Logan mcv 2nd generation. Station wagon Logan MSV, what's new? Logan MCV suspension

Since the station wagon is intended only for Europe, the engines are appropriate: a petrol 900 cc turbocharged engine with a power of 90 hp. and a 1.5 four-cylinder turbodiesel of the same power. Both work with a five-speed manual transmission, but for petrol versions you can order a simple Easy-R robot with one clutch. The drive, of course, is only front-wheel drive - otherwise it would turn out to be a competitor to the Dacia Duster crossover.

By the way, there was already a project for an “off-road” station wagon under the Dacia brand: in 2006, the evil Logan Steppe concept car saw the light of day, but the company never decided to mass produce such a car. Now the “off-road” station wagon Logan MCV has become the fourth model with the Stepway prefix. In addition to the well-known hatchback in Russia Sandero Stepway For Europeans, compact vans Dacia Lodgy and Dokker with a similar crossover body kit and increased ground clearance are also offered. Alas, we don’t get such variety in Russia: neither the Logan MCV station wagon nor single-volume cars will appear here.

Despite the fact that sales of the second generation station wagon Renault Logan MCV ( Dacia Logan MCV 2014 2015) most likely will not be on the territory of the Russian Federation, it makes sense to familiarize yourself with this car in as much detail as possible. The reason is simple: this car is an exact copy of the one being prepared for production. Let us recall that the presentation took place in Geneva in 2013; the station wagon is one of three representatives of the popular Logan family.

Station wagon exterior Renault Logan MCV 2014 2015 completely corresponds to the appearance of the entire family: calm outlines, precise proportions, solid wheel arches, a powerful bumper with a large air intake, like the rest of the series.

In general, the front part turned out to be quite attractive.

The food of the new budget station wagon from Renault deserves special praise, especially if you remember the frankly unsuccessful rear of its predecessor. The tailgate has become simply huge and opens upward; The side lights look great and do not interfere with the free space of the trunk. The compact rear bumper is recessed so deeply into the body that it is now virtually invisible. However, this innovation had a great impact on the ease of loading the luggage compartment.

Everything is in order even when viewed from the side: the roof falls smoothly back, the rear body panels are moderately swollen and stylish, the side window of the luggage compartment neatly tapers. We also note the expanded ability to select color options for the new station wagon: optional shades such as platinum gray, ice white, beige-ash, dark blue, light blue, black pearl and dark red have been added.

The general impressions of the exterior of the new station wagon are as follows: the Franco-Romanian alliance was able to draw the only correct conclusions from the unsuccessful decisions used in the first version of the car, and today we have the opportunity to see a good European station wagon, which, thanks to the solutions used in the exterior, can be considered one of the favorites in a budget class.

• The dimensions of the Dacia Logan MCV 2014 2015 have changed slightly: now the length of the station wagon is 4492 mm, width - 1733 mm, height - 1539 mm.
• The wheelbase is 2634 mm, ground clearance- 164 mm.
• Now Logan MSV has 185/65 R15 treads that fit on 15-inch steel wheels. Optionally, it is possible to install light alloy wheels.

The interior of the 2nd generation station wagon is an almost exact copy of the rest of the car series, but there is a characteristic feature: due to the specific structure of the universal body, the car received such a large luggage compartment volume that it is unlikely that any of the existing (and promising) European station wagons. If there are all the required 5-person “crew” on board the car, 573 liters of free cargo can easily be accommodated in the trunk. With the rear row of seats folded down, trunk space increases to 1,518 liters.

To fully appreciate this advantage, as an example, we will give the maximum luggage compartment volume of some representatives of the older C-class. So, the Seat Leon ST can fit 1470 liters, Volkswagen Golf 7 Variant will take on board 1620 hp. The only thing I didn’t like a little about the second series of the station wagon was the presence of only one version of the car - a five-seater, unlike its predecessor, which also offered a seven-seat version of the cabin.

In general, the interior turned out to be much more successful (apparently the mistakes made in the first series were also taken into account), and much more attractive. We also note the emergence of previously unavailable systems, which make the station wagon even more attractive to potential buyers.

In neighboring Ukraine, the station wagon is offered in three trim levels: the initial Base received very modest equipment. So the basic version has 2 front airbags, heating rear window, folding rear seats, satisfactory protection of the engine compartment and ABS is optional.

