The first-generation Logan was designed at Renault's Technocentre near Paris, being the result of four years of development of the X90 project, announced by Renault in 1999, after the purchase of Dacia in the same year.[11]

During a visit to Russia by French President Jacques Chirac, Louis Schweitzer noted that at Lada and Renault dealerships the €6,000 Ladas were selling very well while the €12,000 Renaults stayed in the showroom. "Seeing those antiquated cars, I found it unacceptable that technical progress should stop you making a good car for €6,000." (He later revised this target to €5,000). "I also drew up a list of specifications in three words – modern, reliable and affordable – and added that everything else was negotiable."[citation needed] The cheapest version of the car is €5,900, and the price can reach €11,200, depending on equipment and customs duty. (The base model for Western Europe, where it is badged as a Dacia but generally sold in Renault dealerships, is somewhat more expensive).

The Logan was designed from the outset as an affordable car, and has many simplified features to keep costs down. It replaces many older cars in production, including the Romanian Dacia 1310 series of Renault 12-based cars.

It was officially launched in June 2004,[12] and began marketing in September 2004.[13] Renault originally had no plans to sell the Logan in Western Europe, but in June 2005, began importing a more expensive version of the car, starting at around €7,500.[14] It was an unexpected success with people wanting an inexpensive, no-frills car they could repair themselves.[citation needed]

Facelift

On 1 July 2008, almost four years after the release of the first Logan, a facelifted version called the Dacia New Logan was announced.[15] The new version features a more modern design and a more attractive and more comfortable interior.[16] This facelift was adopted on the station wagon in October the same year.[17]

Features

The Logan is based on the Dacia B0 platform, also used for other Renault and Nissan models.[18] It has 50% fewer parts than a high-end Renault vehicle and has a limited number of electronic devices. This makes the car cheaper to produce and easier and cheaper to repair.

Some parts are also much simpler than those of its competitors. For example, rear-view mirrors are symmetrical and can be used on either side of the car, the windshield is flatter than usual, and the dashboard is a single injection-molded piece.

The developers have taken into account several differences between road and climate conditions in developed and developing countries. The Logan suspension is soft and strong, and the chassis sits visibly higher than most other compact cars to help it negotiate dirt roads and potholes on ill-maintained asphalt roads. The engine is specially prepared to handle lower quality fuel, whereas the air conditioning is powerful enough to lower the temperature several degrees (temperatures above 40 °C are common in the Middle East and the Mediterranean Sea).

Trim levels

In Romania, it was initially available in four trim levels: Ambiance, Preference, Laureate and Ambition. The basic trim level, Ambiance, featured a driver airbag, optional body-coloured bumpers, wheel trims and electric door locks. The second trim level, Preference, added a passenger airbag, power steering, electric front windows, a radio, two rear seat head restraints and remote locking. The third trim level, Laureate, added front fog lights, air conditioning, a trip computer, electric mirrors, three rear seat head restraints and a multi-adjustable driver seat.[19] The top trim level, Ambition also had ABS, electric rear windows, a CD player and alloy wheels. The 1.6-litre petrol engine was only available starting with the Preference trim level.[20] In September 2005, the 1.5-litre diesel engine was introduced,[21] initially not being available on the Ambition trim level. In January 2006, a new intermediate trim level called Laureate Plus was added, which in addition to the Laureate trim level featured ABS, electric rear windows and a CD player. Also, the diesel engine became available for the Ambition trim level.[22]

In September 2006, several improvements were introduced to the range, such as a new button for the trunk lid, a new knob for the gear lever, crystal rear lamps, as well as new designs for the wheel trims and the alloy wheels in addition to three new paint colours.[23] Also, the new top of the range level Prestige was introduced, which featured larger door mirrors, body-coloured bumpers (entirely), side moldings and door handles, leather-trimmed gear lever and steering wheel, as well as other interior refinements. It was only available with a new 1.6-litre 16-valve petrol engine, which developed 105 hp (77 kW).[24]

In July 2007, a more powerful version of the 1.5-litre diesel engine was added, developing 85 hp (63 kW). It was initially made available only for the station wagon, on the Preference and Laureate levels,[25] and in September 2007, it also became available for the sedan version, on the Laureate, Ambition and Prestige levels.[26]

In June 2009, the new 1.2-litre 16-valve petrol engine was added for both the Logan and the Sandero. The engine was capable of developing a maximum power of 75 hp (55 kW) and 107 N⋅m (79 lb⋅ft) of torque.[27]

Safety

In June 2005, the car achieved a three-star rating at the Euro NCAP crash tests.[28] This result confirms initial expectations stated previously by Renault.

