They say that a crisis arises an opportunity. Beyond the optimistic messages that the Marketing team of Mr. Wonderful would sign, it is true that we are all good to stop for a moment and know what we are doing with our life and what direction we want to take in the future. Dacia is at that point. Threatened in the low range By cars of a thousand screens, higher ranges materials and a quality perception above what has been expected, the company has been trying to try reposition your product. This Dacia Bigster is probably his most ambitious proposal in recent years. Here we have tried it in hybrid format. DACIA BIGSTER TECHNICAL SHEET Dacia Bigster Hybrid 155 Body type. C-SUV of five seats. Measures and weight. 4.57 meters long, 1.81 meters wide and 1.71 meters high. 2.70 meters of wheelbase. 1,549 kg of weight. TRUNK. 667 liters. Maximum power. 155 hp.

How to get out of an existential crisis Good for Union Europe regulations Or because of the arrival of Chinese manufacturers who are putting cars at very affordable prices, Dacia has been launching the message that they cannot remain in the niche market in which they so far lived. Your cars They are not the cheapest. And, they assure, They cannot be. To convince it only remains to be the leaders for the price to be the leaders in the quality/price ratio. That is, try to give more than anyone for the minimum possible price. The big problem is that Chinese manufacturers seem to have understood that this must also be their message. Who goes to an Omoda or Jaecoo dealership will meet medium -sized SUV with interiors that surprise their padded, for their huge screens and adjustments that, first, give good impression. In general, the perceived quality is very good For the price they have. None of this you will find in a Dacia car. But you will find many other things that are more important than a thousand screens. A better dynamic and, above all, an engine (in this hybrid case) that yields especially well and that predisposes us to think that we can save a lot of money in the long term. A hybrid that fights artifice games Because, indeed, when you feel at Dacia Bigster you check that you don’t have the Little luxuries They are offering Chinese manufacturers. The central console, the dashboard, the doors … everything is covered with hard plastics that, yes, are well adjusted. The proposal is clear. Dacia tries to offer cheaper materials but that should endure the passage of time. And, sometimes, a hard resistant plastic is better than better apparent quality materials that can suffer worse the passage of time. Of course, if we talk about Chinese brands we cannot advance this or for good or for worse because, simply, they do not have been between us so much time. Here, time will opt for the balance. To improve that quality perception, Dacia does raise the level with a steering wheel that feels firm and slightly padded. In addition, he flees from any game that can give him problems and opt for physical buttons that simply seem to me a more accurate decision than any type of touch panel, carry this or not haptic response. The two screens game is compliant. The instrument picture reads very well and offer three configurable spaces. The information is well distributed, read to the first view and there are numerous interchangeable data in the extreme right to have everything under control. The central screen is 10.1 inches. A correct size. It is not big but either is small to navigate the menus. The disposition is what we would see in a Renault, built on Android Automotive So it is fast and easy to find any option sought. The browsing drinks, therefore, from Google Maps. A browser that takes time to refresh the information more than it should. Sometimes you can doubt and whether we are taking the right out of the roundabout if we are a little clueless. It seems curious to me, however, because navigation between the menus of the infotainment system is agile and has not given us any problem by changing between functions. The rear camera has a quality … well, very improvable Of course, the rear camera screen has very low resolution and help little when maneuvering. It is no accident. From Dacia herself they already launched the message that this and the rest of ADAS AID TO DRIVING That they must mount by obligation of the European Union is exactly because they are an obligation. In motion, the Adaptive Cruise Control I sin sometimes braking applying too much force. On the contrary, acceleration is softer and does not present those problems. The maintenance in the lane works, in general, well. If you are looking for the tickles, it can have a problem (a curve at a relatively high speed on a secondary road) but it is not where it is assumed that this function will be used. We arrive, now, at the best of the car. It seems dynamically that it is slightly below a Dacia Duster and that the excess of size and weight penalizes you a bit when maintaining a path. The address feels a bit soft and I think it would be better to be a bit more direct. Problems that are more evident on … Read more

“Are you still deserving a gasoline car or do I buy a hybrid?” “Electric? No, man, if I do a lot of kilometers on the highway, if I spend the day going down to Cádiz and I can make 25,000 kilometers a year easy” “Diesel? What do you say, man … how am I going to buy a diesel at this point …” “Isn’t it bad option?” This conversation is the one I have had multiple occasions with people looking for a car. People who barely step on the city and move along high -speed roads, either in their day to day or with long trips on weekends that make him go to more than 20,000 kilometers a year. I will tell you a secret, There is a car for you. If you are this driver profile. If the electric car is horrified. If you like diesel touch and its huge pair. Mazda has developed the engine that every diesel car lover can desire. It’s big, it’s delicious. And it is an endangered species.