The average-cost Authentique package, in addition to the equipment available in the initial version, received a power steering that can be adjusted (height). There are also front electric windows, central locking, and a good audio system (CD, MP3, Bluetooth, radio, USB) - control buttons are located on the steering wheel. Optionally, ABS and side airbags, cruise control, and the MediaNAV multimedia system, including navigation, are provided. Among the additions to the car’s exterior, we note the presence of 15-inch alloy wheels, as well as fairly long roof rails.

The most expensive version of the Expression additionally (relative to the Authentique) has ABS, an on-board computer, a sensor responsible for measuring the outside temperature, electric windows on all doors, fog lights, and electric mirrors. We note the possibility of additionally purchasing rear parking sensors, a powerful multimedia system, side airbags, climate control and alloy wheels.

Renault Logan MSV 2014 2015 test drive video

Today we test drive the new Logan MCV station wagon with diesel engine 1.5 DCI. There are no MSVs for sale in Russia; we went for a test drive to Logan’s homeland, Romania. In Europe, a station wagon is in great demand with a diesel engine, there is a lot of space and low consumption, which is what Europeans need. An inexpensive large budget car for a family for a relatively small amount of money.

Let's start with design

The first Logan MCV was something of a compromise. The car was made on the stretched B0 platform of the Logan sedan and offered its customers the opportunity to buy a seven-seater car, but with a traditional station wagon design. The idea turned out to be successful: those who need a lot of cargo space can choose a five-seater option, and those who have a large family can choose a seven-seater. Offering more than just inferior seats in the last row. On which only children, as well as adults with a height of up to 180 cm, can sit comfortably, including for the knee space. Now we should forget about the previous generation station wagon, the new Logan 2 MSV has become an ordinary station wagon based on Logan 2.

At the rear, it still retains the idea of ​​the first generation, although, as a link, the brake lights are vertically styled and are a set of black plastics that extend onto the roofs. However, any other resemblance to the old MCV has been discarded and the new one takes a more modern approach to the estate.

Being an affordable and practical car, the overall design of the MCV is built around the space that the average family needs. Therefore, the rear of the car is not the largest in its class. The Logan MCV station wagon has become a car for everyday use and recreation.

Interior, what's new?

The new MCV has been designed to “carry the maximum load on a vehicle,” as the manufacturer states, which is especially true and to the point. Compared to the sedan, the MCV is longer, with a length of 4.49 meters, compared to 4.34 meters for the Logan. This means that while the Logan sedan has a huge trunk - 510 liters, the MSV has 573 liters with the rear seats and 1518 liters when folded. The greatest strength of this vehicle is that it can load objects up to 2.7 meters in length.

Although loading may be the main point of buying a station wagon (price, of course, comes first), Renault did not compromise by increasing trunk volume. Also offering space for five adults. The big minus of the previous generation was a modest interior and a limited selection of options, which cannot be said about the second generation.

Just like in any modern car, we can opt for the MediNav touchscreen multimedia system: with audio and video support, navigation, Bluetooth connectivity, cruise control and other gadgets that we take for granted in our cars now. And this, for a brand that kept its prices low, is a really big step.

Of course, it’s not all rosy and roses have thorns. In order for the price of the Logan MCV to remain the same, it was necessary to use cheap hard plastic. One of the advantages is now an adjustable steering column.

Engine, gearbox, fuel consumption

During the test, the Logan MCV was equipped with one of the most famous engines in Renault, a 1.5 DCI diesel with a power of 90 hp. Such engines are installed on Duster in Russia. The engine has been slightly modified, with the same power and increased torque to achieve smooth acceleration.

The engine itself has become quieter, which also contributes to better sound insulation in the car and is more balanced. Few vibrations reach the pedal or shift lever. These overall improvements have added to the comfort of the car.

One of the best in its segment from Renault, the 1.5 DCI diesel engine has become even more economical. Official data from the manufacturer shows that the average fuel consumption for the Logan MCV is 4.4 l/100 km, of course, if there is no driver behind the wheel. During our test drive of the Logan MSV station wagon with three adults on board and at high speeds, consumption was 5 l/100 km - and this was without the help of the Eco Mode function. If you want even lower mileage, you can always turn on a feature that will adjust certain engine settings and climate control settings - but you should be aware that this will have a significant impact on the car's speed.

The 1.5 diesel engine is mated to a five-speed manual gearbox, which is also found on the Duster. Reliable and a great match for this engine, and fifth gear is very long and well suited for long distance country trips.

