Dacia Bigster disappointed in the crash test: only three stars for security!

The Dacia Bigster, a new SUV by the Renault subsidiary Dacia, received only three out of five possible stars at the Euro NCAP crash test, which is certainly an alarming assessment for a family. This could affect the market launch of the vehicle, which is planned for May 2025. The vehicle is positioned as family -friendly, modern and affordable, but the evaluation in terms of security brings with it considerable concerns.

The security assessment resulted in essential weaknesses, especially when it comes to safety in the event of an overlapping frontal crash. This shows an increased risk of injury for the driver in the chest area. The interaction between occupants in the side impact was also classified as dangerous. The fact that the Dacia Bigster received zero points in the protection of other road users, for example in Dooring accidents, received zero points in the Dacia Bigster. The overall ranking is made up of various aspects: adults pass through only 69% protection, while children reach 85%. The total number of points is 27.7 points for adults and 42 points for child safety, which is significantly below average.

comparison to competitors

The entry price of the Dacia Bigster is 23,990 euros. In comparison, a VW Tiguan costs around 15,000 euros more and achieved the top rating of five stars in the Euro NCAP crash test. This price difference could make potential buyers a difficult choice, since the bigster offers a good space and a modern design, but is significantly behind more expensive competitors in the security assessment.

The Euro NCAP tests also include an evaluation of the security assistance systems. The Dacia Bigster has only achieved 57% in this category, since only the legally required systems are installed. However, the autonomous emergency brake system reacted appropriately to other vehicles, even if inadequate to pedestrians and cyclists, especially with regard to "Dooring" accidents.

general security of vehicles

A total of 38 models were tested in 2024 by Euro NCAP. In the first places there are numerous high -class vehicles such as the Audi A5 PHEV (2024), Audi Q5, VW Tayron and others who received all five stars. In the lower category, with only three stars, the Dacia Bigster stands in a critical point, which the ADAC also indicates. The ratings based on the Euro NCAP are important for consumers, since security should come first, especially in relation to the "Vision Zero", the long -term goal of reaching zero traffic boards in Europe.

The safety of vehicles is regularly checked by the Euro NCAP and other institutions, with the focus on increasing security for occupants and road users. At the same time, it is important to improve the safety equipment even in cheaper models, so that all drivers and passengers can enjoy adequate protection.
