Dacia Pickup Plans Expand Beyond Controversial Model, Focus Shifts to Bigster/Niagara
Recent images surfacing online suggest Dacia is moving beyond the recently critiqued Duster Pickup, focusing progress on a larger, more significant pickup truck anticipated to be the Bigster/Niagara model. The “Dacia Duster Trails & Technical” Facebook group, known for inside information regarding the Dacia plant, published photos showing both the existing double-cabin Duster Pickup undergoing impact testing and images of a future pickup with a 1.65-meter bed. This indicates the initial Duster-based pickup may not be the long-term strategy, but rather a stepping stone to a dedicated, purpose-built model.
The shift in focus comes as Dacia navigates consumer reaction to the initial pickup offering,which faced criticism for being a conversion rather than a ground-up design. The forthcoming Bigster/niagara pickup promises a more extensive approach, perhaps addressing concerns about functionality and robustness. This development impacts potential buyers seeking a versatile and durable vehicle, as well as competitors in the affordable pickup truck segment. The future of Dacia’s commercial vehicle lineup hinges on successfully delivering a pickup that meets market demands and establishes a strong presence in a competitive landscape.
according to Dacia Duster Trails & Technical, the future pickup will “not be a conversion.”
