II Overview:
Dacia Logan (II). With 105 Nm of torque, it offers ample pulling power. Weighing only 1031 kg, it’s quite light. Front‑wheel drive delivers efficiency and easy handling. Acceleration is relatively slow (0–100 km/h in 15.1 s). The top speed reaches 154 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.
