Dacia Retail Group is delighted to celebrate another amazing achievement for Dacia, the Bigster has been crowned Family Car of the Year at The News UK Motor Awards 2025. Discover why this spacious, family-friendly SUV is already turning heads.
Judged by motoring experts from The Times, The Sunday Times and The Sun, this latest award recognises everything that makes the Bigster such a standout choice for families. It's effective use of space, robust SUV design, everyday comfort and, of course, the unmistakeable Dacia value.
This award marks the fourth consecutive victory for Dacia at the annual awards, following success for the Duster (2024), Spring (2023) and Jogger (2022). With the Bigster, Dacia has again proved that practical, affordable cars can still be stylish, fun to drive and comfortable.
Launched in the UK just eight months ago, the Dacia Bigster has already won over countless drivers. Families love its combination of space, flexibility and value, whether tackling the school run, weekend getaways, or the daily commute.
Will Dron, Digital Driving Editor at The Times and The Sunday Times summed it up perfectly:
"The Bigster delivers more space than the excellent Duster, with a huge boot for its class, along with the affordability for which the brand is famous. But what nobody saw coming was for the Bigster to be so comfortable, high tech and good to drive. For us, it absolutely deserves the title of Family Car of the Year."
That balance of practicality and comfort is exactly why the Bigster is already making its mark as one of the UK’s most desirable family SUVs.
The Bigster's win continues Dacia's incredible run at The News UK Motor Awards four straight years of recognition from some of Britain's most trusted motoring journalists.
Over the past few years, Dacia has built a reputation for delivering what drivers really want:
Each model has brought something fresh to the range, and the Bigster is the next big step literally. It’s Dacia’s largest SUV to date, designed for growing families who need that little bit more from their car.
Starting from £25,215 on the road, the Dacia Bigster offers impressive value for a car of its size and capability.
Buyers can choose from three trims Expression, Journey and Extreme and from a range of mild-hybrid, full hybrid, and 4x4 powertrains. This flexibility means there’s a Bigster to suit every lifestyle, from city driving to countryside adventures.
Inside, it’s easy to see why the judges were impressed. With a 10.1-inch central touchscreen, dual-zone automatic climate control, keyless entry, and multiview parking camera, it blends rugged practicality with a surprisingly premium feel.
The clever details continue throughout, from YouClip® attachment points and easy-fold rear seats, to the washable MicroCloud TEP upholstery on Extreme models.
As Luke Broad, Dacia Brand Director for the UK, explains:
“Bigster has struck a real chord with British families since it arrived just a few months ago. They tell us they love the space, the flexibility, the comfort and the robust SUV style, all at a price that makes sense. To now see Bigster recognised as ‘Family Car of the Year’ by such respected motoring experts is hugely rewarding and proves that Dacia continues to deliver exactly what families are looking for.”
The Dacia Bigster’s success isn’t just about awards — it’s about delivering real-world value for real-world families. At Dacia Retail Group, we're proud to represent Dacia's award winning range and to offer customers exclusive Bigster finance options designed to make ownership even easier.
