Dacia is changing the market. This car will take all the sales from the likes of Tucson, Sportage, Kodiaq and so on. For fraction of the price. What you mentioned is so true. Dacia is making practical and affordable cars in a time where all the greedy companies are adding stuff to the cars that don't provide any additional value. Great job Dacia!
Dacia is a Renault Group car, it’s cheaper because of labour costs in Romania.
Just a common sense vehicle. Well done Dacia. Other manufacturers take note!
Having owned a duster since 2017 without a single fault can confirm they are great value for money if you look beyond the badge.
Fortunately many people now are
there in the same place as Skoda were years ago. Dacia are owned buy Renault i just hope they don't go down the road the same as Skoda did once VW got there hands on them. Skoda are now expensive
I think Dacia could teach the big car companies a thing or two!! Looks like a great car with some clever design features.
Dacia are, as Skoda did a few years ago now, and are coming of age, so to speak. Long gone are the basic utilitarian vehicles, that your kids wouldn't be seen dead in, and are now something to be proud of.
Older kids and teens still wouldn't be seen dead in it....good as it seems
Good start to the day - coffee and petrol ped. Have a good day all!
The joys of an early embargo 😂
@@PetrolPed great that you got the invite 💪😊
10 years ago, dacia was the car for people who want a good car and that it. Now it looks even good and for going off the trail. It looks just good and useful
Just eating my breakfast didn’t expect to see you at this time of the morning
The joys of an embargo 😂
Can see them doing very well with this, they’ve put a lot of thought into design and the practicality will appeal to many people. The price of some cars that offer this carrying capacity and versatility is crazy, you’d be very reluctant to put mucky bikes, kids and dogs in the back. Buy the right version of this and you’ve got a new car that meets the needs of a lot of people at a very reasonable price. Very fair and balanced review as always 👍
Thanks 🙏🏻
I think a lot of us are guilty of "brand snobbery" and no doubt the big names are so aware that they know we will pay big prices. Then along comes a vehicle like this and because it hasn't one of the big german badges we probably would turn our heads away. This car looks fantastic and i would have no hesitation having it parked in my driveway and who cares what the neighbours think.
Exactly 👍
I already have a Jogger Extreme so this will be next car in two years time. The only thing I would hope they improve on is the carpets. It's more like fluffy lino and it wears very quickly. But other than that nothing wrong with it. My neighbour has a Kia and he paid £6k more for his. Also the seven seats are useful if you have a big family, but I took mine out and use mine as a van. Also be prepared for "Brand Snobs" who will just turn their noses up at it, until they see what you get for money. What I like in my hybrid is nearly 70mpg and nearly 65-75% in EV mode around London. In fact Dacia short changed themselves on the MPG. One caveat is that I hope they have solved the clutch and gearbox issues that plagued the manual Joggers.
There are good and bad points in all cars but my Jogger is more good than bad. Remember that the chances are it will badged as a Renault in some countries so you will never know the difference!
One thing I hope they don't do is price themselves out of the "budget" market. The reason I chose Dacia was that I bought my car on my debit card on a whim!
I’ve a 2023 Duster 4x4 which I absolutely love. This I think is going to replace it in a year or two as it’s perfect for what I need it for.
Good looking car. Terrible name
Dacia car names end with ‘ster’ and this one is BIG 😂
Oh you Mean like the JOGGER, SANDERO, SPRING, LOGAN
@@PetrolPedlol. Design is awsome
Who cares about the name. If you look at other car brands they have strange model names. 😤😤
@@MRT.1977 tend to agree
I've been waiting ages to see an actual bigster rather than just pictures and I'm well impressed
I was going to post a cheeky comment about the name, but what an excellent vehicle for the money. Love the little practical features.
It'll be interesting to see your driving review in the future.
👍
Mein Gott, I just love Dacia! Manual Transmission, spare tyre ...music to my ears! Best of all, the name is awesome. A proper middle finger to the badge snobs! 😜
There won’t be a spare wheel in UK ones as they aren’t required here.
