DACIALogan 2 2012 - 2016

　　After eight years on the market, the Logan finally got a successor that fixed most of the problems encountered in this car's first generation.

　　In 2012 Dacia unveiled the second generation of the Logan at the Paris Motor Show. Europe already knew this brand and nameplate since it was sold well during the 2008 world financial crisis. Moreover, the automaker listened to its customers and introduced more features and amenities for the car.

　　Not paying the exterior design team with lunch money paid off, and the second generation of the Logan got a nicer exterior. Thus, the headlights were slightly swept-back, and the two-slat grille was adorned with chromed elements. In addition, both the front and rear fenders showed a muscular stance due to their flared stance. In addition, the flush door handles and the door mirrors' caps were body-colored for a much more modern look.

　　Some of the most significant upgrades were for the car's interior, which provided room for five adult passengers, and a 60/40 split-folding rear bench. Yet, the front seats were still flat and covered with cheap fabric. For the dashboard, Dacia chose a new design with organic shapes and silver trims. In addition, as an option, the Romanian automaker offered an option for a touchscreen infotainment system on the center stack. Even though it wasn't mounted in the most accessible position, it was still an improvement compared with Logan's previous generation.

　　Under the hood, the automaker relied on Renault-sourced engines, either gasoline or turbo-diesel. All versions sent their power to the front wheels via a five-speed manual transmission. Later on, Dacia offered an option for an in-house developed robotized, single-clutch, automatic gearbox.
