Here’s a car that should fulfill the automotive needs of most people (what we all want is a different matter altogether) – a large estate with a small price. The new Dacia Logan MCV (Max Capacity Vehicle) joins the Renault-owned brand’s budget Logan range, which already has the sedan, Sandero hatchback and Sandero Stepway.
The estate-bodied Dacia Logan MCV offers class-leading loading capacity with a boot that can take in 573 litres with the rear seats up, or 1,518 litres with them folded. The 4.49 metre-long wagon (430 mm longer than a Sandero) is capable of carrying items up to 2.7 metres long. A flexible and spacious interior at city car prices is the promise here.
The interior arrangement offers no less than 16 litres of stowage features, such as front and rear door bins, cubbies and a storage tray on top of the dashboard. The luggage compartment cover has a rigid upper section with additional interior stowage capability. The easy-to-use 2/3-1/3 split/folding rear bench, standard on all versions, adds versatility.
Like the new Logan and Sandero, the MCV comes with a choice of two petrol engines: 1.2 16v 75 and the brand new TCe 90, a three-cylinder turbo petrol unit that weighs 15 kg less than a conventional engine of equivalent power. This one does 20 km/l and 116 g/km emissions. There’s also the proven 1.5 dCi diesel that manages 90 hp, 26.3 km/l and 99 g/km.
UK order books for the Dacia Logan MCV open next month, with first deliveries from July. My ideal garage is one with an economical workhorse cum family car like the Logan MCV, leaving room for an impractical but exciting sports car for those itchy days. Not so easily achieved here, though.
Looking to sell your car? Sell it with Carro.
it reminds me of the good old Nissan AD Resort, albeit much better looking and bigger. love the idea of buying some cheap cars with good practical space inside.
How much does it cost when it comes to Malaysia ? Must be expensive…
Cool!
When can I buy here?
BTW Danny.
Get a used AD Resort or even a Citra with a Miata and you’d got a fun little combo.
I got a Citra…working on the Miata bit. :P
Good plan! :)
have both lor, get a volvo 850 R T5 lol
Think about, the Perodua Alza is actually a Myvi wagon with emergency two extra seats. I do think it is a good car. If you want a real wagon, there’s always a used Mercedes W124 230E T estate. I still want that Honda S2000.
The MCV has been around for several years. It was available as a 7 seater. Can easily fit tall people in the 3rd row (up to 1.90m or so…). Price started at around 8k Euro, including 20% tax. Not including air con, which was a RM 8000 option.
The facelift is a huge step forward in the looks department though. The original one was hardly attractive… Like a Grand Livina.
Looks like a nice all round car with plenty of space.
Dacia Logan Sport is beautiful and aggressive car with wonderful dynamics. I like its style and hope will be able to buy it soon, as for such car it is quite cheap and luxury.
