Green NCAP comments
Compared to conventional vehicles, which are only evaluated in the 'Consumption and Range' section, the Driving Experience assessment of full hybrid vehicles also includes the 'Cold Winter Performance' Category.
Compared to conventional vehicles, which are only evaluated in the 'Consumption and Range' section, the Driving Experience assessment of full hybrid vehicles also includes the 'Cold Winter Performance' Category.
- The real-world consumption estimations place the expected Bigster performance generally in the 'good' range for warm weather trips and in 'adequate' for cold winter drives. The car is equipped with a PTC heater, but as heating in cold weather can require additional power, the combustion engine might need to be switched on in phases where it would usually be inactive and thus the consumption figures in cold weather increase.
- The cabin heat supply of a combustion engine vehicle is much slower compared to an electric vehicle, but the Bigster is additionally equipped with an electric heater, which should have helped reach comfortable temperatures quickly. However, the heating up remains slow and overall performance is evaluated as poor. The thermal insulation of the cabin is adequate so once the desired cabin temperature is reached it should be maintained more easily.

Our verdict
Tested here is Dacia's new large SUV – the Bigster, in its full hybrid version. Despite its name, the vehicle is surprisingly light and puts only 1,436 kg on the scale. Its operating strategy makes good use of the 280 V electric system, resulting in creditable consumption values. The hybrid Bigster surprises with a high rating score, achieved through robust emissions control, an efficient powertrain and reduced resources usage.
