III (facelift 2022) Overview:

Dacia Logan (III (facelift 2022)). With 160 Nm of torque, it offers ample pulling power. Weighing only 1107 kg, it’s quite light. Front‑wheel drive delivers efficiency and easy handling.

Seating for 5 makes it ideal for daily use.

1.0 TCe (90 Hp) Manual 5-speed Verdict:

Rating 4 stars

Performance Verdict

Acceptable for city driving, but the 5-speed gearbox might feel less refined and strained on longer highway trips compared to the 6-speed.

Fuel Economy

Likely good for city driving, but potentially less efficient on highways due to higher revs at cruising speeds.

Best Use Case: Primarily city driving and short commutes where a 5-speed manual is sufficient.

Pros and Cons:

Pros:

  • • Exceptional value for money in its segment
  • • Generous boot space and practical interior design
  • • Good fuel economy from most engine options, especially the diesel
  • • Modernized exterior design after the facelift
  • • Reliable and straightforward mechanicals for low running costs

Cons:

  • • Basic interior materials and overall refinement compared to rivals
  • • Limited advanced safety features and a lower Euro NCAP rating
  • • Performance is adequate but not exhilarating, especially with CVT
  • • Some engine options (e.g., 5-speed manual, CVTs) can feel less refined
  • • Rear drum brakes on all trims
