The Dacia Bigster 1.8 Hybrid 155 Journey Auto stands out if you want big SUV space and strong value for money. As one of Dacia’s largest models, it gives generous interior room for passengers and luggage (with up to around 677 L boot space) and makes family trips or daily errands easier thanks to clever storage and comfortable seating. Journey trim adds useful everyday kit like 10.1? touchscreen with connected navigation, adaptive cruise control, dual-zone climate control, heated front seats and wireless phone charging — impressive for its price point. Under the bonnet, the 1.8 Hybrid 155 powertrain combines a 1.8-litre petrol engine with an electric motor and automatic gearbox to deliver around 155 hp with smooth driving and decent economy (up to about 58 mpg WLTP). The hybrid system is capable of running on electric power in urban conditions for much of the time, helping to reduce fuel use and emissions without needing to plug in. This makes everyday driving both efficient and relaxed, while the automatic transmission adds convenience especially in traffic. On top of that, the Bigster keeps running costs and purchase price lower than many rivals in the mid-size SUV class, often undercutting models like the Nissan Qashqai and Hyundai Tucson by a significant margin while still offering modern features and safety tech such as autonomous emergency braking, lane-keep assist and traffic sign recognition. If you prioritise practicality, space, strong value and hybrid efficiency in a family SUV rather than premium luxury, the Bigster is a sensible and affordable option.
