The Logan's diesel engine isn't particularly quiet but that's more due to insufficient sound-deadening material around. The engine is very impressive while driving and the light turbo works well making the mill extremely responsive. The gearshift is pretty slick and the cleverly spaced out ratios should maximise fuel economy. In Europe's combined-cycle fuel consumption tests, the Logan achieved 4.7 litres per 100km or 21.3kpl! Even if you discount that figure by 30 percent, you are looking at a highly fuel-efficient car. Add to that a 50-litre fuel tank, and this means a range that can take you from Bangalore to Mumbai on a single fill! Besides fuel efficiency that is the Logan's strength, the car has been designed to keep running costs low with generous warranties and long service intervals, which the Indian variant should adopt as well.
