Sedan Or Hatchback: What Choose?

The only thing in which the tastes of the majority of compatriots converge are in the preference for the most popular car brand in Russia Renault, which is inferior in sales only to AvtoVAZ products.

Both the Renault Logan sedan and hatchback Sandero are produced on the same base, which means they are equally reliable and comfortable. In addition, they are about the same price group. What is the difference between these models in terms of design and operation?

Brothers, but not twins

"Logan" and "Renault Sandero" characteristics are quite close, which is not surprising for cars of the same class. The first most noticeable difference of these machines from each other (apart from different bodies) is that the Renault Sandero is built on a 42 mm shortened platform. In the interiors of the special differences can not be found: they are almost identical, starting with the panel and seats and ending with the opening of the front door. Renault Logan on the Russian market for a long time, but because of the ergonomics and design of its internal space, everyone has become accustomed to and many like it.

On the way to the distant with comfort

Since Logan and Sandero are budget cars, it is only natural that they are bought by middle-income people who have one car in the family. This means that such a car is used not only for trips to work or dacha, but also for traveling to the sea. From the standpoint of long-distance group trips, the Renault Logan sedan has the advantage, as it has a comfortable and largest in its class rear sofa. Because of the shortened platform, the Renault Sandero has a smaller rear seat. With respect to handling, both cars are very reliable (this factor is especially important when traveling on Russian roads).

Take everything with you

The advantages of these cars include the same ground clearance of one and a half hundred millimeters, high-quality protection of the motor and all pipelines on the bottom.

Continuing the theme of long trips, let us consider the luggage compartments of cars. At Renault Logan, the characteristics of the trunk are impressive: a volume of 510 liters and a wide opening. "Sandero" also has a luggage compartment of a smaller volume - 320 liters. But the hatchback has its advantages. Even when the trunk is full, Renault Sandero still has a spare tire attached to the bottom outside, but at Logan it is located under the trunk mat. The second plus: the trunk of the "Sandero" can be increased to 1320 liters, folding the back of the rear seat. In this case, carry the length gauge is easier than in the trunk of the "Logan".

What's under the hood?

The Renault Sandero has the same gasoline engines and transmission as the Renault Logan: it's a basic 75-horsepower engine, an eight-valve engine with 84 liters capacity. With., As well as a more taut flagship in the 16-valve version, including the automatic transmission. The first option is now rarely available on sale, but the engine with 102 "horses" becomes the norm. It is quite powerful and can accelerate to 100 km / h in 10.5 seconds. In some versions, there is a 1.5-liter diesel engine with a capacity of 75 and 90 liters. from.

Another small touch: all used on the Logan and Sandero engines have long been used on different models of Renault, so they are very well refined, they have virtually no "childhood diseases", like new products.

Image is nothing, practicality is everything!

As for the bodies of the sedan and the hatchback of budget Renault, a lot is said, with each restyling they have all the new virtues. This applies to improved headlights, more streamlined forms, optional moldings, etc. Traditionally, "Sandero" because of the more modern hatchback body today chooses a younger generation of car enthusiasts, and "Logan" is valued by adherents of traditional values and forms (usually men Middle and older). What to choose - a sedan or a hatchback is a matter of taste, the main thing is to choose the right equipment that Renault car is quite diverse.