Loading, safety

Logan MCV pretty big car for its class, touching upon compact offerings from other manufacturers. Exterior mirrors are large enough. Behind the wheel, you don’t feel particularly comfortable due to the dimensions when you back up, especially in crowded parking lots. The car does not have very large viewing angles when driving in reverse. Luckily, you can install parking sensors to help you in such situations.

In management it is family car, the suspension is proven and familiar. Provides a smooth ride for passengers in almost all conditions. The car inherited it from the previous generation; the shock absorbers are tuned for comfort. The steering wheel has become a little sharper, the car holds the road better at speed, and with ESP the Logan MCV forgives minor driver mistakes. At speed there is a slight roll when rolling sideways.

A little about safety, the MCV inherited the body from Logan, and the Euro NCAP crash test result of four stars is not the best result, but certainly not disgraceful. In our configuration, the station wagon is equipped with ASR and ESP, as well as four airbags as standard equipment.

Prices and configurations Logan MCV

In Romania, the price of a Logan MCV with a 1.5 DCI diesel engine, 6 manual transmissions, 4 airbags, MediaNAV, ASR and ESP, climate control costs 587,000 rubles.

Our short review of the Logan MCV: what we like / what we don’t like

Pros:

• The price of Renault Logan MCV in the new body is very competitive in this car segment.
• The space is one of the best, comfortably accommodates 5 people.
• The diesel engine is modest, well balanced and provides good overall performance with low consumption.
• Also, the buyer now has a lot more options to choose from.
• The design of the car looks more modern.

Of the minuses:

• The platform on which the Logan MCV station wagon is built is already outdated. It is reliable, unpretentious, but drum brakes are a thing of the past. But for this segment, quality and reliability are most important, above all.

And now, on its basis, a second-generation Logan MCV station wagon has been built, which debuted under the Dacia brand at the 2013 Geneva Motor Show.

Unlike its predecessor, which is sold in Russia as , the new Logan MSV will henceforth be exclusively five-seater. Its overall length is 4,490 mm, which is 430 mm more hatchback Sandero 2.

Sales of the second generation of the budget Logan sedan in Europe started much earlier than in Russia - the first cars arrived at dealers at the end of last year, but under the name Dacia Logan. This car is produced in Romania and has some differences from the “Russian” version, which we will talk about.

Externally, the Dacia Logan II sedan is absolutely identical to the Russian version, with the exception of one minor detail: the badge on the radiator grille. Otherwise, there are no special changes, including in dimensions, but it is possible that Logan for Russia will receive slightly different bumpers.

The interior of the Dacia Logan is also in many ways similar to its “twin brother” Renault, but the front panel in Europe is offered in a different design: instead of rectangular ventilation holes, stylish round ones are used, and the climate control unit has a different, more ergonomic layout. Among other differences, we note the use of a steering wheel of a less pleasant design (at least in some ways Russian version better).

If speak about technical specifications, then the main difference between Dacia Logan and Russian version Logan lies in the line of engines. In Europe it is much wider and the main role here is played by a new 0.9-liter turbocharged power unit capable of producing 90 hp. power and 135 Nm of torque. The engine has 3 cylinders, 12 valves and is distinguished by decent efficiency: for 100 km, the new Dacia Logan with this engine in “Eco” mode consumes about 5.3 liters of gasoline. In addition, Dacia Logan 2nd generation in Europe is offered with gasoline engine volume of 1.2 liters and a power of 75 hp, as well as two 1.5-liter diesel engines with a power of 75 and 90 hp, having an average fuel consumption of four liters. All engines used comply with the requirements of the Euro-5 environmental standard, while power units of the Euro-4 standard are supplied to Russia. The transmission line in Europe is the same: 5-speed manual and 4-speed automatic.

In Europe, Dacia Logan 2 is also offered in three configuration options, but they are called differently: basic equipment received the name “Acces”, followed by “Ambiance”, and the top-end “Laureate” equipment completes the list.

Already in the initial configuration, it is available to European buyers ABS system and system directional stability ESP with TCS function, which in Russia is not offered at all, even as an additional option. In addition, in the “Acces” package, the second generation Dacia Logan is equipped with side airbags and front seats with longitudinal adjustment.
The Ambiance package includes higher-quality seat upholstery, automatic air conditioning, adjustable headrests, body-color bumpers, wheel covers and fog lights.
The maximum “Laureate” configuration adds heated mirrors, an improved instrument panel, adjustable front seat belts, leather upholstery of seats and steering wheel, on-board computer, as well as a 7-inch touchscreen multimedia system.

The price for the Dacia Logan sedan 2013 model year in Europe starts at 6,690 euros.
