The next generation of the Logan model, “codenamed” X90, will be entirely designed in Romania, by the engineers working with Renault Technologie Roumanie (RTR) and this will also be Renault group’s first car designed from scratch by Romanian engineers.
Romanian engineers are already working on the future Logan, set
to be launched on the market in two or three years.
Designing the new Logan will thus be the next stage for the
Romanian engineering centre, which is also in charge with designing
50% of Duster project.
About the new Logan, Philippe Prevel, former head of RTR now
handling the Logan programme globally, says it will have lower
production costs, which would also lead to a lower price. At
present, the cheapest Logan costs 6,250 euros, so that a possible
price reduction would drive the car closer to the “5,000-euro
model”, under which the brand was launched in 2004.
“We’ll seek the simplest solutions and equip the car exactly with
what clients need, nothing more”, Prevel said.