In France you get a fire extinguisher that’s their mandate.
Something the government could easily add to new car requirements and safer for everybody too.
I didn't realise no spare tyre option is a UK constraint. But the option is there right? Fitting kit will be a standard manufacturer item even if have to buy from Europe somewhere
Sorry guys it was only a general observation. I wasn't expecting the Spanish Inquisition! 😜
Couldn't agree more!
I bought a new Sandero Extreme in March of this year and I am SO impressed with it. Brilliant little car. When it comes time to change it up I will definitely be looking at a Bigster. Dacia dealers are amazing too!
Great to hear!
In an age where the cost of cars has gone through the roof it’s refreshing to see something that is not only good value for money but based on what we already know very capable as well. You can see a lot of thought has gone into this car so bodes well 👍
Indeed 👍
Been watching this model for 3 years can’t wait 💯👍
Such a shame there won't be a plug in version, looks great and brilliant value.
I had no interest whatsoever in Dacia...but I do now! Looking forward to a full test.
They are converting a lot of people 👍
You’ve summed the Bigster up very well indeed Pete! Yet another attractive creation of the Renault Dacia group. Impressive the cars they are currently churning out. Remarkable hard work going on there! As is yours, thank you. Cheers, Tom
Thank you for this, really like the look of this bigster, great first view, thanks again
Hi Pete, that was a very enjoyable review 👍
Thanks 👍
Excellent post Pete. Didn’t know this model was coming and what a vehicle for the money 😁. It’s bound to rattle many other manufacturers for sure. Looking forward to watching your ‘on and off road’ review to see how it is to drive. And personally I like the name, it’s fun 👍
I’m a Škoda man, wish they had used more physical buttons in my mk4 VRS…. Definite step backwards vs the mk3. Well done Dacia for bucking the trend!
Both this and the Duster have such a handsome front!
I was stuck with a basic Vauxhall Nova at work for 6 months many years ago. Not even a bloomin' radio to comfort me during my hour-long drive to jobs. It was literally the reason I left the job. Basic, used to mean soul destroying.
Dacia and Renault really are on a roll with there designs at the moment. Nice looking motor, having just come from a Clio hybrid, that should drive very well and be pretty economical as well. Another great video there mr ped 😊
Good review. We need more cars like this and fewer fridges on wheels!
A great video on a really good looking and practical car. That particular model colour etc and styling like you Ped it ticks an awful lot of boxes. And oh wow a manual!
Glad you liked it!
Great addition to the Dacia family, however I think the marketing team could surely create a more engaging name, I mean is the next model getting the “ Obesester” name tag 😮
Massivester 😂
😂😂😂
🤣🤣🤣👍🏻
Hugester
Brilliant review Pedro. Like you, I love the look of the new Bigster and agree that the toys they have are all you really need for a car. Price point is also a big attraction and I think this new car is a winner.
Great video again Pete. Would now consider getting one but hopefully you will be able to test one out in the near future.
Looks good.
NCAP should take of points for the touch screens that do everything!
I really really like it, design and little well thought out additions are brilliant, fair play Dacia. This is on the list for the future family car.
Glad you like it!
Nice, sensible affordable car. Weldone Dacia. Love your informative car reviews. Keep them coming.👍
I don't care what the price is, this is so much better than a Range Rover or anything over £100k. Its clever, has a manual box, cloth seats and a pano roof. It ticks all my boxes, makes a £150k Lotus SUV look stupid (not hard). I just don't know how any other manufacturer can compete. Just on badge snobbery, that's all. Hope you can get steel wheels like the Duster? Unfortunately it probably has the speed limit warnings and lane change assist that makes any new car unbuyable, unless there is a single button to turn it all off, Oh there is WOW!!!!!! Its game over for every other car, Dacia has listened to REAL people. I would have this over any other new car, anything, its the spiritual successor to my 2005 Subaru Forester I have been waiting for, its what people want. 10/10 Dacia. 10/10 Ped.
That's why they keep the wheels under 215/R17 for lower prices, 110 Euro Micheline tires. I have Micheline Crossclimate2 195/R15 with 65 Euro on my 2009 Van.
