The French sedan based on the Megane began to be produced in 2004 in Romania under the Dacia brand in order to meet the needs of the not-so-wealthy segments of the population of Europe and Asia. But, despite the poor equipment and cheap finishing materials, there were more than enough people who wanted to buy a reliable and durable car for relatively little money. Therefore, it was decided to organize the release of Logan in Russia, plus a hatchback appeared under its own name Dacia, as well as an MCV station wagon, a VAN cargo van and a pickup truck, which is called Pick-Up.

The budget of Renault Logan also lies in the fact that an affordable and simple design allows it to be repaired in any garage without spending money on service centers and installing expensive anti-theft systems, since the hijackers are absolutely not interested in it. Taxi drivers loved the Logan for its high ground clearance, which allows forcing curbs and a smooth ride, especially since the build quality was excellent. The salon is very spacious, practical and quite comfortable, only all sorts of squeaks annoy. The level of practicality is reduced by the non-folding rear seat and very easily soiled upholstery, and there is no need to talk about comfort, since there is not even a cabin filter, the budget is the budget.

Operation and malfunctions of Renault Logan engines

Of the engines on the Renault Logan, the 1.4 L K7J with 75 hp is the most common and 1.6 l K7M in 87 hp. Both are simple, reliable and absolutely hassle-free, they work with pleasure on the A-92, and the fuel pump resource is 200 thousand km. Replacement, however, is quite expensive, since it changes only in the collection.

The more powerful K7M is also quite high-torque and economical, the fuel consumption does not exceed 7 liters on the highway and 10 liters in the city per 100 kilometers. But it also has some unpleasant features. Firstly, the throttle unit does not differ in durability, the resource of which rarely exceeds 70 thousand km, and secondly, to replace the timing belt, it is necessary to hang the engine and remove the support, which translates into additional costs. In addition, spark plug wells are not protected from dirt and when replacing spark plugs, all debris strives to get into the cylinders. To avoid this, it is strongly recommended to put felt rings on the candle tips. And when replacing the candles themselves, you need to be very careful, since the collector screen is all with barbs and it will not be difficult to get hurt. To the disadvantages of gasoline engines, I would also attribute the lack of a fuel filter on them since 2008, based on the quality of our fuel, this decision is rather controversial.

Engine oil is changed every 15 thousand kilometers, naturally with a filter. If, after 40 thousand km, a hum appeared on a cold start, then most likely this is due to the tension roller of the poly V-belt, usually with the engine warming up the extraneous hum disappears. Replacement of the timing belt is provided after 60 thousand km of run, and after 70 thousand km, a leak in the crankshaft oil seal may occur. On cars released in 2007, there was often a problem with a cold start, the fault of which is the engine ECU. In such cases, only the flashing of the "brains" helps. Even on the Romanian Logan, you will have to constantly monitor the rear engine mount, which is not distinguished by its durability.

Renault Logan transmission problems

The transmission on the Renault Logan is not original, since the gearbox and clutch are taken from, but this did not affect the reliability and durability. It can only upset the fuzzy gear shifting of the five-speed manual transmission and the grinding noise when trying to engage reverse gear without completely stopping the car. Some people forget that there is no synchronizer on it. The clutch resource is about 80 thousand kilometers, which is relatively good.

You shouldn't mess with an automatic gearbox, it's very problematic and unreliable. Although its resource reaches 200 thousand km, but before that, after a run of 80 thousand km, a breakdown of the hydraulic valve block and wear of the clutches is quite likely.

Disadvantages and sores of electrical equipment Renault Logan

Electrical equipment is also not happy, mainly due to the weak protection of harnesses, connectors and wiring. Special attention should be paid to the electrician when washing the car, since the not very good arrangement of electrical appliances allows water to fill in the electronic components, sensors and ignition coils. In particular, the heater control unit and engine ECU are located near the battery, so the likelihood of ECU failure increases with each wash. Many Logan owners are upset by the inconvenient access to the headlights, which is why they have to remove the battery to replace the lamps. The odometer is shamelessly lying, it shows 1000 km, although the car actually covered 925 - 930 km. The window regulator keys are very inconveniently located, since the designers decided to place them on the center console, what is the point here is not clear. After 30 thousand km of run, the cover of the fuse box located at the end of the panel looses and begins to creak. To eliminate the squeak, it is enough to put the durit hose on the pin of the steel frame. With the same mileage, you will have to replace the spark plugs and headlight lamps, which, as a rule, burn out the dipped beam. A short-lived ignition coil requires constant monitoring, and the license plate lamp usually burns out after 40 thousand kilometers.

