Dacia Bigster, these are its strongest rivals

The Dacia Bigster is a low-cost seven-seat SUV that Dacia plans to launch shortly. It is compact, can carry seven passengers and comes at a very affordable price. It will sit above the Dacia Duster and will allow the manufacturer to renew its range, currently headed by the Dacia Lodgy.

A model with these characteristics has rivals, and many of them should be worried by the arrival of this new large SUV. At present the Dacia Bigster has three major rivals, although it may reach dealerships in about two years. These are the rivals of the Dacia Bigster:

Mahindra XUV500

The Mahindra XUV500 is one of the great rivals of the Dacia Bigster. This seven-seat SUV of Indian origin, with an affordable price, is probably the most direct rival of the new Dacia Bigster. The Mahindra features a new design that has been noticeably improved, and buyers can opt for all-wheel drive. It is powered by a 2.2-litre diesel engine producing 140 CV, mated to a six-speed manual gearbox.

SsangYong Rexton

The SsangYong Rexton is one of those SUVs that already has a certain track record on the market. This Korean model is a good choice for drivers looking for a seven-seat SUV at a good price. Its interior roominess and finish are among its strong points. It has a starting price close to 27,000 euros, so it could become a rival to the Dacia Bigster.

Peugeot 5008

The Peugeot 5008 could not be missing from the selection of the best rivals of the Dacia Bigster. If you are looking for a large SUV with plenty of quality, efficiency and an captivating design, the large SUV from the lion brand is one of the best options. It offers generous standard equipment at a price starting near 29,800 euros. This seven-passenger SUV offers quality, technology and a wide range of engines to choose from. The best known are the 130 and 180 CV petrol engines. Do you already know which one you would choose? The truth is that the decision is very, very difficult. We will have to wait for the launch of the new Dacia Bigster to test it and draw better conclusions.
