Priced from €24,990 (approximately $27,000 USD), this model offers a compelling option for budget-conscious consumers seeking efficiency and versatility in the competitive C-SUV segment.
Powertrain and Performance
The Dacia Bigster Mild Hybrid G-140 is powered by a 1.2-liter three-cylinder turbocharged engine, delivering 140 horsepower and 230 Nm of torque. This engine is supported by a 48V mild hybrid system, enhancing fuel efficiency and reducing emissions. The vehicle can operate on both petrol and LPG, thanks to dual fuel tanks (50 liters each), providing a combined range of up to 1,450 km. The LPG option results in approximately 10% lower CO₂ emissions compared to a standard petrol engine.

- Length: 4,570 mm
- Width: 1,812 mm
- Height: 1,662 mm
- Wheelbase: 2,700 mm
It offers a spacious interior with boot capacity ranging from 614 to 1,937 liters, depending on seat configuration. The LPG tank is installed under the boot floor, so cargo space remains unaffected.
