Compare the Skoda Kodiaq vs Dacia Bigster
AI generated from our expert reviews
The Skoda Kodiaq can have a third row of seats while the Dacia Bigster cannot, and the Kodiaq can also tow more. Both cars offer light steering, and both retain physical switchgear inside. Where they differ is refinement and cabin materials. Up front in the Kodiaq, everything you interact with feels nice and plush, and it is only lower down on the dashboard that you notice the occasional hard, scratchy plastic. By contrast, the Bigster uses uniformly hard, scratchy plastic. At a cruise, wind and road noise are well-contained in the Kodiaq, whereas you notice that the Bigster is noisier, mostly in terms of wind noise.
