The Bigster marks Dacia’s entry into the C-segment, but the SUV will not be the only model in this category. In fact, the Romanian brand has long announced the arrival of another car of a similar size to be even more competitive. Expected between 2025 and 2026, the aim of this Dacia, whose name is as yet unknown, will be to challenge the likes of the Volkswagen Golf and Opel-Vauxhall Astra head-on, aiming as always for rather affordable prices. 

Elegant and spacious

Our rendering tries to imagine the shape of this new Dacia, whose dimensions should be somewhere between the Duster and the Bigster, with a length of around 4.45 metres. By the brand’s own admission, this will not be a crossover or SUV, but a compact model with traditional proportions based on the CMF-B platform.

A sort of ‘Sandero XL’ to simplify the concept as much as possible, with an overall style close to the brand’s most recent models. This is why we should see the slim grille with Y-shaped headlights and square lines in all corners of the body. The emphasis will be on livability, with the Dacia able to seat four people comfortably, while on-board technology is expected to be carried over from the Bigster.

Light hybrid (LPG) and full hybrid

The engines could also be shared with the Bigster. These include a mild hybrid petrol engine and a mild hybrid petrol/LPG engine, as well as two 140 and 155 PS full hybrid versions with automatic transmission.

These engines could guarantee even better fuel consumption than the Bigster, thanks to the new model’s smaller dimensions and fundamentally improved aerodynamics. For the moment, there are no plans for an electric version. 

As for prices, they may start at around €25,000 (approx. £21,000), just below those of the Bigster. For more information, however, we’re waiting to hear directly from Dacia.
