History
The Logan was the end result of Project X90, announced by Renault in 1999 after the buyout of Dacia in 1998. During a visit to Russia by French President Jacques Chirac, Louis Schweitzer noted that at Lada and Renault dealerships the €6,000 Ladas were selling very well, while the €12,000 Renaults stayed in the showroom. "Seeing those antiquated cars, I found it unacceptable that technical progress should stop you making a good car for €6,000." (He later revised this target to €5,000). "I also drew up a list of specifications in three words – modern, reliable and affordable – and added that everything else was negotiable."[citation needed] However, the cheapest version of the car is priced at almost €6,000, and can reach €8,500, depending on equipment and customs duty (the base model for Western Europe, where it is badged as a Dacia but generally sold in Renault dealerships, is somewhat more expensive). As it was designed from the outset as an affordable car, the Logan has many simplified features to keep costs low. âChiracâ redirects here. ...

It was officially launched in 2004. Renault originally had no plans to sell Logan in Western Europe, but began importing a more expensive version of the car in June 2005, starting at around €7,000. It became an unexpected success with people wanting an inexpensive, no frills car they could repair themselves. The Logan was launched in India in June 2007 as a collaboration with Mahindra, an established automobile manufacturer with countrywide presence. (India was the first right hand drive market for the Logan,) It was almost an instant success with zooming sales within the first few months.[1] 2005 : January - February - March - April - May - June - July - August - September - October - November - December- â Deaths in June June 27: Shelby Foote June 27: John T.

Features The Logan is based on the B platform that is used by the third generation Renault Clio, Renault Modus and the latest version of the Nissan Micra. It has 50% fewer parts than a high-end Renault vehicle and has a limited number of electronic devices. In addition to making the car less costly to produce, this also makes it easier and cheaper to repair. As with many low-cost vehicles, a large amount of soundproofing was omitted, meaning that road vibrations, engine sound and wind noise are noticeable for the passengers.

Some parts are also much simpler than those of its competitors. For example, rear-view mirrors are symmetrical and can be used on either sides of the car, the windshield is flatter than usual, and the dashboard is a single injection-molded piece.

The developers have taken into account several differences between road and climate conditions in developed and developing countries. The Logan suspension is soft and strong, and the chassis sits visibly higher than most other superminis to help it negotiate dirt roads and potholes on ill-maintaned asphalt roads. The engine is specially prepared to handle lower quality fuel, whereas the air conditioning is powerful enough to lower temperature several degrees (above 40ºC are common in the Middle East and Mediterranean Sea). Composite satellite image of the Mediterranean Sea. ...
Safety In June 2005 the car achieved a 3 star rating at the EuroNCAP crash tests, lower than most other cars of its age. This result confirms initial expectations stated earlier by Renault. The car was equipped with dual frontal airbags, which are optional in many markets. The Logan does not have seatbelt pretensioners. EuroNCAP, the European New Car Assessment Programme, is a safety assessment programme for automobiles supported by several European governments, many major manufacturers and motoring organisations across the world. ...
In July 2005, a "Fahrdynamik-Test" (similar to an elk-test, but not identical) conducted by the German ADAC claimed that the lack of an Electronic Stability Program by Dacia Logan makes it roll over while suddenly turning at 65 km/h. More pictures here. Later that month, the Romanian version of Top Gear repeated the "elk-test" and, according to the results published on their website, the Logan passed the test at speeds of 72 km/h, 84 km/h and 87 km/h. Article in Romanian [1]. However, it should be noted that the test performed by Top Gear was a standard elk-test, while the "Fahrdynamik-Test" performed the by the ADAC was quite different. Top Gear falsely claimed that the test was identical to the one performed by the ADAC. ADAC (German: ) is Germanys largest automobile club with 15. ...

Later, on September 9, ADAC published the results of further incident investigation, showing that the rollover was actually caused by faulty tires and not by improper car design. It was later admitted by the German testers that the car failed after an unusually high number of elk tests that had worn down the tires of the test car.

Marketing and production In markets where Renault has an existing presence, such as European, African and Asian countries (I.E. Romania, Ukraine, Hungary, Poland, Czech Republic, Croatia, Slovenia, Morocco, Lebanon, Syria, Turkey and many others) it is sold as the Dacia Logan.[2] Exceptions are Argentina, Russia, China, Colombia, Africa, Brazil and Venezuela where it is marketed as the Renault Logan. The Logan is vital to increasing sales of the Renault group to the 4 million mark by 2010. In India, the Logan is marketed under the "Mahindra" brand name; Renault will partner with Indian utility and commercial vehicles manufacturer Mahindra & Mahindra Limited. In Mexico, the Logan is sold as the Nissan Aprio, given the better reputation of the Japanese brand on the Mexican market.

The factory is unusual for a volume manufacturer in that it uses no robots. The low wages in Romania mean that the car would actually become more expensive if they were to switch to using robots. The factory employs 12,532 workers at an average salary of €360 a month. [5].
Models Logan MCV The Logan MCV (Multi Convivial Vehicle), launched at the 2006 Paris Motor Show, is the station wagon version of the Logan [6].
