DACIA TAKES AIM AT KODIAQ WITH ALL-NEW X-TRAIL BASED BIGSTER
We’ll be bringing you a first UK drive of the all-new Dacia Duster in next month’s issue of Overlander 4x4. But even as initial supplies are starting to arrive in the company’s showrooms, Dacia will be turning its attention to another all-new SUV. And if you thought Duster was kind of a peculiar name for a car, get yourself ready for the Bigster.
It may sound like a porn star from a Borat movie, but the Bigster is Dacia making a bold move into the C-SUV segment with a vehicle based on the altogether brilliant Nissan X-Trail. A size up from its high-selling stablemate, it leads with bold styling, interior space and ‘real off-road capability.’
The power train options include three different petrol hybrids. Among these, the Hybrid 155 can operate in all-electric mode in up to 80% of city driving, while the TCe 140 combines a Miller cycle three-pot with a 48V mild hybrid system and manual box to improve efficiency by around 10%.
