Dacia Logan (X52/L52). 2012 to date (prod. n/a). 4-door saloon, 5-door estate. F/F, 898 cm³ (I3 DOHC), 1149 cm³ petrol, 1461 cm³ diesel (I4 OHC). Renault repeats its earlier formula with second-generation Logan, raiding its parts’ bin and using common components where possible for a no-frills saloon. Quality improved, with more solid-sounding doors, and better panel fit. Base model still very basic with interior materials. More refined overall, with better ride, though still some road noise. Intuitive Media Nav system with seven-inch touch-screen display as standard, while speed limiter, rear parking sensors, cruise control and ABS also feature, and for a very modest price rise at launch. Turbo 0·9, also used in Renault Clio IV, produces 90 hp. Estate, from 2013, dubbed MCV.
