Bigster a winner in the SUV name game

Impressive Dacia defines affordable family vehicle, writes Tom Sharpe
-
When the need arose for a big family car to facilitate a week away in North Yorkshire, Dacia's Bigster stood out as a top choice.
As the name suggests, the budget-conscious brand's latest addition is essentially an extended version of its impressive Duster SUV, serving up 677-litres of boot space - an extra 232 litres.
And, with a plugless petrol mild hybrid powertrain claiming 58mpg fuel economy I would not be troubled by the Dales' scarcity of charging points...or filling stations.
Dacia has focussed on the essentials in creating a C-segment offering with class-leading boot space and the likes of Kia's Sportage, Skoda's Karoq and the Volkswagen Tiguan are well in its sights.