Steering Renault Logan

The steering of Renault Logan came from, so it is reliable and trouble-free, just that the steering column was too high, and there are no adjustments. The steering tips change after 100 thousand km of run, but the steering rods are not as durable, they will have to be replaced much earlier.

Malfunctions in the running, suspension and braking system Renault Logan

In the braking system, the most short-lived are the front brake pads, the resource of which rarely exceeds 30 thousand km, the rear drum brake pads can withstand up to 100 thousand km of vehicle operation. Brake discs can withstand three pad changes, and the caliper guides will require constant monitoring, regular lubrication is extremely necessary for them. The overall suspension is comfortable, energy-intensive and hassle-free, providing a smooth ride. The front one came from, therefore it is quite durable, and the back one is also reliable. First of all, after 60 thousand km, the bushings and stabilizer struts will require replacement, behind them in the region of 110 thousand km the shock absorbers will end up. Ball joints work out the longest, they will have to be changed after 120 thousand km of run, but replacement will upset with financial waste, since they are pressed into the levers and change only with them. In the chassis, only the wheel bearings were short-lived, the rest of the parts were problem-free.

Sores and problems on the body Renault Logan

The body will delight with a large trunk and cheap body parts, but the paintwork was weak, especially in the area of \u200b\u200bthe windshield frame. Most often, paint swells here on cars manufactured before 2006; on later releases of Logan, this defect was most likely eliminated. Many people will not like the large trunk hinges that eat up a decent amount of luggage space, as well as the short-lived trunk lid locks. Corrosion resistance turned out to be rather low, especially for cars manufactured before 2008. First of all, the roof, the upper edges of the windshield and rear windows, gutters and rear wheel arches suffer, chips on which are instantly covered with rust. In addition, the windshield is overwritten very quickly. Particular attention should be paid to rugs, which tend to shrink from temperature changes and reagents, after which they cease to hold on to the bosses and slide under the pedal assembly. The danger lies in the fact that the accelerator pedal starts to stick in the depressed position, with all the ensuing consequences. And finally, when reversing out of a snowdrift, check the front mudguards, whose inner caps simply break off during such maneuvering. It is best to put composite VAZ ones with a core fungus instead of the standard ones.

As of 2007 (the pre-crisis year), when the products of the automotive industry were sold like hot cakes, the cost of the base Renault Logan was 275 thousand rubles. Translated into euros (who remembers) - 8,000. For absolutely incomprehensible reasons, a budget car, in the production of components for which more than 30 Russian enterprises are involved, equaled in value with representatives of the middle European class. What caused it? Has the quality improved? Increased production costs? Anything else? Anticipating consumer questions, we answer - "Nothing serious, everything is much simpler - high popularity of the model." Feeling the taste of "victory", the manufacturer began to rapidly raise prices and it is not known how all this would have ended, if not for the crisis.

The practice of operating Renault Logan in the harsh Russian conditions quickly dotted the i's and revealed most of the car's shortcomings.

The ground clearance increased to 155 mm, proved to be excellent in the conditions of "European off-road", but when it came to Russia, the lack of crankcase protection became a serious problem. In addition, 8-valve motors, developed for low-quality Eastern European gasoline, do not tolerate cold well, moreover, the battery power itself is often not enough to turn the starter flywheel in 20-degree frost.

"Reinforced" springs quickly "get tired" of our pits and after a year of intensive use they have to either be lifted or changed. The gearbox is poorly matched to the temperament of the engine (short first gear), moreover, it is difficult to engage reverse gear.

Ergonomics Renault Logan does not shine with delights. In addition, a car cigarette lighter and two cup holders are among the options for which you need to pay a couple of hundred dollars extra.

Rattling of plastic and insufficient sound insulation of the cabin are common, which, in general, provides a high level of noise.

The rear seat cannot be folded down, so if you need to transport a bulky item, you will have to unscrew the fastening bolts. The window regulator buttons are not very conveniently located - on the central panel. The lack of interior lighting limit switches on the passenger doors is also upsetting.

There are positive aspects in the car. These include, for example, the luggage compartment. Keeping the space in the cabin, the French created a quite decent luggage compartment (515 liters), which was highly appreciated by taxi drivers and family people. The stability of the car is also at a height, which allows you to feel confident while driving at high speeds.

