Compare the Dacia Bigster vs MG ZS
AI generated from our expert reviews
If carrying capacity is your priority, the Dacia Bigster holds clear advantages over the MG ZS. The Bigster has a bigger boot, offers more room with the back seats folded, and can tow heavier loads. Inside, both cars accommodate rear passengers well, leaving room to spare for a six-foot adult to sit behind another, with space under the front seats to slide your feet. Fitting a bulky rear-facing child seat is also easy in either model thanks to wide-opening doors. Out on the road, both cars have steering that delivers little feedback about what the front wheels are doing, meaning you will not find either particularly satisfying to drive quickly. Your decision centres on whether you need the Bigster's extra luggage and towing muscle.
