Seven true seats and genuine versatility

A modern design that emphasizes the notion of space The combination of Dacia Logan MCV's clearly defined wheel arches, taut lateral lines and sculpted bonnet expresses both quality and strength and clearly reveals the model's Dacia Logan pedigree. Yet the new car also profits from the styling cues of Dacia Logan Steppe Concept which was unveiled at the 2006 Geneva Motor Show. Dacia Logan MCV stands out from the saloon version by its redesigned lower front bumper, while its wider air intake and new foglamp slots ensure an even more assertive personality. Dacia's brand identity is reinforced by the wider grille surround. Large side protective mouldings protect Dacia Logan MCV along narrow lanes and further underpin the notion of robustness. The body's waistline has been made more dynamic thanks to the rounded forms of the quarter lights, and the raised roof - complete with roof bars - suggests the car's outstanding interior volumes and sense of space.

At the rear, the combination of the rear light clusters' vertical lines and rounded forms emphasizes Dacia Logan MCV's modern styling, while the 60/40 split opening rear doors are an important practical feature.


Record interior volumes and room for up to seven adult passengers

The promise of Dacia Logan MCV's exterior styling is carried over to the car's interior. The estate version's longer wheelbase (+27cm compared with Dacia Logan) frees up even more space in addition to the saloon's already record volumes. Front shoulder and elbow room is equivalent to that of leading C-segment saloons (whose numbers include Renault Megane), yet it as at the rear that Dacia Logan MCV truly comes into its own. Available in seven-seater form, Dacia Logan MCV comfortably sits up to three adult passengers in its second row seats, plus a further two in the third-row seats. The two back-row seats can perfectly accommodate adults of the 95th percentile (>1.90m tall), a feat made possible thanks entirely to the car's rear-end design philosophy. With shoulder room of 1,421 and 1,287mm respectively and kneeroom of 170 and 174mm, the second and third-row seats are particularly comfortable, while passengers will also appreciate the exceptional headroom of up to 934mm for the middle-row seats. The naturally gen erously dimensioned windows ensure a bright, relaxing and convivial interior ambience. The opening quarter lights mean that third-row passengers can profit from a light breeze in warm weather. Finally, access to the third row seats couldn't be simpler. Passengers enter by the rear doors and the second row seat is easily tipped forward thanks to a single lever located at the top of the seatback. The manoeuvre is further facilitated by the retractable headrest.



Unrivalled load-carrying capacity

Dacia Logan MCV also boasts a record load-carrying capacity of 700 litres in five-seat trim and up to 2,350 litres with just two seats in place, a layout made possible thanks to the new car's remarkable modularity. Even with seven seats in place, Dacia Logan MCV's boot volume is still almost 200 litres, although there is no need to use the boot for storing small items since the total stowage space inside the cabin amounts to a generous 54 litres. With bins located both underneath the console and in the front and rear doors, plus map pockets and even space for a 1 1/2 litre bottle type within easy reach of third-row passengers, there is stowage space available wherever one is seated in the car. According to version, the rear row passengers also benefit from vast overhead stowage. The rear doors haven't been forgotten either since their inside panels incorporate a 2.15-litre stowage bin and retention net which are easily accessible when the rear doors are open. Acclaimed as an exploit at the time of its launch, Dacia proves once again with the introduction of Dacia Logan MCV that the tag was fully justified. Indeed, travelling in Dacia Logan MCV ensures a degree of conviviality and comfort previously unseen in Dacia Logan price bracket.