Depending on the equipment level, standard on some variants and optional on others, the facelifted Logan comes with driver, passenger and side airbags.[29] In terms of active safety, all versions feature the latest generation Bosch 8.1 ABS, which incorporates EBD (electronic brakeforce distribution) and EBA (emergency brake assist).

Engines

When the Logan appeared, all engines complied to the Euro 3 standard and since January 2007, all engines have complied with the Euro 4 standard, including the diesel engine, whose power has increased to 70 hp.

Marketing and production

Renault Logan assembled by Avtoframos (Russia)

The Logan, vital to increasing sales of the Renault group to the 4 million mark by 2010, is manufactured in nine production and operational assembly centres: Romania (Automobile Dacia), the pilot plant of the Logan Programme, Russia (Avtoframos), Morocco (Somaca), Colombia (Sofasa), Iran (two assembly plants, Renault-Pars), India (Mahindra), Brazil (Renault),[32] and South Africa (Nissan South Africa).[7] The CKD centre is named the International Logistics Network and is located near the Mioveni plant in Romania. It is the biggest logistic centre of its kind, not only within the Renault Group but in the entire global automotive industry.[11]

Dacia models

In markets where Renault has a presence, such as Europe (Russia excepted), Turkey, the Maghreb, and Chile, it is generally sold as the Dacia Logan.[33]

Renault & Nissan models

Exceptions are South Africa, Argentina, Russia, Ukraine,[nb 4] Colombia, Ecuador, Israel, Egypt, Brazil, Chile, Peru, Saudi Arabia, India, Nepal and Venezuela where it is marketed as the Renault Logan, and furthermore Mexico, where the Logan was sold as the Nissan Aprio, given the better reputation of the Japanese brand and stronger brand recognition of Nissan itself in the Mexican market.[nb 5] The Nissan Aprio has the 1.6-litre 16 valve inline-four engine with a 5-speed manual or 4-speed automatic transmission,[35] and was assembled in Brazil.[36] It was later discontinued from that market in August 2010, due to decreasing sales, and the Versa replaced it for the 2012 model year.[37]

In Brazil, it was manufactured by Renault at the São José dos Pinhais factory since 2007, with the facelifted model being introduced in 2010.[38]

In South Africa , only the pick-up version was manufactured, at the Nissan factory in Rosslyn,[nb 5] starting from 2009.[7]

India

In India, the Logan was marketed as the Mahindra Renault Logan.[39] In 2005, Renault partnered the Indian utility and commercial vehicles manufacturer Mahindra & Mahindra (M&M). The Logan was launched in India in April 2007, as a collaboration with Mahindra, who helped Renault cut costs by 15%.[40] India was the first right-hand drive market for the Logan. Logan could not make it in the Indian market, selling just over 44,000 vehicles since then, with an additional 2,600 vehicles in Nepal and South Africa where M&M also held the licence to sell the Logan.[41][42] In April 2010, it was announced that the M&M had bought out Renault's 49% in the Mahindra-Renault joint venture. The new agreement gave M&M more flexibility in engineering the car to suit the needs of the Indian consumer. The Logan was marketed with the Mahindra-Renault logo until the end of March 2011.

Mahindra Verito
The Mahindra Verito Vibe notchback derived from the Logan model

Following the dissolution of the Indian joint venture between Renault India and M&M in 2010, Mahindra retained the rights to produce and sell the Logan under its own name of Mahindra Verito, with minor alterations to the front, but retaining Renault diesel engines.[43][44][45] On 26 July 2012, a facelifted version of the car was revealed by Mahindra in New Delhi,[46] and on 5 June 2013, a notchback version was launched in Mumbai , called the Mahindra Verito Vibe.[47] Production was shut down on 31 December 2019.

An electric version of the Verito sedan and its notchback version Verito Vibe was sold as the Mahindra eVerito from 2016.[48] Production was shut down on 31 December 2019.

Iran

In 2007, the Logan branded as Renault Tondar 90 (also called Renault L90), began to be marketed in Iran by Renault-Pars,[49] manufactured by Pars Khodro and Iran Khodro.[50] In the first month of production more than 100,000 Tondar 90 had been ordered.[51] Renault Pars is a joint venture, 51 percent of which belongs to Renault of France. Forty-nine percent of Renault Pars' shares is jointly held by Iran's Industrial Development and Renovation Organization, IKCO and Saipa Group. The company was established in 2003.[citation needed] In 2010, IKCO and Pars Khodro started to produce CNG Tondar 90s which can run on both petrol and CNG. They stopped producing CNG models in 2012. In 2013, IKCO started to produce Tondar 90s with automatic gearbox and they also made it comply with the Euro IV standards. A facelifted version is sold as the Tondar 90+, along with the original one.[52] There is also a pickup version called the Tondar Pick-Up.[53] In 2014 Renault updated the transmission of Logan for Iranian market using JHQ gearbox instead of regular JH3 to make the car more reliable.

