Dacia is shaking up the compact SUV scene with the Bigster, a new offering expected to hit showrooms in 2025.
Borrowing the CMF-B platform from Renault, the Bigster promises affordability, a stark contrast to pricier American options.
While specifics are still emerging, the Bigster will be roughly the size of a Toyota RAV4, landing it in the C-segment (compact) in Europe, though potentially considered midsize elsewhere.
Unlike its American competitors, which often carry starting prices around $30,000, Dacia stays true to its reputation for value. Looking at the U.S. market, the Chevrolet Equinox might be the closest match.
With a starting MSRP of $26,600, the current Equinox aligns with Bigster’s expected dimensions and focus on affordability.
Aiming to be the most affordable option in the crowded C-segment SUV class, the Dacia Bigster is gearing up for a European launch later this year.
Taking design cues from its well-received sibling, the Duster, the Bigster boasts a rugged and youthful aesthetic that might resonate with American car buyers as well.
While a U.S. release is improbable for now, recent shots and a detailed rendering by Kolesa give us a look at what the production Bigster might look like.
