The new model can seat up to seven adult passengers and shakes up the estate vehicle market in the same way that Logan revolutionized the world of family saloons. Following its unveiling at the Paris Motor Show, Logan MCV will go on sale from October 2006 in Romania and from early 2007 in Dacia’s other major European markets. Like the saloon version, its powerplant range includes the 1.5 dCi diesel engine, a genuine benchmark in the realms of driving pleasure and fuel consumption. The car also comes with a three-year or 100,000km warranty (in most European Union countries). In perfect keeping with the Logan spirit, its price range represents incomparable value for its specification.
Sitting squarely on its 17-inch wheels, Logan Steppe concept exudes robustness, an impression einforced by its wrap-around bumpers and protective side sills, yet lightened
by the use of metallic finish inserts. Derived directly from Logan, the car’s grille and front-end design suggest sports performance.
The interior of Logan Steppe concept exudes a sense of warmth and conviviality, with a combination of lightcoloured leather and tech-feel fabrics. The seats take their inspiration directly from the road car and offer touring car comfort for five people. The MP3 player hints at the interior’s high-tech ambience and the rear passengers can watch their latest freestyling* exploits on the slopes thanks to two video screens built into the back of the front
headrests. Accessories can be stored safely in the roof storage system. The netted seatback pockets are ideal for stowing sports magazines. The rear 60/40 split benchseat permits enhanced modularity and load carrying capacity. The design of the dashboard is evocative of escapism and sport, and it would come as no surprise to spot the trace of a snowboard boot above the assenger-side airbag.
The Dacia Nova was introduced in1998 as an alternative to the 30 years old Dacia 1300. It’s almost modern design made it quite attractive to the Romanians. It also was cheap compared to other new foreign cars and seemed to be a well-made car (not totally true).
Nova GT and GTi
The Nova was available in 2 versions, GT and GTi, but don`t be fooled by the names. It had no sporty capabilities. It was basicaly the same car, one with a duble barrel carburetor and the other had a Throttle Body Injection. Although the engine was weak and not so reliable, it was leap form the 1.4L 57HP engine that equiped the old 1300.
But because it wasn`t a very reliable car and it`s comercial succes was not as big as intended, the production was canceled two years later and replaced by the “new” model: Dacia SupeRNova
The 510 litres volume of the trunk, as well as its geometry, allow the easy loading of objects of various shapes.
Logan has two groups of Renault 1.4 l (75 HP) and 1.6 l (90 HP) motor-propellers, 8 valves, with a JH gearbox, which give it great road endurance qualities.
While robust, L90 has a six-year corrosion guarantee. With a competitive price, L90 is also economic in use. Advantageously situated compared to the other cars of the same segment, Logan is also characterized by a moderate consumption level and a fair cost of maintenance.
