This is the most anticipated launch of the year, with Logan being the best-selling car in Romania. The commercial launch of the new Logan on the Romanian market comes almost one month after the car was presented at the Paris Motor Show.
Production of the new-generation Logan started in the middle of last month, the first new model to be manufactured at the Romanian Mioveni plant after Dacia Duster’s launch in 2010. Dacia Lodgy and Dokker are manufactured in Tangiers, Morocco.
As for actual deliveries of the new Logan, they will officially start at the beginning of December, after the clunkers program ends on November 23.
“Considering that deliveries will start in December and that we are talking about a new model, the second-generation Logan will not be available through the clunkers program or at a discount,” said a sales agent of a Dacia dealer.
The price of the new Logan will most likely be higher than that of the current model, but the official price will only be released after the launch, according to Dacia dealers queried by ZF. The same strategy was adopted when the Duster SUV was launched, with its price being released only when the car hit the showrooms.
The only country where Logan prices have been released is France, at the Paris Motor Show, at the end of September – EUR7,700. Considering that in Romania Sandero costs almost EUR1,000 less than its EUR6,990 price in France, the new Logan will likely also cost around EUR6,700-EUR6,800, slightly higher than the EUR6,500 price of the current model.
