This new facelifted look for the Dacia Logan was first shown on its five-door variant, the Renault Sandero. The facelift attempts to give the Logan a less cheapo look, and is inspired by the hatchback variant but is not exactly the same as the headlamps, bumper and grille are all different.
Under the skin the mechanicals are the same as before, with engine choices ranging from three petrol models (75 PS 1.4, 87 PS 1.6 and 105 PS 1.6) and two diesel models (68 PS 1.5 dCi and 85 PS 1.5 dCi).

simple nice car…dun really like the shape of the window frame tho…the rear hasnt changed much i guess..cos i saw the older model last year…the back looks abt the same…
logan…no wonder the grille has wolverine’s blades haha
errr…this car, somehow has an eerie resemblance to our 2nd generation Proton Saga
Somehow it look nicer tahn the current Waja.
Are there any company bringing in the Dacia Logan Paul?..Abiss la Proton if they come to our shore…
By d way Paul, tis is totally out of the topic..need to know a few things about Hybrid cars …
1) Are there many service centre in Malaysia providing Hybrid engine services?
Apart from Honda n Toyota whom bringing in the Hybrid models
2) Are the service charges n parts expensive?
3) Is it possible to take ur personal imported hybrid cars say a Honda, for a service at any of local honda branch?
4) How about the import tax?..is it expensive to bring one in?
Hope u or anyone can enlighten me …thanx a lot.
poxxue, even if the logan came into malaysia, i’m pretty certain proton will face no problems. what makes you think it will kill proton? it is still after all, a renault.. see any new renaults on the road lately? actually.. see many new french cars on the road lately?
as for the logan, i have no doubts about it being a good decent car for the money. i personally wouldnt mind having one as a runabout.
ya la..true also..come to think of it…french cars dont have good 2nd value pun…but what I meant was ..only abiss in terms of competition je …u know..it being continental n all…n having to share the market…rite now..they:re like really comfortable kan…tu je la..hehe..
Rumors has it that the Savvy platform is based on a reverse engineered previous generation renault clio platform, as is the Logan. This might explain why the logan looks very similar to the BLM, although proton should be proud the new logan dashboard looks like it is copied from the BLM (which was launched 1st before this logan facelift).
for me, BLM is much better if term of exterior looks…
Its definitely resembles Proton Saga 2nd gen.
Proton Saga generasi kedua memang tiru model ini (Renault Logan)…
Enjin pun berkongsi jugak…Enjin Campro bukan buatan Malaysia sepenuhnya…
This looks more upmarket, it’s been Rover-ised I think.
if only the proton saga looked this good

“Proton Saga generasi kedua memang tiru model ini (Renault Logan)…

i thought this was an automotive forum, and not a “creative” writing forum…?
1.so you are saying the new saga conceived almost 2 years ago and launched in jan08 copied this renault which just launched?
2. new saga sharing same engine as logan??(please note logan only comes with 1.4 engine and above, must be a bored out, or long-stroked 1.3 campro)
3. so which country designed and built the campro? singapore?
another case of pulling facts out of your “behind”.
Methinks the 1.4 is a Renault (coz they specialise in cheap but cheerful small efficient engines) while the 1.6 is a Nissan from Latio. It looks weird coz they target the 3rd world and emerging markets. Which don’t really care about looks, but more on practicality and low life cycle costs. It looks weird because they took from their existing parts bin. See the wide panoramicish camera long shots? To minimise view of panle gaps.
Its also an indication this car is thin and tall like the Latio. Please don’t mention the Latio is an early model Logan. It would offend current owners. Oh $#i+! I just did a picture comparison and it does!
