Infrequently eminent Western manufacturers think about how to make a normal practical car for the people. Renault has made significant progress in this direction. Her cars are really pleasing in this sense. Touching upon the issue of their products, it is worth dwelling in detail on the Dacia Logan model, reviews of which are only positive.

A bit of history

Logan's design history dates back to 1998. It was then that the decision was made to develop a compact family-type car for 5 thousand euros. The model was specifically designed for emerging markets.

In some countries, the car is presented under the Renault and Nissan brands. For example, buyers in Russia, India and Latin America know it as Renault Logan. Assembly is done in Morocco, Romania, etc.

As for the body, the original sedan went on sale in 2004. And 2005 marked the beginning of the assembly of the Logan car in Moscow. The next copies that left the assembly line in 2007 were the Dacia Logan - a station wagon and a van. Also this year, a pickup truck was introduced, but it was sold only in the European market.

Gasoline engines

The power units installed on the car have their own history.

• Version 1, 16 V, 16V, 998cc, 16-valve engine3 can provide a maximum power of 76 hp. With. (5850 rpm). With such a device under the hood, Dacia Logan can reach a maximum speed of 160 km / h. Runs on ethyl alcohol, gasoline, and a mixture of both, when choosing alcohol, the engine power, and accordingly, the maximum speed, increases.
• Version 1, 4 MPi eight-valve engine with a displacement of 1390 cm3, has a power of 75 hp. With. (5500 rpm). Top speed is slightly faster than the previous version at 162 km/h.
• Setting 1.6L (8 valves) is the same as above. However, it has improved characteristics, which guarantees the Dacia Logan a maximum power of 90 hp. With. and a speed limit of 175 km/h.
• The 1.6L (16 valves) 90 horses (5750 rpm) max power unit produces a top speed of 180 km/h, which again differs slightly from previous versions.

It is worth noting that the version of the engine 1, 6 is practically no different from the model 1, 4.

Dieselengines

Also, do not forget about two more diesel versions of the 1.5 dCi engine. Unfortunately, the Dacia Logan (station wagon and sedan) with this equipment is not for sale in Russia. These units belong to 8-valve units, however, they have lower maximum power and speed. Accordingly, they are:

• 70 l. With. – 158 km/h;
• 85 l. With. – 167 km/h.

Clearance in all versions is the same, according to the manufacturer, it is 155 mm. In general, Renault has installed a simple and easy to maintain engine, making this car ideal for our domestic roads. By the way, you should pay attention to the fact that repairing the car will not be expensive and problematic, since almost every center has spare parts for it.

Dacia Logan: technical equipment

What can you tell from looking under the hood of a car? Coil with high voltage wires, not separate versions for each spark plug. For all the archaism of the assembly, this car is considered one of the most reliable, capable of traveling 400 thousand km without major repairs. The motor runs very smoothly when starting, without extraneous sounds.

Fuel consumption is important when driving performance, which varies depending on the mode of travel (highway, city) and driving style. For a diesel engine that is installed on the Dacia Logan (station wagon), the consumption is 5.8 liters (in the city) and 4.1 (along the highway), the calculation is per 100 km. Modification of the unit 1, 4 MPI - 9.2 l and 5.5 l, respectively. Version 1.6 16V notboasts a special separation from the previous configuration. Its characteristics: urban mode - 9.2 liters, highway - 5.9 liters. The 1.6 MPI engine is characterized by such indicators as 10 liters and 5.7 liters. The 1.4 MPi has the lowest average fuel consumption of gasoline engines, and it also has the lowest carbon dioxide emissions.

Car equipment from 2004 to 2008

The equipment of the Dacia Logan model is divided into 4 groups. The first one dates back to 2004-2008. with petrol engines. The main components were a standard driver's airbag, a rear door lock (from children) and safety beams (door). Optional parts were additional airbags (side and front), anti-lock braking system, air conditioning and power windows.

Diesel models 2004-2008 the main components did not differ, but as an option, plus those already listed, there was a power steering, an on-board computer, fog lights and 15-inch alloy wheels.

Vehicle equipment 2008 release

Dacia Logan equipment from 2008 - present:

• halogen headlights;
• power steering;
• power windows (front and rear);
• brake force distribution system;
• anti-lock braking system.

Diesel models produced during this period were also no different from those described above. In general, the Dacia-Renault Logan has a stablecomplete set. But it is difficult to talk about innovation, because, looking from the outside - for 10 years of production of this model, there have been no significant changes in the characteristics.

As for the headlights. They are made of high-quality and high-quality plastic, thanks to which they are protected from darkening. High quality fog lights are installed on the Dacia Logan car. The price, of course, of such a configuration will be slightly higher. There is also one more nuance: such equipment is characterized by the use of a rare lamp, which is difficult to find in our car services, which upsets Russian car enthusiasts.

Advantages and disadvantages of the car

Knots and suspensions are highly reliable, they are great for low-quality roads. Car doors boast a large angle and ease of opening, which is also undoubtedly convenient. The handles are not inferior in quality, but if they break, they can be easily replaced with new ones. Any service station will be happy to make repairs. Dacia Logan undoubtedly has another big advantage. This is the cost. For 2015 - early 2016, the average price with an automatic transmission is about 450 thousand rubles, and with a mechanical one - 400 thousand rubles.

Now let's pay attention to the unpleasant moment. The body on the Logan is well painted, primed, but not galvanized. This may cause that after several years of operation, some pockets of corrosion may be noticeable, for example, on the rear trunk lid. The manufacturer gives a guarantee of 6 years.

Let's bring it downresults

In general, this car is distinguished from its competitors by three qualities - reliability, spaciousness, safety. Actually, this is the symbolic characteristic of Renault. In the domestic market in 2009, the model was the leader in sales, and even now it is not inferior to others. And all this because she herself has established herself as a reliable and practical vehicle that combines durable materials with relative efficiency. Consumers leave only positive feedback about the Dacia Logan.