There is a single button to turn ADAS off. You weren’t listening closely enough mate 😜😂
@@PetrolPed I was, read again ;-) Cant wait for you to drive it and see if its as desirable on the move.
Dacia are really upping their game and I can see this selling as well as the Duster especially at a sensible price….. think I may have called Rockster rather than Bigster but what do I know??
This car and the new Duster have a design approach that is fresh and dare I say almost desirable. Much better than the bland designs from the likes of VW and co. Good review too, the pace and approach is spot on.
I thought it was going to be a 7 seater. Still a great looking vehicle.
Great looking car!!! Shocking name! Very clever features hopefully the engines are reliable
Never had a dacia or even thought of one but like the new logo etc an this car looks great, would happily have one if these, be great for my camping trips and mountain bike, this is definitely one to keep in mind, cant wait see a driving review soon pete, cheers 👌😁🏴
Really impressed with the styling and thought and maybe a replacement for a Freelander 2. I'm sold. BUT, no ones to churn gears in modern start stop traffic day to day and I tow a caravan and trailer, so the only specification that I cannot find at reasonable cost with at least 1800kg tow capacity is an AUTOMATIC with 4WD and a capable torquey engine of whatever disposition. Shame.
Indeed, Dacia has missed a trick on both this car and the Duster. Why not offer full hybrid AWD, people would pay the extra cost as it would still be cheaper than most competitors.
Nice looking car and seems very practical. I imagine they'll sell shed loads at circa 30k.
Yep 👍
Another proper car so I'll forgive the name.Why aren't LR producing something like this and affordable. Keep them coming.
Hi Ped
First impression a very refreshing approach on the design front, and sensible thought process in spec & trims. It will be very interesting to see if this positivity continues through to a detailed road review. Here’s hoping, and they could well have a success on their hands.😉
Good looking car, definitely worth checking out when they hit the UK
The wheel arch covers remind me of a material made by Bayer in 1980's called Bayflex. Plastic body panels with the paint colour as one, part of the panel.
Looks like this will be a lot of car for the money, and build quality appears to be as good as most of its rivals. Good choice of drivetrains, including manual gearbox being available.
Not a bad looking car.Hopefully you get the chance to drive one soon.
4x4 with wipe clean interior... very much liking that 👍Manual gearbox... not so much... have got very used to autos in recent years 😕
Do you not think real off-road is better in a manual ?
@@silviubuliga6418 It might be, but for me the car would be spending most of its time on tarmac, so I'd prefer auto for daily use.
looks brilliant, who’d have thought a few years ago there would be a Dacia costing over £30k though
Dacia are nailing it at the moment. The warranty extends up to 7 years too, as long as Dacia service it. Around £30k is still a hefty sum, but to put it in context, the entry level list on a Golf is £27.5k........
Love the shape
Got your James May nod. Well done.
Can't wait for the release of the Dacia Smallster City car!
No grab handles above the doors? I assume there was no space left for installation, due to the large glass sunroof. Still, the grab handles are there for a reason! Especially in a SUV with a considerable ride hight such as this one. Nonetheless this car is going to dominate(pricewise) the C segment! Kudos 4 the presentation!!!
Thanks 🙏🏻
It is a good package Peter
It's good that they are producing something which is more affordable. Other vehicle prices have just become astronomical. However, when you look closely at this thing, you can see where it's been done on the cheap. That probably won't bother many people though.
Dacia used to be a basic poor mans car ,but practical and sensible ,this is anyone car hugely sensible and very good looking to ,I personally never considered a dacia before ,thinking of changing our car next year was considering a tuscon or kia but will seriously consider this especially that local dealer is only a few miles away not over 30 miles away for other rivals
I like the James Bond style number plates. Starts off with French ones and somehow they spin round and become German ones. Sear klug! 😜
Frankly, I liked it from the moment I clamped eyes on it. It would have to be the 4x4 for me because I do like to have the opportunity for a bit of adventure when life allows. Currently I have a Fiat Panda Cross 4x4 multijet 95, its lovely in its own way but to be fair I would like a bit more room because an adventure is more than taking a packet of biscuits offroad. 🤣
Good review looks nice inside and out and a sensible price, Renault group are leading the way at the moment with design, features and pricing.
