bigster’s lower grille area has a cleaner look, without the plastic trim typically found on SUVs. The front also includes neatly placed fog lights and a silver skid plate to protect the bumper.



The side profile shows off large 19-inch alloy wheels, with hexagon-shaped wheel arches and black cladding that gives it a rugged appearance. The rear door handles are built into the C-pillar for a streamlined look. It also comes with silver roof rails and the option of a black roof for a more striking appearance. At the back, the SUV has V-shaped LED tail lights, and the boot door features the 'Dacia' name across a carbon-fibre-like strip. The rear bumper is fitted with a skid plate, giving it a solid finish.

Powertrain Options for the Dacia Bigster

The Dacia Bigster will offer three powertrain options with hybrid technology, combining petrol and electric power for better efficiency and driving experience. Here's a look at the details:

Powertrain	Technology	Advantage	Battery/Driving Range
Hybrid 155	Full hybrid (Petrol + Electric)	Up to 80% electric drive in urban mode	230V battery with automatic charging
TCE 140	Mild hybrid (Petrol + Electric)	Electric assistance for the combustion engine	48V battery with automatic charging
TCE 130 4x4	Mild hybrid (Petrol + Electric)	4x4 transmission with electric power-assist	48V battery with automatic charging

Interior and Technology

Inside, the Bigster uses grey and black tones, with materials chosen for sustainability. The dashboard is driver-friendly, featuring a 10.1-inch touchscreen angled slightly toward the driver, along with a 10-inch digital display behind the steering wheel. The infotainment system is paired with a 6-speaker Arkamys audio system. Other notable features include a panoramic sunroof and dual-zone climate control for added comfort.



The driver’s seat offers electric adjustments, while the lumbar support remains manually adjustable. The centre console has a cooled compartment and extra storage, along with rear air vents for better airflow to the back seats.

Seating and Boot Space

The second row offers a split-folding bench seat, with a 40:20:40 split for flexibility. All seats come with adjustable headrests, and the middle seat can be turned into an armrest with built-in cupholders. While the global version does not feature a third row, it provides a generous 667 litres of cargo space in the back.

Safety and Driving Features

In terms of safety, the Bigster is equipped with several airbags and advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS), which include features like automatic emergency braking and adaptive cruise control. The SUV is also offered with a 4x4 powertrain option, which enhances its capability for rough terrain as well as everyday driving.

Conclusion

With its larger size, additional seating, and advanced features, the new Dacia Bigster is set to be a solid addition to the SUV lineup. Its spacious interior, modern technology, and off-road options make it an appealing choice for those looking for a family vehicle with extra room and capability.
