Stoll said that the production of the new Logan for the Russian market will start next year.

The new Logan model will be available for sale at the end of 2012 or at the beginning of next year, said Stoll, adding that Renault does not export cars to Russia but produces them there.

“We need time to start production in Russia in 2013,” Stoll highlighted.

Carlos Tavares, chief operating officer for Renault, said Tuesday Dacia will launch a new Sandero model, probably before the new Logan is introduced to the market.

Logan was launched on the market in 2004 and Sandero in 2008.

Automobile Dacia, owned by French group Renault, on Tuesday made the official world debut of its multipurpose vehicle Lodgy, at the 2012 Geneva Motor Show, which will go on sale in Romania as of March 7, at prices starting from EUR9,500, VAT included.
