Dacia Logan overview
Editorial context for design, cabin, performance, practicality, and buyer notes.
Design
The exterior styling of the 2012 Dacia Logan marks a clear step forward from the boxier look of its predecessor. It features a updated front grille, redesigned headlights, and refreshed bumpers at both the front and rear. The body panels have been smoothed out to create a more contemporary silhouette. With a ground clearance of 155 mm and a total length of 4,346 mm, it balances compact exterior dimensions with a stable presence on the road. The revised styling details help the sedan look more integrated and modern while retaining its robust, utility-focused character.
Interior
Inside, the 2012 Dacia Logan offers a basic and durable cabin designed to maximize space for five passengers. The updated dashboard features a cleaner layout, and higher-spec trims can be equipped with a color touchscreen on the center console that handles navigation, radio, and audio streaming. While the focus remains on budget-friendly materials that are easy to clean, the fit and finish are improved over the previous generation. The primary highlight of the cabin is its luggage space, with a boot capacity of 510 liters, which is exceptionally generous for this class of vehicle.
Performance
The engine lineup for the 2012 model features a downsized 0.9-liter (899 cc) three-cylinder turbocharged TCe petrol engine. Utilizing a low-inertia turbocharger, this engine produces 90 horsepower and 135 Nm of torque at 2,500 rpm, allowing a 0-100 km/h acceleration time of 11.1 seconds and a top speed of 175 km/h. Alternatively, a 1.2-liter four-cylinder engine is available, producing 75 horsepower and 107 Nm of torque, which can also be configured to run on LPG. Both engines are paired with a five-speed manual transmission driving the front wheels.
Practicality
For daily tasks, the 2012 Logan is highly practical. Its 510-liter boot is among the largest in the B-segment, offering ample room for family luggage and groceries. The cabin comfortably accommodates five occupants with reasonable headroom and legroom. Navigating rough roads is made easier by the 155 mm ground clearance. A 50-liter fuel tank combined with efficient downsized engines ensures a long driving range, with the 0.9 TCe engine consuming 5.0 liters per 100 km on the mixed cycle.
Safety and tech
Technology features in the second-generation Logan include the availability of a central color touchscreen display for navigation and audio control in higher trim levels. The 0.9 TCe variant complies with Euro V emissions standards, while the 1.2-liter version complies with Euro IV. Standard safety equipment is basic, in line with the vehicle's budget positioning. Where available, diesel variants can also be configured with a fuel-saving automatic Start-Stop system.
Buyer notes
Buyers comparing models will find a notable difference in performance and running costs between the engine options. The 0.9 TCe is significantly more responsive and efficient, with a mixed-cycle consumption of 5.0 liters per 100 km compared to 5.8 liters for the 1.2-liter unit. Equipment availability, particularly the central touchscreen display, varies by market and trim level, meaning buyers should carefully verify the exact specification of pre-owned models.
