AI generated from our expert reviews

Drivers of all shapes and sizes can get comfortable behind the wheel of both the Dacia Bigster and the Toyota Yaris Cross. If you need maximum luggage space, the longer Bigster gives you a bigger boot as well as more room with the back seats folded. It is also simpler for carrying little ones, as wide-opening doors leave loads of space for a bulky rear-facing chair. In contrast, the rear doors on the Yaris Cross do not open very wide, which makes installing a child seat a bit of a faff.
