The Dacia Logan was the first car produced by Renault from scratch. The car created lots of controversies around it, being a cheap one to buy, but not offering many features or high-quality materials.
The reason why the Logan sold so well was, of course, its price. Many people chose to have a new car with spare parts that were cheap and easy to replace. The Logan represented simplicity for the masses.
The trunk space was acceptable consisting of 510 l and the cabin itself was roomy due to the car’s shape, it offered enough legroom and headroom for 4 passengers.
The car came with 3 gasoline engines and 1 diesel engine that developed 65, 70 or 85 hp. The gasoline engines were a 1.2-liter with 75 hp, a 1.4-liter 75 hp or a 1.6-liter MPI producing 95, 100 or 105 hp. The 105 hp engine did quite well along with the car’s reduced weight and its performances were comparable to those of a BMW E46 with a 2.0-liter engine. All engines were mated to a 5-speed manual transmission.
To keep its price low, the Logan’s non-galvanized body rusted pretty fast plus it could be bought without ABS, climate control, power windows and power steering.
The Logan was not one of the safest cars on the streets and scored only 3 stars at the EURONCAP crash test.
Overall, it was a good car at a low budget, easy to maintain and extremely reliable.
