The Dacia Bigster is a project we’ve known about for a long time. In terms of dimensions, this SUV will be higher than Dacia Duster, and the price is obviously a little higher, but still just as affordable compared to models in the same segment.

And it is the price of this Dacia Bigster that interests us today, because even if the car has not yet been presented, Dacia has already given some clues about its price positioning.

The most expensive model in Dacia?

The Dacia Bigster wants to be more “strong”, as demonstrated by the new visual identity of Dacia, and compete with models such as the Peugeot 5008 or the Skoda Kodiaq. The car will hit our roads in 2025and despite Dacia’s recent upmarket move, the SUV will have an affordable positioning.

The Dacia Bigster will be built on the CMF platform, which is already used in Groupe Renault models of similar sizes, meaning it will share a platform with models such as the Nissan X-Trail or Renault Austral. However, this C-segment SUV aims to be affordable. Xavier Martine, the manufacturer’s director of sales and marketing, has already provided some key details on the matter. The Bigster should be the cheapest model in its segment.

“Price is a key element for customers”he said, insisting on it “the price cannot be a consequence of the technological choices we make”. In other words, as Xavier Martinet explains, “the price has to be set before we start building the car from a purely technological point of view”. It is thanks to this strategy that such models as Sandero and Duster were developed.

The new Dacia Duster will arrive earlier

Dacia intends to make its Bigster slightly more expensive than the Duster, which will debut in France in from 17,990 euros today. By 2024, the Duster will also be replaced by a new generation and no doubt a small price increase.

Therefore, we can expect a small price less than 22,000 euros entry level for the Bigster, also taking into account the price increase for the Duster in 2024 with the arrival of the new generation.