Having carefully studied the technical characteristics, and also taking into account the feedback from the owners of Renault Logan, we were able to identify several main problems in the operation of this car:

Standard mud flaps do not provide protection of the body from throwing dirt from under the wheels, therefore, in rain or snow, door arches and sills are always dirty;
the absence of a cabin filter is inconvenient when driving on dirt roads, especially in summer (poplar fluff) and autumn (fallen leaves);
the area of \u200b\u200boperation of the wipers does not cover the entire glass, and for some reason the wipers do not work when the washer is turned on;
the paintwork of the first Logan models does not tolerate blows from small stones quite well, which leads to cracking of the coating and corrosion of the body;
the brake light limit switch does not work when you lightly press the brake pedal, which can lead to a collision with the car behind.

During the release of Renault Logan in Russia, the color comments were eliminated in the new models.

Experienced advice. A little kulibinism to improve quality

In this section, we have tried to collect a complete list of minor improvements that will significantly improve the ergonomics and comfort of the "project 5,000 euros".

A little about the alterations:

By replacing the front mudguards with wider ones (sold at car markets as tuning), you completely eliminate the throwing of dirt into the arches of the doorways;
the cabin filter can be installed by yourself, but it is better to contact the service, because for this you will have to cut an opening in the plastic lining inside the cabin;
in order for the wiper from the passenger side to enter the working area of \u200b\u200bthe "driver's wiper", its length should be shortened by 5 mm, however, do not forget that for this procedure you will need to saw and, on a new one, connect the brush holder bracket;
in order for the "wipers" to run in tandem with the washer, the wiper contacts should be connected to the windscreen washer contacts in the area of \u200b\u200bthe steering column switch (a detailed description of this operation can be found at autoforums);
for the correct operation of the brake limit switch, it is necessary to adjust it in accordance with the free travel of the brake pedal (done independently or at a service center).

Summing up, I would like to note that if you are not afraid of difficulties and have many years of experience driving a VAZ, the quality of Renault Logan will suit you perfectly. With minor adjustments to the flaws, you can enjoy owning this car until you "try"

The beautiful Renault Logan sedan was originally created for developing countries. That is, for those people who do not need an expensive car, but at the same time, they require a high-tech car with a modern appearance. Basically, Renault completed the task. Logan is not a very expensive car, but it meets all the requirements of a modern car. However, there were many flaws in the creation of the car. Now, the 1st generation Renault Logan, although it fulfills all the requirements in its price segment, has a number of unpleasant disadvantages.

Weaknesses Renault Logan 2004-2015 release

• Gas pedal;
• Crunch in the gearbox;
• Hub bearings;
• Brake force distributor;
• Wipers and paintwork;
• Headlight mountings.

When choosing any car, you should immediately pay attention to the engine. The engine volume is in the range of 1.4-1.6 liters. Power from 75 to 113 horsepower. For such a price, the characteristics are at a high level, but there are obvious drawbacks.

Due to low temperatures, the gas pedal sticks. Tip: This can be avoided by lubricating the pedal cable with frost-resistant machine oil in winter. If the owner constantly refills with low-quality fuel, malfunctions will begin after 10,000 kilometers. For cars with mileage of 30-40,000 km. there is a high probability of failure of the pump.

Transmission

When the reverse gear is turned on, a crunch is heard, initially it will be difficult to identify exactly where the crunch is. This is due to the lack of a reverse gear synchronizer.

It is rather weak, shock absorbers can fail with a run of 10-15,000 km. Hub bearings often do not even live up to 30 thousand km. mileage.

Brake system

The front brake pads in every car start to wear out over time, but in Renault Logan this does not happen evenly. After 10,000 km of run - the rear brake force distributor creaks. In the future, they may refuse altogether. To maintain their shape, they must be constantly lubricated every 10 thousand km.

The wipers will need to be changed frequently. They wear out quickly, a strong creak makes it clear about the problem with them. The quality of the painting is not top notch. In a little time, you will immediately notice small scratches on the body.

From a bad road, the upper mounts of the headlights begin to crack. This car is suitable for the "ideal" city, so be careful with the operation. Vibration can cause the front foglights to fall out.

Feedback from car owners only confirms the above-described weaknesses of the Renault Logan 2004-2015. Consider these sores when buying.