For price, materials and finishes, we are not talking about a general company.

Of course, it is not as effective as the latter. His designs are more sober but also elegant. They are simple but what they propose do so topped. Added to their countercultural decisionswe will all agree that it is a company that makes different things. “We want to be the first brand Premium No European, ”they tell us. The challenge, therefore, is to overcome Lexus who also has a magnificent finishes and also bets on the simple and sober before the German artifice games. Playing above is his great challenge. What does play in favor of Mazda is that he does what nobody does. It is the company that made the rotary engine its saint and sign, which has rescued it for an extended range electric And that does not rule out Repeat formula With a Purely sports model. It is the company of Mazda MX-5, a car that It has no market competition. The brand of manual exchange boxes and Small screens that are better not to touch. And it is one of the few companies that bet on the countercurrent in their mechanics.

But I have the sensation (we could not try this same engine in the CX-80, since in that case we opted for the plug-in hybrid mechanics) that it is in the CX-60, more content in size and weight where the engine yields to its maximum.

Cupra is not the end of Seat. Cupra gives Seat a future and the future is electric. THE FUTURE IS CUPRA We can set on March 23, 2022 as the day Seat confessed. He did it through his CEO, Wayne Griffiths. That day The statements were pronounced that are on these lines in an event before the press. We didn’t know it yet but it was the first stone of everything that would come later. Almost three years later, we have climbed into Cupra Tavascanthe great electric car of the brand. The one with whom they want to certify what is coupra and where the company walks. What they want to convey with those five letters that have ended up taking their own shape and an important role within the Volkswagen group itself.

An aspirational car with the feet on the ground “We know how the electric car market is in Spain, we know that the Cupra Tavascan will not be a car with great volumes but it does help us to demonstrate what Cupra is and where we want to go. It is a car that serves us to project and leave Of course you can expect the brand in the future. “ With these words, those responsible for Cupra explained their illusion with the Cupra Tavascan. We talked about how interesting the car seemed to me, of the risky of the proposal and the originality of it, not so easy to find in the market right now. Cupra risk and cupra, for my liking, wins. It makes sense to have put all the meat on the grill with this electric car. Right now, the brand has the Ateca and León coupra as reminiscences of its past. On the way they have added the CUPRA BORN Like its first electric car, the Terramar Cupraas a SUV option for those who do not dare to make the leap to this technology, the Formentor Cupralike the great supervants, and now the cupra tavascan as the great car of its offer. The latter in an electric SUV of 4.64 meters with a Coupé fall and very aggressive appearance in its body, especially in the front. The car shares origin with Volkswagen ID.5 either Skoda Enyaq Coupé But the first impression seen from the outside is that the car has personality, like more or like less. Those same sensations are transmitted to the interior. The dashboard plays with the shapes and is Absolutely dominated by a central column that leaves from the bottom of the screen and in which the button has been arranged Warning. This arrangement creates a kind of triangle that builds the entire central structure under which the wireless load for the mobile phone and two USB-C shots is located. The design helps to separate the spaces of driver and co -driver, giving some sports air that is reaffirmed with copper moldings, the drilled upholstery of the doors with those same small triangles and a steering wheel that leaves two physical buttons to change to change the driving modes. Behind, cams manage energy recovery. It is here where, without a doubt, we have the worst inside. The steering wheel buttons are tactile that we have already seen in other Volkswagen models and that have a haptic response. However, they are not precise, we can unintentionally activate them by maneuvering with the steering wheel and force them to deviate their gaze when we want to select the specific functions. On the left, we have the tactile light selector (which is also not seen with the naked eye from the driver’s position) and the two physical controls for the control of the four windows (skip from one to another activating and deactivating a button that … Indeed, it is tactile). The touch buttons for the lights and controls of the windows come back Ahead, the 5.3 -inch screen remains that detracts from the rest of the cabin. As in Volkswagen’s models, it gives a worse impression because it is not sheltered (as in the Skoda Elroq) and that feeling of going “in the air” increases the difference in size with the huge 15 -inch panel that it has to the right. The head-up Display is good and reads correctly, as in the rest of the German group models. It is worth noting the good work with the central screen. Again, we lack physical buttons to control functions as simple … Read more
