This new Dacia Logan will join the new Dacia Sandero at the Paris motor show.

The Logan, a four-door notchback that kick started Dacia’s rapid growth in the last decade under Renault ownership, is not destined for UK sales when the brand is launched here in January 2013. The Sandero and Duster will be the initial models in the Dacia UK line-up.

The front-end styling of the new Logan is shared with the Sandero, and is inspired by the larger Duster. Dacia has tried to highlight the Logan’s robustness with a sculpted waistline and more prominent wheel arches. The result is a chunkier, more characterful look.

The interior of the new Sandero is largely mirrored in the new Logan; quality and design have both been improved.

Underpinning the Logan is the same B0 platform as the rest of the Dacia range. Full details of the engine line-up will be confirmed at the Paris motor show.