The main disadvantages of the 1st generation Renault Logan

• The first time the owner will be uncomfortable with the handle in the form of "recesses".
• The trunk. There is a small protrusion in the trunk, so when loading any cargo, it will scratch. An additional disadvantage in the trunk is hinges, plugs and wires. If you accidentally hook them, they will come off.
• Glove compartment. The manufacturers took a pity on the place for him. It is sorely lacking for use. The torpedo has a rounded shape, it is impossible to put things on it.
• Oil filter. If you take it off, there is a good chance you will burn your hand. You can avoid this by removing the collector, but you have to make an effort and spend a lot of time.
• Creak. Almost everything squeaks in the cabin. No matter how the driver or passengers turn, no matter what opens, it all creaks.
• Power steering reservoir. Rather loosely attached. In addition, it also holds the radiator. He constantly gets out, which brings discomfort to the owner of the car.
• Sealed the doors. If snow is not removed from the door seals in winter, it begins to gradually penetrate into the interior. This problem is not so bad, but it can cause a lot of discomfort to the driver.
• Small mirrors in the car. A small minus, because there is a special equipment with large enough mirrors.
• Cabin filter. Replacing it presents a lot of difficulties. They are rarely changed, quickly, but in this car it can take a whole day. If you do not want to waste time, you can simply use the services of specialists in any car service.
• There is no light in the trunk. The disadvantage is minor, but it brings discomfort in some situations.
• You can only get to the fuses by opening the driver's doors. Any car rusts and deforms over time, so when you open this door, in rainy weather, water can get into the fuse. This will lead to serious consequences.
• Accelerates slowly. The reason is poor aerodynamics.
• The manufacturer did not consider the location of the wipers. The glass is wet, the driver turns on the wipers, and only some of the "tears" are wiped off. This is very annoying and makes it difficult to concentrate on the road.

For most motorists, these shortcomings are considered unacceptable in the modern world. Do not forget that the price of Renault Logan is not high, and the sore spots are not so fatal. When reviewing any car, it is worth considering all the pros and cons, and the first Logans have much more of them.

Pros and benefits of Renault Logan

• The doors are very high and wide. It is very convenient.
• Despite the fact that the car is not very expensive, the seats are modern and very comfortable. The fit is comfortable, the quality of the upholstery is excellent, and sitting on these seats is simply very pleasant.
• The car is well prepared for cold weather. The stove in the car perfectly heats the interior and uses a minimum of resources. The stove in the car is modern and designed in such a way that it heats the temperature inside the cabin evenly.
• Renault Logan has a very high seating position. Thanks to the high ground clearance, this car will pass in places where some crossovers are simply powerless.
• The suspension is ideal for domestic roads and driving conditions, because it is simply "Unkillable" (But do not take it literally). Even high mileage is not an indicator that the suspension has overtaken wear and tear.
• Time-tested engine. They are very reliable and rarely require repair. In addition, the engine in Renault Logan is omnivorous and can drive A-92, A-95 or A-98. In addition, the consumption in mixed mode is about 8 liters per 100 kilometers.
• The gas tank box is closed with a key. Many cars of the same class are limited to a regular traffic jam. This is a very good advantage if the owner always leaves the car on the street. He can rest assured that the hooligans are not stealing fuel from him.
• The car is very cheap. This applies not only to the price of a new car, but also to service. The owner of the car does not need a lot of money, even for major repairs. In addition, the Renault Logan is very easy to maintain, so many parts can be replaced or replaced with your own hands. Besides, it is not only inexpensive, but also reliable.
• The car's engine is ideal for the harsh Russian winter. Even after several years of operation, it will start without problems at minus 35 degrees.
• If you turned off the car and are going to get out of it, but did not turn off the headlights, then the car will inform you about this with the help of a sound signal, which is given by the "Brain" of the car. The system is able to determine whether you have turned off the headlights or not and give a signal in cases where this has not been done.
• Renault engineers perfectly protected the crankcase and other components. Taking into account the state of domestic roads, this enhanced protection neutralizes the risk of engine damage.

Conclusion.

The car has many advantages. However, Renault Logan's vulnerabilities are quite significant. Not completely thought out design of the body and interior, flaws with the trunk, not well-developed aerodynamics and much more. It all spoils the big picture. Be that as it may, the advantages in the car are much more significant. Thanks to this, the new Renault Logan is very popular in the domestic market and is actively sold out in car dealerships. Many owners say that the car is peculiar and "Unusual", but this is tolerable. Given the price segment, such minor flaws can simply be written off. In addition, many disadvantages in the car can be easily corrected by yourself.

