Dacia Logan facelift

In addition to the refreshed Sandero, Sandero Stepway and Jogger, Dacia also showed off the facelifted Logan for the 2026 model year.

In terms of design, the updated Logan gets a new light signature in the shape of an inverted "T" at the front, linked to the grille and its thin line of white pixel-like dots, which stand out clearly against the black grille. The bumper is also new, as are the wheels and several colors.

With a focus on efficiency, robustness, and affordability, the 2026 Dacia Logan maintains its leading position in markets where traditional sedans are still popular, especially in Eastern Europe. The facelift brings a modern look that combines functional style with today's technology, reinforcing Dacia's commitment to intelligent simplicity and value for money.

The updated Logan also gets a new Eco-G 120 powertrain, the first LPG powertrain available with an automatic transmission. This powertrain comes with a more powerful 1.2-liter three-cylinder turbo petrol engine, producing 120 hp, combining all the advantages of LPG with an automatic 6-speed transmission.

It's worth noting that, unlike the Dacia Jogger and Sandero Stepway, which have hybrid versions (like the Hybrid 155), the Logan isn't expected to receive a hybrid powertrain until 2026, maintaining its focus on updated internal combustion engines.

The existing TCE one-liter three-cylinder turbo petrol engine now delivers 100 hp, compared to the previous 90 hp, for improved everyday driving.

In some markets, the SCe 65 petrol engine remains, paired with a 5-speed manual transmission.

Updated Engines and a Focus on Efficiency...The 2026 Dacia Logan features important new features under the hood, expanding the engine offering to optimize performance and economy. The most basic engine is the TCe 100, a 1.0-liter turbocharged three-cylinder engine delivering 100 horsepower, paired with a six-speed manual transmission. This version represents an improvement over the previous engine, which offered 90 horsepower, resulting in better performance for daily commuting and highway driving.

Another updated option is the Eco-G 120 engine, a 1.2-liter turbocharged unit that can also run on LPG (liquefied petroleum gas). Now, in addition to 120 horsepower, this engine is paired with a six-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission—a first for this model. The LPG tank has been increased from 40 to almost 50 liters, increasing range by about 20%, which is excellent for those seeking economy and a lower environmental impact without sacrificing range.

Inside, new dashboard air vents feature an inverted T design, like a light signature. The dashboard and front doors receive a new blue trim, while more durable fabrics are present on the seats, dashboard and doors, giving the interior a pleasant look.

The interior of the 2026 Dacia Logan was designed to offer comfort and practicality to its occupants. A key focus was the selection of durable materials, such as the new black seat fabrics, which ensure resistance to wear and tear during everyday use. Higher-end versions feature Micro-TEP upholstery, combining sophistication with easy maintenance.

The dashboard and doors feature blue fabric inserts, adding a touch of modernity and casualness to the interior without being overdone. The steering wheel, in turn, has been ergonomically redesigned to increase driver comfort, making the driving experience less tiring, especially on long journeys.

The new Logan is also equipped with a new multimedia system with a 10-inch central screen and connected navigation, as well as an induction phone charger. The multimedia system now comes with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.

Customers looking for even greater driving comfort and safety can now opt for three new features: automatic headlights, a Multi-view camera and electrically folding door mirrors.
