II Overview:
Dacia Logan (II). With 107 Nm of torque, it offers ample pulling power. It has moderate fuel consumption (~7.4 l/100km). Weighing only 974 kg, it’s quite light. Front‑wheel drive delivers efficiency and easy handling. Acceleration is relatively slow (0–100 km/h in 14.5 s). The top speed reaches 162 km/h. A four-door car with a separate trunk, ideal for families and daily commuting. Seating for 5 makes it ideal for daily use.
The Dacia Logan II shares its platform and safety architecture with the Dacia Sandero II, which achieved a 4-star Euro NCAP rating in 2013. While not directly tested, its safety performance is considered comparable, offering reasonable protection for occupants.
