Dacia hybrid technology

Get the best of both worlds without changing your habits!

The different Dacia hybrid powertrains

Hybrids combine a conventional petrol engine with an electric motor that serves multiple functions.
Full hybrid technology - Dacia Bigster
Hybrid 155 Full Hybrid technology
Composition
1 combustion engine
Clutchless multimode automatic gearbox
1 self-charging 280V traction battery 

Charging the battery
No need to plug in, the battery charges itself as you drive using the energy recovered during braking and deceleration.
How it works
The electric motor allows electric driving for brief periods, and provides a power boost to the internal combustion engine the rest of the time. It also converts the recovered energy into electricity to charge the traction battery. 

The multi-mode gearbox automatically switches between 3 driving modes:
  • electric
  • electric + combustion-powered 
  • 100% combustion-powered.
    Advantages
    • Systematic 100% electric vehicle start-ups.
    • Up to 40%* less fuel consumption and CO2 emissions than an equivalent petrol engine.
    • 80%** of all-electric city driving time
      * In urban consumption cycle** Based on internal tests using the urban phase (low) of the WLTC (Worldwide Harmonized Light Vehicles Test Cycle). % of driving time may vary depending on the actual driving conditions (road type, driving style, and weather conditions).
      TCe 140 Mild-hybrid technology
      Composition
      1 combustion engine
      1 starter-alternator
      1 self-charging 48V battery for on-the-road use

      Charging the battery
      No need to plug in, the battery charges as you drive using the energy recovered during braking and deceleration.
      Mild hybrid technology - Dacia Bigster
      How it works
      The internal combustion engine gets extra torque from the starter-generator when driving is most energy-intensive, such as starts or accelerations.
      It also helps charge the 48 V traction battery.
        Advantages
        Up to 10% less fuel consumption than an equivalent petrol engine.
        Mild hybrid technology - Dacia Bigster
        TCe 130 4x4 Mild Hybrid technology
        Composition
        1 combustion engine
        1 starter-alternator
        1 self-charging battery
        1 rear-wheel drive shaft

        Charging the battery
        No need to plug in, the battery charges as you drive using the energy recovered during braking and deceleration.
        How it works
        The internal combustion engine gets extra torque from the starter-generator when driving is most energy intensive, such as starts or accelerations.It also helps charge the 48 V traction battery. 

        The 4X4 Terrain Control offers 5 driving modes:
        • Auto
        • Snow
        • Mud/Sand
        • Off-road
        • Eco
            Advantages
            Reduce your fuel consumption and your CO2 emissions by up to 10% compared to an equivalent petrol engine.

            Do you have any more questions?

            How long does a Dacia hybrid system battery last?
            The traction battery of your Bigster hybrid system is guaranteed for 8 years or 160,000km.
            Can Dacia hybrid cars travel long distances?
            Yes. Depending on use, the driving range of a hybrid vehicle is greater than that of a combustion-powered or electric car, since you can alternate between multiple energy sources. 

            With the TCe 140 engine, the Bigster range is over 780km, over 900km with the Hybrid 155.
            What is the Bigster mild-hybrid powertrain?
            It is a mild hybrid system that supports the combustion engine during start-up and acceleration phases, reducing fuel consumption and enhancing performance. It does not allow for 100% electric driving.
            It therefore offers more flexible and dynamic driving while providing fuel savings compared with an equivalent non-electrified petrol engine.
            How do you charge the battery in Dacia hybrid cars?
            It’s so easy! With hybrid vehicle batteries (full or mild hybrid), you don’t need any special connectors. They recharge automatically as you drive when the vehicle brakes or decelerates.
