Logan, Sandero and Megane are some of the most popular Renault models in Russia. And not only in it: under various names these machines are produced and sold in many countries of the world. In our country, all three models are assembled at the Avtoframos plant in Moscow.
Instructions
Step 1
First of all, pay attention to the class and price of the cars. If Logan and Sandero belong to the budget class B, then the Megane belongs to class C. This means that in the basic configuration Logan and Sandero cost a little less than 400 thousand rubles. In the maximum configuration, these cars cost just over half a million. Prices for Megane in the budget version start at 650 thousand.
Step 2
The next step is to compare engines and equipment levels. Top configurations Logan and Sandero, as well as budgetary configuration Megane are equipped with the same engines with minor differences in power. All gearboxes are mechanical, 5-speed. Dynamic indicators also differ slightly. By the way, despite the identical power units, Megane turned out to be 5-6% more economical car.
Step 3
The level of equipment of the Megane, even in the basic configuration, is not inferior to the Sandero and Logan models in the top versions, which is not surprising if you look at the class and price of the compared cars. All three are equipped with ABS and two airbags, air conditioning, power steering, on-board computers, steering column adjustments, heated electric mirrors, power windows, heated front seats, central locks and immobilizers.
Step 4
In terms of practicality, opinions are mixed. The Logan and Sandero have the highest ground clearance - 155 mm. Megane has a clearance of 120 mm, which is clearly not enough for Russian operating conditions. The Logan trunk has a very high volume for its class - 510 liters. The Sandero and Megane have more modest boot sizes: 320 and 368 liters, respectively. But these hatchbacks have the ability to fold the rear seats, which significantly increases the volume of cargo space. Logan has no such advantage.
Step 5
Appearance. From the point of view of most consumers, the Logan did not have a very good design. Sandero and Megane won big on the extremes. But since 2014, the new Logan has gone on sale with an updated design and, importantly, at the same prices. Therefore, all three cars now have a modern and original appearance.