By 2018, Renault had left the Iranian market but in 2023, Pars Khodro released a facelifted version of the original Dacia Logan called Pars Khodro Cadilla with over 85 percent local parts content.[54][55] The Cadila uses the 1.6-liter Saipa ME16 engine, which is actually an updated version of the PSA TU5 engine.[56]

Electric versions

United States

In the United States, an attempt at marketing electric versions of the wagon, the van and the pick-up as the EMC E36 was launched by the EnVision Motor Company, based in Des Moines, Iowa.[57] The automobiles were assembled by Dacia in Romania[58] and powered by an asynchronous motor with a range of 200 mi (320 km) per charge, giving a top highway speed as high as 75 mph (121 km/h). EMC planned to use regenerative braking and is coupled to an automatic shiftless button transmission. The battery can be charged through a J1772 plug or from wall outlets of either 120 or 240 volts. This venture has since collapsed into bankruptcy.[59]

Russia

The Lada e-Largus was announced on August 8, 2022,[60] being a fully electric version based on the Largus Furgon model, and AvtoVAZ's first production electric vehicle since the Ellada in the early 2010s.

Production

Logan production began with a 4-door sedan, followed by a wagon in September 2006. Four other models, a pick-up truck, a panel van, a related hatchback (the Sandero) and a facelifted sedan followed in 2007 and 2008. Dacia sales for 2006 were over €1.5 billion, 19.6% more than in 2005. Annual production has reached almost 250,000 cars, half for exports. As of March 2009, more than 1.3 million vehicles on the Logan platform have been sold worldwide.[61] On 3 September 2009, it was announced that one million Dacia cars on the Logan platform X90 have been produced at the Mioveni plant: 576,887 Logans, 246,869 Logan MCVs, 144,931 Sanderos and Stepways, 19,897 Logan VANs and 11,416 Logan Pick-Ups.[62]

One of the reasons for the increase in sales is the dependability of Dacia cars. In a recent survey conducted by a French magazine, Dacia cars were voted one of the safest cars in France. Another reason is their low maintenance and repair costs. According to the survey, Dacia cars were the cheapest to maintain and repair.[63] In Germany, Dacia was placed on the second position in the 2010 Vehicle Ownership Satisfaction Study released by J. D. Power and Associates in June 2010.[64]

Logan MCV

The Logan MCV (Multi Convivial Vehicle), launched at the 2006 Paris Motor Show, is the station wagon version of the Logan.[65] It has 5- or 7-seat versions, with a luggage space between 200 and 2,350 litres depending on how many seats are folded, and numerous storage spaces for smaller objects. It has a wheelbase longer by 275 mm (10.8 in) than the saloon, and larger rear doors for easy access to the third row of seats.[66] It uses the same engines as the saloon,[65] and an important improvement was the availability of side airbags.[67] It has been considered a competitor for compact MPVs, for its dimensions and the 7-seat capacity.[68]

Sales on the Romanian market began in October 2006 with prices ranging between €8,200 and €12,550,[69] while sales to other countries began in early 2007. A revised version, with the new lights and bumper from the New Logan saloon, was released in late 2008. As of June 2010, Dacia produced 300,000 Logan MCVs.[70]

2012–2022, it was also produced in Russia , by the AvtoVAZ company, under the Lada Largus brand name,[6] after it was previously exhibited at the 2010 Moscow International Motor Show as the Lada Project R90.[71] It is also offered with crossover-style body elements as the Largus Cross.[72]

Logan Van

Dacia Logan Van

The panel van variant of the Logan was launched on 23 January 2007 in Bucharest.[73] It is a small business oriented vehicle, with 2,500 litre loading space and 800 kg payload. The Logan Van is more or less an MCV without the rear side windows and therefore has the same safety features and uses the same engines as the other models (except the 1.6 16v engine). Production of this model was stopped in August 2012. Since its launch, over 53,000 units were manufactured.[74] The panel van version is continued to be produced as the Lada Largus under the Lada brand at AvtoVAZ.

Logan Pick-Up

The coupé utility version of the Logan, also based on the MCV, was introduced on 10 September 2007 (4 October 2007 at the Bucharest International Motor Show),[75] and replaced the Dacia Pick-Up. Sales began in Romania in 2008, with the price ranging between €7,300 and €9,450.

