Dacia Logan MCV: space, versatility and value for money
Topic: Auto, Economy (Nov 2, 2006)
The bodyshell undergoes the same protective treatment that has forged the Logan range’s reputation for reliability and strength, including the protection of steel panels thanks to wax-injected hollow sections systematic use of mastic sealants for body panel matings and upgraded protection of the sub-frame against chipping by stones.
Meanwhile, given that Logan MCV targets a much wider range of uses than the saloon, engineers have chosen to ensure additional protection for the estate version, including a number of features revealed on the Logan Steppe Concept show car.
These include the use of broader door protective mouldings that also serve to reinforce the notion of strength exuded by the new vehicle’s lines.
Logan MCV features an underbody powertrain guard too, as well as an all-new solution designed to seal the gearbox and transmission internals from penetration by dust.
The mechanicals are consequently fully armoured against the wide variety of outside aggressions to which they might be exposed.
Combined with the new car’s high ground clearance of 155mm (an increase of 20mm compared with European norms) and long suspension travel, these features enable Logan MCV to be driven without hesitation on even the world’s roughest roads.
Special attention has also been paid to thermal comfort which has been engineered to offer consistent conditions for all passengers in both hot and cold climates thanks to optimized air-vents and a 40kg/h higher airflow rate compared with the saloon version.

Yes, I want one. Looks perfect for our 2-adults and 4-kids family, not to mention our tight budget.

Totally agree with Tim Black’s comment – having a family of six as well. Looks like an excellent VFM car, particularly if the starting price will be under 6K as suggested by some websites. The sooner it comes to the UK (Renault Logan?) the better !

The Logan (saloon) has been on sale here in Spain, where I live, for nearly two years. It is sold through Renault dealers but badged as Dacia. Price from about 5.25K to 7.25K (Pounds) before adding air conditioning, metallic paint or a CD player. My guess is 7K to 9K for the MCV, maybe 0.8K more with the air-con, etc. So cheap but not under 6K. Strangely, I have seen very few on the roads here. Possibly because the Korean brands price very aggressively here too, and the air-con comes as standard!
You should see the brilliant Logan TV adverts. They are at http://www.dacia-logan.com.es/es/DaciaSITe/news/videos/index.html

I`m a woman, so you cannot even imagine how hard it is for me to wait until April 2007 when Logan MPV is coming in Croatia !
Why cannot it be sooner ?
And I must add that it is pity that Logan Stepe is just a concept not a reality !
