A modular squiq system transforms the Dacia Bigster SUV into a camper without permanent modifications. The setup features a slide-out platform with a 160 kg load capacity and removable kitchen modules made from waterproof plywood. It attaches via straps to existing cargo points and is fully removable, allowing the vehicle to remain a daily driver.

Pricing starts at 349 euros, with first deliveries scheduled for March 2026.
