AI generated from our expert reviews

The Dacia Bigster is longer than the Dacia Duster, offering a bigger boot and more space when you fold the back seats down. From behind the wheel, the Bigster gives you great visibility thanks to big windows all round, whereas visibility in the Duster is not the best. Once you are up to speed, both cars feel stable on the road. When cornering, neither car has front seats that particularly hold you in place or give you much support, though the seats in both models are comfortable. Inside the cabins, both are dominated by hard plastics that lack a feel of luxury.
