Expert Rating

Dacia Logan MCV (2013 to 2020)

Not a current model

    Summary


    The Dacia Logan MCV (for Maximum Capacity Vehicle) was a small estate based on the Sandero hatchback. It was available as a regular version and a faux off-road specification called Stepway. Like the rest of the Sandero range, this generation ended production in 2020.

    Like most Dacias, the Logan models were priced significantly cheaper than any potential rivals, meaning that similarly-priced vehicles were much smaller and similarly-sized vehicles are much more expensive.

    The Dacia Logan received generally positive reviews from most of the UK motoring media throughout its production life, with the notable exception of Jeremy Clarkson. It was praised for its value for money, economical engines and enormous load space; however it was criticised for lacking considerable refinement compared to most new cars.

    Along with the rest of the Sandero range, production of this generation ended in late 2020 ahead of an all-new Sandero that arrived in the UK in early 2021. However, a new Logan MCV range to replace this model has not yet been announced.

    Notes on safety rating

    The Dacia Logan MCV was awarded a fairly average three-star safety rating from Euro NCAP back when this model was launched in 2014. However, this rating expired in January 2021 as the Logan no longer met the requirements for a three-star car. This is normal practice, as Euro NCAP reviews its ratings on most cars annually with most ratings expiring after about six or seven years.

    However, if you are comparing a used Dacia Logan MCV to vehicles of similar age, whose ratings will have probably also expired, its safety rating score is still useful.
