Dacia has been making the third-generation Logan since 2019, so a facelift is in order. Although the sedan, which is essentially a sibling to the Sandero, already received a light refresh in 2022, it’s now due for another round of refinements, this time bringing more noticeable visual changes.

The styling tweaks made to the new Logan aren’t expected to be significant, but they’ll still be noticeable. These new renderings depict the tweaked Logan with an overall design that’s very familiar, but does include minor updates to the front and rear fascias, based on changes visible on recently spied prototypes testing in Europe.

The changes, as imagined by artist Nikita Chuyko from Kolesa, start at the front. Dacia appears set to slightly shrink the size of the central grille, meaning it’ll be exactly the same height as the headlights, allowing for a more congruent design. Speaking of the headlights, they’ll also be updated, and the shape of the DRLs will be tweaked.

Additionally, Dacia appears to be relocating the fog lights, positioning them slightly higher on the bumper and installing them within revised black plastic housings. Completing the visual changes to the Logan’s front end could be a new lower grille.

As this is only a subtle facelift, the rest of the car’s bodywork should remain untouched. Alterations made at the rear could be limited to updated taillights with new LEDs.

Powertrain Carries Over

No major mechanical changes are anticipated. The revised Logan is, of course, still using the Renault Group’s CMF-B modular platform and sticks with the familiar 1.0-liter three-cylinder turbocharged engines that offer up to 100 hp.

Very similar updates are expected for the new Dacia Sandero, which has also been spotted with new headlights and a more streamlined grille. The Jogger wagon isn’t being left out either, with its own refresh reportedly in the works.
