Already a big seller in Romania at least, the Dacia Logan got a facelift for 2008.
While both the exterior and the interior design were updated, the engines remained the same old versions.
4 years after the Logan’s launch, Dacia redesigned its flagship model to maintain the title of the best sold model obtained in 2005.
The subtle changes brought to the exterior design consisted of a new grille and a redesigned logo, as well as the chrome accents added to the grille for extra style.
The exterior mirrors were enlarged to provide a better view, while the front spoiler was restyled and thus increased the model’s dimensions by 4 cm.
From the back, the aileron became part of the trunk lid. The trunk size remained at the impressive 510 L, a record in its class.
For the interior, the Logan came with better quality materials and two-tone colors used for the dashboard to make it more attractive.
3 new cloth upholstery became available with the 2008 version.
Safety wise, the new Logan came with seatbelt pre-tensioners, frontal and side airbags and ABS.
The engines available were a 1.4-liter gasoline engine, a 1.5-liter diesel engineand a 1.6-liter engine that developed 105 hp.
Never designed to be a performance or a luxurious car, the Logan came with a starting price of around $6200, with the top version reaching around $10,200.
