Dacia Logan MCV Car: Safety Is A Fundamental Concern
Logan MCV benefits from Renault’s acclaimed expertise when it comes to safety. Like Logan, Logan MCV is built on the Alliance’s B platform, the active safety features of which have naturally been carried over to the new car.
The front suspension is based on the MacPherson-type layout featured on Clio II, while the reinforced rear suspension uses the same principle of a programmed deflection H-beam as the other models built on the same platform. The rear suspension is combined with spiral springs and extendedtravel, vertically-positioned dampers.
The brake system employs discs at the front and drums at the rear, while versions equipped with ABS come with the same latest-generation Bosch 8.0 system complete with Electronic Brakeforce Distribution (EBD) as that used for Megane II.
On the passive safety front, Logan MCV is in keeping with European standards and comes with up to four airbags. Two lateral font seat airbags will also become available as options at a later date. The airbags combine with programmed structural deformation for enhanced protection in case of impact from the side. The restraint system comprises three-point seatbelts with headrests for all seats, including the third row seats of sevenseater versions.
Logan MCV also comes with Isofix child seat anchorage points which can be mounted with the child’s back facing the direction of travel in the case of the outer second-row seats. All these systems would enable Logan MCV to easily obtain a three-star EuroNCAP crash-test rating.