Totally agree
Pity as you had the opportunity to give us a verdict on the quality of the plastics used inside the car....love the look, they are going places in this industry.....
There is lots of plastic but expected at that price point.
Morning Ped, Great review of the vehicle at this time, before you get to drive it and test it properly. Any idea of the towing capacity and if there will be a tow bar option?
Yes it can tow but only 1 tonne with the 155 engine 😬
@@PetrolPed such a shame, that! Almost a potentially great caravan owners car!
Dacia,great Cars for everybody!
Proper car. Well done Dacia
Wow, what a car! Skoda Kodiaq /Hyundai Santa Fe/Kia Sorrento/VW Tiguan Allspace/Seat Tarraco have some serious competition........ One niggle are those "wings" on the rear tailgate when you open it..... mmmmmmm!! Want to get a grinder and cut them off............. ha ha ha ha!!
😂😂😂
@@PetrolPed Any thoughts on getting it as a Hendley long termer in 2025?? Would be great to get your feedback..... just an idea
Great video as usual I’ll be interested to see your driving review as it sounds very underpowered to me..but the battery may make the difference…
Love it! Just hope they add a PHEV in time.
Interesting. After seeing your armed forces charity content a few years ago it certainly opened my eyes to the capabilities of the Duster.
👍
Morning Pete
I'd like to see the new Duster first, launched it ages ago, still can't test drive one!
I do like the Bigster, though
Coming soon!
The Dacia Dusters historic low 3 star NCAP rating is not just down to a seat belt warning sensor. There are more fundamental issues with the cars. We know that, its shown on the NCAP test results that anyone can download. I spent around 40 years in the Motor Industry, working for manufacturers, including Renault. They build lots of 5 star NCAP cars.
NCAP has become a bit of a joke though as some of the drivers aids they insist on are down right dangerous, they don’t seem to care how well/poorly the features are implemented, I’ve had 5 star NCAP cars trying to force me off the road, hammering emergency brakes on for no apparent reason all whilst forcing them selves back on every time the vehicle starts.
@@dk8435I remember how once i had really close call just because car wanted to steer within white lines while the road was under construction but you had to follow the temporary yellow ones. I shouldn't be forcing with the car to stay in the proper lane. Meanwhile on my old car it just rumbles the seat if I go over the line while not adjusting the trajectory. And that's enough for me where it's not making something more dangerous but still alerting me of possibility.
Electric tailgates are a slow nuisance when it’s raining, a manual hatch you can have it opened stuff put in and shut before the power gate has opened. Overall a good looking practical family car at a sensible price.
Thanks Ped, like the more rugged looking Bigster but I’d need an automatic as I no longer possess cartilage in my knees. Let’s see when you get playtime with one….😉
Fair enough!
Great value and sensibly designed car. You wonder how Dacia can sell it for the price. Either other manufacturers have become greedy or Dacia have been very clever utilising the Renault parts bin. In fact I think Renault are now very smart with their platform and component sharing strategy. I was amazed to hear that the forthcoming Alpine A290 shares its rear suspension with the 4x4 Duster. Hopefully Renault have learnt from VW to maintain some separation between their budget and mainstream brands so Dacia will not be moved up market to become as Skoda has to the mainstream Volkswagen brand. I found it interesting on my travels through Asia, South America and Africa earlier this year that Dacia’s all carry the Renault badges in these developing markets.
The price is central to their design philosophy. In fact the very first thing they decide is how much the car will sell for and then work backwards from there 👍
@@PetrolPed I guess all manufacturers claim that they follow the same process but I suspect that the designers and marketeers drag them off course especially with their desire to upsell with options. There is an honestly with Dacia and actually you don’t feel short changed or exploited if the only options are trim packs and a choice of colour. As someone who has always been seduced by tempting options I know that I have often been my own worse enemy. Rationally it is only justifiable if you keep the car a long time so it is easier to sell on when the time comes. It does however annoy me when “essential” equipment is an option - and even worse if it is wrapped up in an expensive pack.
