Reno-Logan (new): owner feedback

The niche of budgetary sedans has always been in demand on the world market. Every year it is replenished with new and new models. But no matter how many new products were developed, Renault Logan was and still is still one of the most popular and sought-after budget-class sedans. And so, by the tenth anniversary of the French company decided to release a new generation of the legendary "budgetary". What will surprise us with the new Renault Logan? Owner reviews and car review - later in this article.

Design

Compared with the previous series, the new Renault has significantly changed in appearance. This is confirmed by the feedback on Renault-Logan. The new car is worthy of everyone's attention. Yes, some elements still make the appearance of the car recognizable, but in general the updated sedan now looks much more solid than its ancestor in 2004 - in any case, so the drivers note. Against the background of its competitors, the novelty looks very bright and expressive.

In the front, the car is decorated with new "cannons" of fog lamps in chrome trim, as well as significantly refreshed optics. Along with the headlights, the French have completely redesigned the design of the front bumper and grille. Now the chrome-plated emblem has become even larger, and the bumper architecture is more streamlined. The hood changed a bit. He acquired two relief lines, smoothly stretching to the windshield.

In terms of design evaluation, there are only positive responses about Renault-Logan. The new sedan surprised everyone with its updated exterior. In general, car owners reacted positively to the changes. At the very least, they were not in vain.

Dimensions and capacity

And also received a new Renault Renault Logan body. Reviews of motorists note significant changes in terms of size. The body of the new items has grown a little. So, the total length of the car has increased to 4346 millimeters, width - 1733 millimeters, height - 1517 millimeters. This increase in length has made it possible to significantly increase the volume of the trunk. Now it can accommodate up to 510 liters (exactly as much as the Korean "Daewoo-Nexia"). Now "Logan" is considered one of the most capacious cars of class B. But this is not all that the new Renault-Logan can surprise. The owners' comments also mark the high ground clearance of the novelty, which is 15.5 centimeters. Compared with other European-made cars, whose clearance is not more than 13-14 centimeters, this is a very worthy indicator (especially for the Russian market).

New Renault-Logan-2: reviews and interior review

Following the exterior, the French perfected and refreshed the interior of the sedan. The salon, according to the manufacturer, was radically redesigned. And indeed it is. First of all, it's worth paying attention to the finishing materials, which complete the new Renault Logan -2014. The drivers' comments indicate that now they have become much more pleasant to the touch and no longer rumbling, as before. By the way, the style of the interior was chosen very correctly. Black-beige tones look great on the background of the overall interior design and do not load the situation, as in other models of sedans. Also inside there are chrome and black glossy elements. The salon became not only topical externally, but also convenient from a practical point of view. Now there are no "wild" buttons of the window regulators and air deflectors of the outdated design. The steering wheel itself has also changed. The steering wheel has a more comfortable grip, and the thickness of the rim is matched with the mind. By the way, in more expensive complete sets "steering wheel" is skinned.

Level of equipment

But these are not all pleasant surprises, which surprise "Reno-Logan" (new). Reviews also note the rich level of equipment. Judge for yourself, it is unlikely in any budget car you will find such bells and whistles as parking sensors, electric heating of the rear and front seats, as well as an integrated onboard computer with a media system, navigation and USB-output. The computer itself is so multifunctional that it can even set the option of displaying the outside air temperature. True, some of the equipment listed above will be available to buyers only in top-end equipment. "Renault Logan" (new) reviews are very positive, even in terms of the architecture of the front panel.

Specifications

It should be noted that the line of engines is now replenished with two new power units. Among them there is an eight-valve 4-cylinder petrol engine in volume of 1598 "cubes" and capacity of 82 horsepower. In terms of the level of toxicity of exhausts, this unit fully meets the ecological standard "Euro-5". Coupled with an eight-valve engine, a manual gearbox is available in 5 stages. In terms of dynamics, we can say that the updated sedan will be very frisky to behave on the road. Now the "hundred" he is gaining in 11.9 seconds. The maximum speed of the car is 172 kilometers per hour.

But that's not all, what surprises us "Reno-Logan" new. Reviews note the high efficiency of the motor. So, the 82-hp unit now absorbs almost a liter less fuel than its "ancestors". So, in the city the car spends no more than 9.8 liters per "hundred", and for its feature - about 5.8 liters of gasoline. In a mixed cycle, this figure does not exceed the mark of 7.2 liters. True, this unit is able to work only on the 95th gasoline.

As for the second engine, replenished this year with a line of engines, it will be slightly more powerful than the above. With 1.6 liters of volume, this sixteen-valve "monster" produces up to 102 horsepower of power. As a transmission, unfortunately, only one gearbox is used here - a mechanical one at 5 stages. In the future, the manufacturer plans to include a 4-band automatic, but so far our motorists will be satisfied with only "mechanics".

Dynamics

Very pleased us "sixteen-valve" with its dynamics of dispersal. A jerk from zero to "hundreds" is estimated at 10 and a half seconds, and the maximum speed is 180 kilometers per hour.

Reno-Logan (new): reviews about the consumption

By the way, in terms of environmental friendliness, this motor also complies with the Euro-5 standard. Well, the "appetite" of a 102-strong unit is practically the same as that of an 82-strong unit. On the "hundred" in urban mode, the car spends about 9.4 liters of gasoline. Outside the city, this figure is reduced to 5.8 liters, well, and in a mixed cycle, the car "eats" about 7.1 liters of fuel. According to the manufacturer, this expense is due to the use of a fuel injection system.

Prices and complete sets

In 2014, the novelty will be delivered to the Russian market in 4 different trim levels. Among them, the basic "Access" will be available at a price of 355 thousand rubles. This price includes fifteen- inch stamped wheels, full-size spare wheel, built-in day lights, one airbag (for the driver), and manual adjustment of the exterior mirrors. The "Comfort" package is more equipped. In the list of its equipment, it is necessary to note two front electric windows, steering column height adjustment, EBD and ABS systems, hydraulic power steering, chrome trim details for the dashboard, and central locking. For all this in the showrooms will have to lay out about 408 thousand rubles. With the same level of equipment, but with a 102-horsepower engine, the Privilege package is offered at a price of 428 thousand rubles. The top version of "Lux-Privilege" will be available at a price ranging from 495 to 515 thousand rubles, depending on which engine the buyer wants to select.

As we can see, the French developers once again demonstrated a vivid example of how to make a car with a beautiful design, comfortable and spacious interior and at the same time with a small initial cost. Due to such a low price this sedan will have no competitors - it is the only one that claims to be an unquestionable victory and success in the world market.
