FactDacia's budget Logan is more Romanian than French on paper: Renault says 60% of this generation's design work happened at its Romanian engineering centre.
Revealed at the 2012 Paris Motor Show (photos released on 17 September 2012) on the Dacia M0 platform, sharing its front end with the second-generation Sandero; Dacia says 60% of the design work was done at Renault's engineering centre in Romania, under Erde Tungaa. Standard equipment includes a speed limiter, cruise control, rear parking sensors, front and side airbags, ABS and ESP, and a new Eco button limits revs to 4,000 rpm. Among the new features was the three-cylinder turbocharged 0.9-litre petrol with 90 hp (Start & Stop from August 2015), joined by the 1.2 16v (an LPG variant was dropped as it missed Euro 6) and a 1.5 diesel in two outputs; Euro 6 engines came at the end of 2014 and the Easy-R automated manual from the end of 2016. A 2,000-unit limited edition marked 10 years of the model in June 2014. It is also badged as the Renault Symbol and sold with a station wagon (MCV) body.

Owning one
We don’t estimate running costs for a car like this. What it costs depends on its condition, its specialist and how it is driven, and an average would mislead.

Sanctions cancelled its 2022 Russian launch; in 2024 AvtoVAZ showed its own sedan on the same platform and called it the Lada Iskra.
Dacia's budget Logan is more Romanian than French on paper: Renault says 60% of this generation's design work happened at its Romanian engineering centre.
Renault's CEO watched cheap Ladas outsell pricier Renaults on a trip to Russia and called it unacceptable — that reaction became the brief for the sub-€6,000 Logan.
Rivals
Same body, same money, other badges — tap any card to flip.
It briefly served as senior sibling to Marquette, a GM companion brand cancelled after just one year.
Nissan hired former BMW engineers to help develop the 510's suspension, which is why period reviewers frequently compared its handling to the BMW 1600/2002.
A Trabant 601 won its class at the 1970 Monte Carlo Rally, with a second 601 right behind it in second.
The 600 was a stopgap: the P50's body over the 601's mechanicals, and for a while its estate was built alongside the new 601 saloon.
The G80 Sport brought a 370 PS twin-turbo 3.3 V6, a mesh grille and copper-tinted chrome with copper stitching to match.
The Vigor was sold only with a five-cylinder engine, an unusual configuration Honda used to fit a longer engine transversely under a short hood.
The GS/E coupe earned the nickname "German Charger" for its long hood, short deck stance borrowed from Detroit muscle cars.
This DeVille/Fleetwood was the first production car anywhere to mount its V8 sideways, Cadillac's front-drive gamble on the new C-body.