Starting October 2008, the Logan Pick-Up is sold in South Africa as the Nissan NP200. Visually similar to the original model at launch,[76] it received a light facelift in early 2009.[77] It is being built at the Nissan plant outside Pretoria, alongside the Renault Sandero, and is also exported to several Southern Africa countries such as Zimbabwe, Mozambique, Namibia, Zambia, Kenya, Uganda, Seychelles and Botswana.[78][79][80][81][82][83][84][85] As of 2021, Nissan South Africa continues to offer the pick-up.[86]

It is also offered, as of 2018, in Iran, as the Renault Tondar Pick-Up.[87]

Logan Pick-Up was discontinued by Dacia in July 2012,[88] and it was not until October 2020 that the company introduced a new pickup model, Dacia Duster Pick-Up.[89]

Interior

The second generation Logan was revealed by Dacia at the 2012 Paris Motor Show. Official photos with the new Logan were released on 17 September 2012.[92] It shares the same front end design with the second generation Sandero, also revealed at the motor show, as well as other elements too.[93]

According to Dacia, 60% of the design work was carried out in Romania, at Renault's engineering centre.[90]

Features

Among the new features introduced with the new model there was a new three-cylinder turbocharged 0.9-litre petrol engine and capable of developing 90 hp (67 kW) and 135 N⋅m (100 lb⋅ft). The other two engine options are the 1.2-litre 16-valve petrol engine, initially available also as an LPG variant, and the 1.5-litre diesel engine, available with two power outputs.[93] Their performance figures are predominantly similar to the ones of the second generation Sandero.[94] Later, the 1.2-litre LPG variant was discontinued, in favor of the 0.9 TCe, as the first did not meet the new Euro 6 emission standards.[95]

Another addition was the Media Nav system, already introduced earlier in the same year on the Lodgy, consisting of a 7-inch touchscreen display with multimedia functions and a navigation software included. Other new features are speed limiter, cruise control, rear parking sensors, and front and side airbags, as well as ABS and ESP, as standard.[93] The interior has been significantly revised, with new chromed elements added, and the hood is now supported with a strut. A new Eco button, placed on the dashboard, limits the engine revs to 4,000 rpm.[96]

At the end of 2014, Dacia started to produce Euro 6 engines, with reduced exhaust emissions.[97] From August 2015, the 0.9 TCe engine is equipped with the Start & Stop system.[98]

Starting from the end of 2016, the Dacia Logan range is offered with the Dacia Easy-R automated manual transmission (AMT).[99][100]

Variants

In the European market, the new Logan is available in different trim levels: Access, Ambiance, Laureate, Stepway, Prestige. The Access level comes with black bumpers and power steering, and is available only with the 1.2-litre engine. Ambiance has body-coloured bumpers, wheel covers, Eco mode function, power lock doors, front power windows or CD player, and as options there are metallic paint, fog lights and air conditioning. Laureate adds body-coloured door handles, fog lights as standard and trip computer, and additionally can be ordered with metallic paint, Media Nav system, leather upholstery, parking sensors, cruise control or alloy wheels. This is the only equipment level available for the 90 hp (67 kW) version of the 1.5-litre diesel engine.[94]

In June 2014, a limited edition was made available in order to celebrate 10 years since the model's launch.[101] There will be produced only 2,000 units of this version, which features new equipment such as automatic air conditioning, double optic fog lights, mirror-mounted repeaters, 16-inch wheels, along with several special design elements like the different dashboard lighting (white instead of the then usual amber color). This model was only available on the Romanian market and came equipped with 1.2 16v petrol and 1.5 dci diesel engines, both having 75 bhp.

In October 2015, Dacia launched the new Prestige trim level, which has automatic air conditioning, mirror-mounted repeaters and 16-inch wheels.[102]

Logan MCV

The estate version of the car made its debut at the 2013 Geneva Motor Show. The car will keep the MCV name, although it now stands for Maximum Capacity Vehicle, rather than the previous Multi Convivial Vehicle. It has 5 seats and a luggage capacity between 573 litres (20.2 cu ft) and 1,518 litres (53.6 cu ft),[103] featuring the same standard equipment and engine range as the saloon.[104] It began to be marketed from the second half of 2013.[105]

Facelift

Dacia presented the new Logan facelift at the 2016 Paris Motor Show. The Romanian car manufacturer models have a new design, a new steering wheel and a new 1.0-litre engine.

The Dacia designers wanted to give a new look for the Dacia models and the front side comes with several new features. The front and back bumpers have been slightly redesigned and the headlights have a new design that includes LED day running lights (it is the first time that Dacia models offer LED lights). The aesthetic package is completed by a new front grille, similar to the one found on the Duster.

