I MCV Overview:
Dacia Logan (I MCV). With 112 Nm of torque, it offers ample pulling power. It has moderate fuel consumption (~10.4 l/100km). Weighing only 1050 kg, it’s quite light. Front‑wheel drive delivers efficiency and easy handling. Acceleration is relatively slow (0–100 km/h in 13 s). The top speed reaches 162 km/h. A car with an extended rear cargo area, combining passenger comfort with increased storage. With seating for 7, it’s perfect for larger families.