PS: We will be grateful if you describe below in the comments the main shortcomings and frequent breakdowns of your car of this brand, identified during operation.

Weaknesses and main disadvantages of Renault Logan with mileage was last modified: October 18th, 2018 by Administrator

This smoke with a light foreign aroma is “sweet and pleasant” to many: the demand for foreign cars produced in Russia is stable. Renault-Logan is one of them. Despite the overall drop in sales, these cars are less likely than others to stagnate at both dealerships and the aftermarket. If everything is more or less clear with the purchase of a new car, then the choice of a used one is rich in nuances. Let's talk about them.

At the capital "Avtoframos" the model began to be assembled in 2005. At first, problems with its quality did not seem to be foreseen. But a year later, rust appeared on the cars from some parties. More often in the area of \u200b\u200bthe rear wheel arches, along the edge of the windshield and on the roof, under the door seals. While the plant was figuring out the reasons and “taking action,” a couple of months passed. And the people, meanwhile, were indignant, filled up with complaints from the manufacturer. He ordered dealers to partially repaint defective parts of cars manufactured before the end of 2006, and apply a protective layer of wax in the cavity of the wheel arches, and also changed the technology for applying mastics on the factory conveyor. Since then, the defect has not appeared.

Selling a car with a repainted body is, of course, more difficult. After all, you will have to prove that under the guise of that campaign you did not hide your emergency past. In fact, it is not difficult to convince the buyer, you just need to visit the nearest dealer with him and measure the thickness of the paintwork with a special device. The buyer should know that the thickness of the factory coating should be in the range of 110-130 microns, and repainted under warranty - 150-180 microns. If the ulcer was deep, then the device has the right to show even 200 microns. But anything more is a sure sign of putty under the paint, that is, body straightening. And this is a reason to start bargaining.

Some of the cars produced before 2007 had front engine oil seals leaking. I remember, then on the Internet, the owners claimed that the oil level was too high, and recommended keeping it in the middle between the marks on the dipstick. Allegedly, these motors "do not like" when there is a lot of oil. But soon the leak manifested itself again, because the root cause remained - the roughly machined neck of the oil pump gear ate the working edge of the oil seal. The correct solution is to replace the gear and oil seal. It is not worth delaying the repair, since oil splashes fall on the timing belt and soon lead to its destruction.

Take the manufacturer's recommendation to change the timing drive every 60 thousand km seriously, otherwise you will certainly get what the people aptly called "Stalingrad" - the consequences of the meeting of valves with pistons when the belt breaks. On 8-valve motors, the drive is simple, like on domestic "eights". We must change the tension roller, carefully check the pump. Usually it is enough for a second term, and occasionally for a third. Since 2008, a modified pump has gone, which, as a rule, serves 180 thousand km. It is more difficult with Megan's sixteen-valves, which have been equipped with some "Logans" since the end of 2009. Here, in the connection of the pulley to the crankshaft, there is neither a key nor a locking pin. Therefore, replacing the drive without special devices will not work.

Around mid-2007, the plant discontinued the remote fuel filter. Controversial decision! It is painfully expensive to change the fuel pump assembly every 90,000 km, as prescribed by the regulations. However, many owners ignore this requirement and drive to the last, until the engine starts twitching under increased load, as if complaining about low pressure in the ramp. As a rule, this happens after 150 thousand km, but there are lucky ones who have traveled more than 200 thousand km with their own pump.

ENGINE LIFE: GAS BEFORE FAILURE

In general, engines are not picky about the quality of gasoline. Only a few cases of valve hang-up were recorded due to an increased content of tar in the fuel, which form carbon deposits and on the valve stems. Nevertheless, it is advisable to alternate city trips, when the engine idles more, with out-of-town voyages: driving at full throttle helps to remove carbon deposits. Then you will have to flush the nozzles less often (usually this is done without dismantling the nozzles, washing off carbon deposits from the valves, and at the same time from the piston rings and the walls of the combustion chambers).

It happens that when the gas is released to "neutral" (in a mechanical box), the motor holds a couple of thousand revolutions for a long time, and sometimes it blows up to the limiter. You have to pry the gas pedal with your toes, which is simply dangerous while driving. Often the blame for everything is the ruptured gas cable rubbing against the shell - this is only partially true. Sometimes replacing the cable does help, but more often you have to flush the throttle assembly that is wedging up due to dirt. Sometimes an expensive mechanism (the price is about 8 thousand rubles) even has to be changed. And if under the hood there is a brand new sixteen-valve K4M with an electronic gas pedal, the throttle assembly must be calibrated using a dealer scanner.

