First look: 2025 Dacia Bigster | Here's everything you need to know

The Dacia Bigster is the bigger brother to the hugely popular Dacia Duster. Despite its added length it retains a five-seat setup to maximise room for rear passengers and boot space. It will be available with a range of different engines including hybrid options.

As someone who owns a 1.3 litre TCe150 Duster, I was hoping the Bigster would have larger engines, so they accomodate a different segment of the market.

[@Mack6234]

Thanks for your excellent review. I'd need to see them both in reality before I could decide.

[@CompletecarIe]

Thanks for watching.

[@jameshalpin1580]

Is it front wheel drive or rear wheel drive quite impressed so far and when is likely to be available in the uk

[@CompletecarIe]

The Bigster will be available with front-wheel drive and 4x4

[@jayant89]

sir you must be topper in studies..great review...!!!

[@jokerdog3332]

Looks awesome apart from the little shopping trolley wheels…… with a proper set of rims this is very land rover ish

[@davidhilliard1245]

Nice video but wondering if you heard when the new Duster will be available in Ireland, thanks.

[@CompletecarIe]

The first ones will be arriving in dealers in the coming weeks.

[@carljones8022]

The number plate on my car is B165 TER... Think I might sell it 🤔😊

[@CompletecarIe]

Maybe wait until closer to the car’s arrival, but yes, you might make something on it if you’re not very attached already.

[@oxi_tyxaios]

Lovely car but I'm totally disappointed about the engine available in the 4X4. If they release the 4X4 with a better engine, I'll be at the dealership the very next day. But not with that crappy 1.2 3cyl engine.

[@Narinjas]

Bigster is just a slightly bigger Dacia, Generation 2 had all that 4×4 goodness with Disel, now they nerfed it in gen 3 to introduce the Bigster ... in concept, Dacia Bigster was supposed to be the top of the line Dacia Electric SUV ... i just hope they take a look at Edison Mottors and make something like that, moderate battery for 150-250km (250 is best conditions, 150 is worst winter conditions) battery only range, but also have an efficient generator that can ptoduce 1.5× the maximum that the electric engines consume in turbo, and about the same output as them in efficiency mode, just to be covered in edge cases, and with generators is not that hard to do, and the generator engine does not power the wheels, is just an auxiliary system for redundancy and range extension, so you have in frame battery, with 2 electric motors , the back focused on efficient torque, while the front is focused on efficient regeneration braking, and a multi fuel disel generator in front... Bigster has enough space to fit all that, and would be a shame not to.

[@Narinjas]

F... i forgot to say Duster after dacia ...

[@alantheskinhead]

Shame they didn't put the tray table back in like my Jogger. But yes, I am ordering one!

[@royale4318]

Cars in this segment are often required to tow caravans; I wonder what the capacities will be, given it's only available with eother a 1.2 petrol, or the hybrid which, if the hybrid Duster and Jogger are anything to go by, will have a pathetically low GTW... However, if I'm wrong and it has a decent limit, I see no.reasom this couldn't eventually replace my ageing Honda CR-V

[@markhamilton83]

Sadly only 1000kg towing capacity

[@TheModernMusicsucks]

I was hoping they'd do that, to avoid competing with the Duster.

[@LifeInUK_0]

I wish they had 7 seater in this model...

[@anthonymannwexford]

Looks good.

[@CompletecarIe]

It does!

[@garyflynn2651]

We waited because we thought it was going to be an affordable 7 seater but wasn't to be.

[@CompletecarIe]

Don't rule out Dacia producing a seven-seater too

[@eugenebrannigan7563]

Nice one but not available until mid year 2025 to late for me

[@metamorfoza7656]

Shame there are no better engines, especially in 4x4 config

[@CompletecarIe]

Lots of people are saying it should have larger or more powerful engines.

This should have a 7 seater option, even if you pay for it. It's mindblowing that they don't have it. Why would anyone would choose this over the Duster?

[@mihayy2000]

Because of the bigger boot and extra options like dual zone climate control, air vents for back seats, electric seats and panoramic roof. We got two kids and we do road trips every month, so for us the bigger boot space is a must.

@@mihayy2000 yes, but the option would need to exist. Even if we have to pay extra the seats, the option should exist. I would buy the Bigster with 7 seats but in this case I can save some money and just go for the Duster

[@andreasandreas1754]

Because of the size and hopefully greater towing capacity. Duster only pulls 1500kg braked. Haven’t seen the stats yet but I’m hoping the Bigster climbs at least to 1800kg. If so, it’s mine! I can wait.

[@CompletecarIe]

Perhaps there's a larger, dedicated 7-seat model coming...

[@mihayy2000]

@@andreasandreas1754 go for the TCE 140 if you want towing power

[@Mart16g]

If only it had a proper engine…

[@CompletecarIe]

Could be good with a 2.0-litre diesel

[@nigelmitchell5726]

Who's the scruffy bloke 😂

[@lesfernandez888]

I don't think he's had a bath recently.

[@CityTelek]

NO, NO NO... Is a CUV (Crossover Utility Vehicle) NOT an SUV (Sport Utility Vehicle): CUV: Built on a unibody platform (autoportant), like a car, which makes it lighter and more fuel-efficient. It's designed for comfort and everyday road use. SUV: Built on a body-on-frame (chassis) platform, like a truck, it is more robust and better suited for off-road driving or heavy-duty tasks.

[@CptSpears007]

why do i have the feeling that I cant afford this

[@smashyrashy]

Because you are broke

[@mihayy2000]

It starts just under 25,000€ while the full hybrid will start at 30,000€ 🎉

@@mihayy2000 I really doubt that. The Duster hybrid is around 28 to 29k. I would say that, because of the bigger engine, around 35k or they would destroy Duster sales

[@mihayy2000]

All the speakers at the conference insisted on 25,000€ and 30,000€. We will just have to wait and see. Maybe it will be more expensive in Ireland compared to Germany or France.

@@mihayy2000 the 25k is for the base price.
