2025 Dacia Bigster : Affordable family SUV with impressive features
The Dacia Bigster, Dacia’s highly anticipated entry into the family SUV segment, is here, bringing a blend of affordability and practicality. Known for offering the most budget-friendly cars in their respective categories, Dacia is now stepping into the mid-sized SUV market with the Bigster. Positioned as a more upscale sibling to the popular Dacia Duster, the Bigster offers enhanced features, larger dimensions, and modern styling while maintaining Dacia’s competitive pricing.
Pricing and Trim Levels of the Dacia Bigster
The Dacia Bigster starts at a highly competitive price of €24,990 for the Essential trim, undercutting many competitors like the Renault Austral, Volkswagen Tiguan, and Nissan Qashqai. This base price reflects the Bigster’s larger size, enhanced equipment, and more powerful engines compared to the Duster, which starts at €19,990.
Pricing Overview:
- Essential Trim: €24,990
- Expression Trim: €26,500
- Extreme & Journey Trims: Starting at €28,300
For those seeking a hybrid, prices begin at €29,700, with top-tier models exceeding €30,000.

Powertrain Options
The Dacia Bigster offers multiple engine choices to cater to different needs:
- TCe 140: A 1.2L 3-cylinder turbocharged engine with mild-hybrid technology (48V), delivering 140 hp with a 6-speed manual transmission.
- ECO-G 140: A dual-fuel (petrol and LPG) version of the TCe 140.

Why the Dacia Bigster Stands Out
With its larger size (4.57 meters long), modern features, and affordable price, the Bigster aims to challenge established family SUVs. Its standard and optional features, combined with efficient engine options, make it a strong contender in the market.