Only the steering tips (arrow) do not shine with longevity. Previously, they were accompanied by wheel bearings, but recently there are much fewer problems with them. The brake pads are enough for 30-35 thousand, discs - for 60-90 thousand km.

Only the steering tips (arrow) do not shine with longevity. Previously, they were accompanied by wheel bearings, but recently there are much fewer problems with them. The brake pads are enough for 30-35 thousand, discs - for 60-90 thousand km.

The transition to Euro IV (2008-2009) will be remembered for a long time by many owners who have experienced cold start problems. The fact is that the program of the engine control unit was not properly adapted to our realities (not only to fuel, but also to cold weather) and gave too short a pulse to the injectors. The poor mixture in the cold, of course, did not want to burn. The plant worked quickly (thanks for that), and after a couple of weeks the dealers had a new firmware. But she did not help some - according to official data, due to failures in the upper oxygen sensor, which was also changed under warranty (problems with it happened before). However, 15% of users were unhappy: neither one nor the other helped. Unofficials came to the rescue, developing their own version of the program. But not everything is smooth with it: fuel consumption and toxicity are increasing.

The rear brake pads often have to be replaced due not to wear and tear (this happens at 100-120 thousand km), but to getting wet due to leaky brake cylinder cuffs. It is advisable to change the cylinders together with the pads.

The rear brake pads often have to be replaced due not to wear and tear (this happens at 100-120 thousand km), but to getting wet due to leaky brake cylinder cuffs. It is advisable to change the cylinders together with the pads.

We change the candles every 15 thousand km, but before unscrewing the old ones, we remove all the dirt from the wells (we are talking about eight valves), otherwise it will certainly fall into the cylinders.

SUSPENSION RESOURCE: HERE-HERE

Watch out for the left boot of the inner CV joint! It is made according to the "Zaporizhzhya" type (it also has an axle shaft oil seal), and if the cover leaks out, oil will leak out of the box. Then expensive repairs cannot be avoided. In general, the MCP is very reliable and lasts a long time. Including the gearshift drive, which is rarely loose, despite the fact that the lever is constantly walking back and forth. The clutch wears out up to 90-120 thousand km, but with careful handling it can survive up to 180 thousand km.

In the front suspension, we pay the main attention to the steering tips, which are capable of knocking after 60-70 thousand km (this is the weakest link). Silent blocks and ball joints last a little longer (dealers recommend changing them assembled with levers). By 150 thousand km, backlash may appear in the steering rods - in the inner tips that are located under the rail corrugations. The steering rack itself serves quite a long time, and even for taxis, whose mileage is approaching half a million kilometers. A similar picture is with the bearings of the front hubs: on the first batches of cars they did not last more than 40-50 thousand km. Not least because in the versions without ABS there was a hole in the steering knuckle instead of a sensor, through which dirt flew directly onto the bearing seals. Only later these holes began to be closed with foam rubber plugs. At the same time, we changed the seal of the bearings, now they serve 120-150 thousand km each. This is also the lower limit of the shock absorbers, which run much longer for neat riders.

Like any car, the Logan, of course, is not without its flaws. But the reasonable price of the car more than compensates for them. That is why taxi companies and other commercial structures gladly employ him. Those who care not about the image of a car, but about its reliability as a business partner. And so that he doesn't stay on sick leave for a long time!

We are grateful to the company "Avtomir-Renault" on Ozernaya "for help in preparing the material.

MODEL HISTORY

2004 Renault-Logan debut. In some countries, the model is sold under the brand name "Dacia". Body: sedan and station wagon. Engines (all - P4): petrol - 1.4 liters, 55 kW / 76 hp; 1.6 l, 64 kW / 87 hp or 77 kW / 104 hp (8- and 16-valve); diesel - 1.5 l, 50 kW / 68 hp; 1.5 l, 63 kW / 86 HP Front-wheel drive, M5.

2005 The production of a sedan was mastered at the Avtoframos enterprise.

Crash test "Dacia-Logan" according to the EuroNCAP method: 8 points for a frontal impact and 11 for a side impact. Bottom line: three stars.

2009 Start of sales on the Russian market of the 16-valve modification.

2010 Restyling. The bumpers, grille, optics, dashboard and door trim have changed.