Honest car and great review 👌👌
this is what defender should have been, rugged and affordable
Hello Peter. Yes…a very practical and good value car that does everything that everybody needs and at a good price. If Primark made cars, this would be their volume seller. I’m not sure about the name but it is easily memorable and no worse than the myriad of names conjured up by VW Group…I see a new seven seater VW called the “ Tayron” is mentioned just this morning. This Dacia is going to do very well…I hope the build quality holds up and not being an EV might cause some questions but it is alright….like ham, egg and chips!😬😃😃😃😃Richard
Went to airport in a Dacia jogger ev and thought was a really nice car ❤
Nice looking car with plenty of space. Love the panroof - had one one on a 5008 years ago.
Looking forward to the pricing and warranty info along with your on and off-road reviews.
With a 11 year old Yeti and 7 year old Tiguan, could this be the replacement we'll need soon?
👍
Starts just under 25,000£. The full hybrid will start from 30,000£
Looks good car for family man.
Great review.
Thanks!
The car and the price seem very respectable. Yup, name a bit left field but that aside it’s ok. Will look forward to your on the road review but for value for money. Seems to have it.
Not too sure about the decorative chevrons but the Bigster ticks so many boxes that it doesn't matter, I hope they do it in dark green like the original concept one, and if it comes in under £20,000 as the head of Renault group said it would then it is a guaranteed winner.
As some will have already commented naff name, however I don't dislike it, it's a bit tonka toy but it's by far not the worst looking compact suv and it's good to see it's not another generic bev
You've driven the hybrid Clio, it'll be a little similar maybe a little softer and rolly due to the size and weight.
Looks a nice practical SUV. It does make you wonder if all the toys in modern car are worth it. The only toy in my car that really find useful is the reverse camera. I do like the fact that it has physical buttons for climate control although I surmise it would be the fan speed most people would change mostly
It’s a shame they’ve done the same as with the Duster and not offered a full hybrid AWD or I’d be seriously considering this car.
Good looking car, albeit does look like a lot of other vehicles, so doesn’t stand out.
The bronze accents are a nice touch, although think the wing mirror covers should only be a stripe, not the whole cover, it’s just a bit too much.
All that said, it is very good value and an affordable option for the average family 👍🏻
Fair enough!
I like practicality over style and brand, I have 3 kids and youngest needs car seat ideally in the middle seat, internal minimum width needs to be 133cm (which ruled out all Skodas) and ideally no transmission tunnel protruding into the rear floor area.
I prefer to have a good towing capacity although 1 ton mentioned in other comment is better than most. Wondering what the real world pulling capacity will be like, always used diesel before. Interesting...
Is the boot opening and boot size as big as the Dacia Logan?The addition of the split level boot floor is great.Being fussy-it could do with the rear seat squabs being able to be lifted so that the rear deck goes completely flat like older golf's and polo's used to.Roof bars need to have T track access so that a neater fitment of accessories can be attained. Eg cycle/kayak racks and roof boxes'See Thule.
Having said that,it looks a great car fir the money and Tiguan owners ,and the like,might be swayed.
Gorgeous car
The 4x4 needs an auto box my other thought it’s going to be a bit under powered as it got the smaller dusters engine fitted looks nice
Good looking SUV.
It sure is!
I've got the number B165 TER on my car... Could be sold for the right price 🤔😎
I might upset some people but could this be the Range Rover for sensible people? The design is not bad at all, especially the front!
Indeed 👍
Great first impressions but.... Does it not come with 7 seats? I read that it was going to a few months back
So did I, no mention it it in any reviews, just a bigger duster... 😢
No, 7 seats only on jogger
Not that I’m aware of 👎
That rear middle arm rest, call me old fashioned but I like my cup holders to not be on the wonk.
Shaken not stirred
