Review of Renault Logan 2013

New Renault Logan 2013 - without exaggerationsign model for domestic motorists. The first Logan was issued under the motto "We save on everything". However, due to the excellent combination of consumer qualities and reasonable prices, the car has long occupied a leading position in the sale of foreign cars of CIS countries. And now, eight years after the presentation of the first Logan, which brought the company a considerable profit on sales, Renault launched the second generation of the model - Renault Logan 2013. It became a head taller in almost all respects. Gone is the minimalism of decoration, simplified to the unification of the form, the lack of character in the design. Wheel arches are delineated by spectacular vyshtampovkami on the sides of the body, modern and beautiful optics, aggressive front design, echoing the latest models of the brand Renault. The new Renault Logan 2013 looks modern and recognizable at the same time. Attention to the same design is noticeable in small things. For example, if in the first Logan the side mirrors, for the sake of economy, were the same left and right, then in the new one they are full-featured design elements with built-in repeaters of direction indicators.

Inside, the changes are even more striking. What the interior designers of Renault have managed to do with the simplistic pattern of the first Logan provokes a genuine surprise. Of course, the finishing materials are still inexpensive, but the beautiful instrument panel of the chrome edging, the modern climate control unit, which finally moved to a convenient place in the middle of the center console, amazes. Full-value door cards, a radio with the ability to listen to MP-3 files, Bluetooth, USB - all this is already present in the basic version of Renault Logan 2013. This allows you to forget that you are in a budget, extremely functional car. What can I say about equipping the top versions? They include climate and cruise control, a nice leather steering wheel, an on-board computer and so on. And for a small fee in any Logan, you can order the previously unbelievable feature on budget cars - a multimedia system with a color touch screen and built-in cartography of Russian roads. What else can not be missed is the fact that there is still a huge stock of space behind the ceiling and up to the backs of the front seats. At the same time, the rear dimensions of the trunk remain, and you can increase the volume by folding the backs of the rear seats.

In the move, the Renault Logan 2013 is very similar to the modelfirst generation. All the same dense and impenetrable suspension, easily swallowing unevenness of any caliber, huge clearance for the car, allowing not to worry about the condition of the road surface. Manageability is still logical, reliable and predictable. Moderate rolls, tenacious brakes, distinct gear changes with a convenient lever and traditionally large strokes. All this leads to the fact that Logan is used to managing almost instantly. In general, from the point of view of the driver, this car has become much ergonomic and more pleasant to handle. The only censure is the lack of longitudinal adjustment of the steering column. However, even without it, Logan's equipment exceeded all expectations at its low cost.

Let's enumerate in Renault Logan technicalcharacteristics. As for the engines, their range is completely updated. The basic for Logan is now a gasoline power unit with a capacity of 1.2 liters and its version, adapted for operation on liquefied gas. Under the hoods of cars of medium and top equipment can be either a 1.6-liter gasoline engine, with a capacity of 80 forces, or an 84-hp turbo diesel.

And, finally, the main thing. It is inconceivable that with such a global improvement of the car, the manufacturer managed to maintain the previous price. And even the increased technical characteristics of Renault Logan did not allow it to be modified too. The base Logan 2013 is estimated at a modest 12 thousand dollars, and hardly any of the competitors will be able to offer so much for such money in the near future.