The interior changes include a four-spoke steering wheel that includes the horn, new buttons and new chrome lines to suggest a new look. There is also a new glossy plastic that covers the dashboard and fits better with the "MediaNav" multimedia system that has received an updated interface with a better resolution.

Logan Stepway/Intens

Since the release of the facelift version, the Logan is also available with the crossover-styled Stepway trim, which feature raised ride height and adds exterior accessories such as black plastic wheel arch trims, body cladding, skid plates and roof rails. In February 2017, the Dacia Logan MCV Stepway in Europe.[clarification needed][106] Starting from 2018, the Stepway version also became available for the sedan version in Latin America,[107] and from November 2019 in Europe.[108] The Renault Logan Stepway was launched in Russia in December 2018,[109][110][111] followed by Brazil in July 2019 along with the facelifted model without carrying the Stepway nameplate to avoid confusion with the Sandero-based Stepway.[112] In several South American markets including Colombia, the crossover version of the Renault Logan was available as the Intens top trim.[113]

For versions equipped with CVT, the lifted version of the Logan is essentially a workaround to mitigate the fact that the CVT gearbox does not fit due to the tight space of the platform layout, which led to the vehicle being raised by fitting a reworked suspension. Without raising the ground clearance, the CVT unit would be too close to the ground and causes a risk of damage.[114][115]

Marketing and production

Sales in Romania began in November 2012, with a starting price of €6,690.[116] It is manufactured in Mioveni, Romania, and in Casablanca, Morocco, at the Somaca factory, for the North African market.[93] There will be no seven-seat or panel van versions of the second generation Logan, as they have been replaced by the Lodgy and the Dokker respectively.[92]

The saloon version was also launched in South America, as the second generation Renault Logan, in December 2013,[117] after being revealed at the Buenos Aires Motor Show in June 2013.[118] It is manufactured at the Renault Brazil factory in São José dos Pinhais (near Curitiba).[117]

In March 2014, it was launched in Russia (where it is marketed as the Renault Logan). The model is produced at the AvtoVAZ facility in Togliatti, Samara.[119]

Also in 2014, the model was launched in Egypt (as the Renault Logan),[120] together with the second generation of the Sandero and Sandero Stepway.[120]

As of December 2014, the Renault Symbol will be made from CKD in a new plant in Oran, Algeria.

In August 2015, the new Logan was presented in Colombia,[121] with the pre-sale of a thousand units. It is manufactured in Envigado at the Renault SOFASA factory.[citation needed]

In 2021, Coscharis Motors started SKD assembly in Awoyaya, Lagos (Nigeria).[122][123]

Turkey

The third generation Renault Symbol is a rebadged version of the second generation Logan.[124] It was revealed at the 2012 Istanbul Motor Show,[125][126] It went on sale on the Turkish market at the beginning of 2013, also being released in Tunisia, Algeria, the Middle East, and Chile, but not Morocco.[125]

The third-generation Logan was launched together with the new Dacia Sandero III, on 29 September 2020.[134][135] It is longer by 36 mm (1.4 in), supported by a longer wheelbase and a reduced rear overhang. It has a slimmer shape, featuring a more sloping windscreen and a roof lowered by 10 mm (0.4 in).

It is built on a CMF-B LS modular platform used by the new Sandero, and is claimed to combine greater resistance and rigidity with less weight while complying with more stringent crash-test. The new powertrain reduces emissions, and as of 2021 is compliant with pollution control requirements.[136]

Refresh

In June 2022, the Logan received a slight update incorporating the brand's new logo alongside other Dacia models. To accommodate the new logo, the grille is redesigned.[137]

Renault Taliant

The Renault Taliant is a rebadged third-generation Logan. It was revealed in Turkey on 11 March 2021,[138] and went on sale on 24 May 2021.[139][140] The vehicle is overall largely similar on the Logan, sharing the same bodywork with changes on the front fascia, rear fascia, and side door shoulder lines. As with the Logan, the Taliant is based on the CMF-B LS platform.[141][142]

The name "Taliant" is derived from the word "talent".[143]

Russia

The Logan, along with the Sandero, was due to launch in Russia in 2022, but this was never completed due to the ongoing war and the sale of Renault Russia. However, some camouflaged prototypes were photographed at the former Renault factory in Moscow, now Moskvitch.[144] A cross-sedan based on the Dacia Logan was also supposed to launch in Russia , with camouflaged prototypes even photographed.[145] A leaked image of the final car has been found in the Dacia Jogger's owner's manual, as revealed by French forum Worldscoop.[146]

Safety

Euro NCAP

The Logan in its standard European market configuration received 2 stars from Euro NCAP in 2021.[147]
