Dacia Bigster
VS
Put the ever-reliable Toyota RAV4 next to the newcomer Dacia Bigster and you get two sensible SUVs with very different appeals: the RAV4 delivers years of refinement, hybrid efficiency and a quietly premium cabin, while the Bigster trades polish for cavernous space and a wallet-friendly price. If you value low running costs, strong resale and fuss-free ownership, the RAV4 is the safe, sensible pick; if you need room for family, kit and a tight budget, the Bigster is a clever, no-nonsense bargain. Both will get you where you need to go — one with quiet confidence, the other with bold value and a grin.
