The engine of the new Renault Logan in Russia it has one volume of 1.6 liters, but two versions with 8 and 16 valves. Accordingly, the power of one power unit is 82 hp, the other is 102 horses. The piston diameter and stroke are the same for these power units, the difference is hidden in the cylinder head. One cylinder head has one camshaft, a more powerful engine has two camshafts.
These power units are already well known to buyers of the old version of Renault Logan. In Europe, these outdated engines have been replaced with smaller and modern engines, the fuel consumption of which is significantly lower. So European buyers of the new Logan are offered 4-ex and 3-cylinder engines with a working volume of only 1.2 and 0.9 liters, respectively. The first motor has 16 valves, and the three-cylinder has 12 valves. Plus, the time-tested Renault diesel engine with a working volume of 1.5 liters, all these engines are very economical, although not so powerful.

It is worth noting that the real consumption of power units in urban conditions of the new Renault Logan is much greater. Keeping within 10-11 liters is quite difficult, especially if there are several other passengers in the sedan, besides the driver.
Gearbox Renault Logan 2, this is a mechanical unit that also stood on the system version of Logan. The front-wheel drive transmission of the state employee is quite reliable and provides good car handling on the bad roads of our country. Don't forget about the impenetrable suspension

Technically, the new Logan remained the same, the main components and assemblies migrated from the old version of the car. But everything else added the ability to install new security systems, climate control, cruise control, a multimedia system with a large touch screen, seat height adjustment. By the way, now the rear seats fold in proportions of 70 to 30, providing additional opportunities for transporting oversized cargo. In general, updating the budget sedan made Logan in a new body more practical and modern, at a very affordable price.
Renault Logan is a car that is known to every Russian motorist. This is not surprising, because, according to official data, it is he who is on one of the leading steps in terms of the number of copies sold per year. The most popular engine options for this machine are 1.6-liter units with 8 and 16 valves, and today we will talk about them.
Passport data
It is noteworthy that both versions of the power units have the same volume, equal to 1.6 liters. However, the difference in the number of valves had a huge impact on the difference in performance and fuel consumption of these two versions. So, the motor 1.6 - 8 cells. has a power of 82 hp. and 115 units of torque, and the 1.6 engine - 16 cells. has a power of 102 forces and a torque of 138 newton meters.
At the same time, fuel consumption in the combined cycle will be approximately the same and amounts to just over 7 liters per 100 kilometers. The maintenance schedule for both engines is approximately the same, but the reviews of the owners who purchased Renault Logan with "mechanics" and "automatic" differ radically from each other.
This is easily explained by the fact that both motors have different performance and technical characteristics and at the same time have different reliability, uptime and other passport data.
Dynamics
A superficial look at performance and a study of the reviews of Renault Logan owners with a 1.6 engine shows that, despite the equal volume, engines with 8 and 16 valves behave differently on a car of the same configuration. So, the 8-valve design, especially when paired with an automatic transmission, greatly reduces the actual capabilities of the chassis and makes the car a real "city vegetable".
« Andrew. Ownership - 2 years. I decided not to go far from the golden mean and took a Renault Logan with a 1.6 - 8 cell engine. Of course, this is better than less powerful options that will make the car very slow and clumsy, but 16-cl. the design makes the sedan a much more dynamic vehicle. For example, my acceleration reaches more than 12 seconds, taking into account the use of a 4-speed automatic, this figure increases by several more units.
It is interesting that on the network you can find quite a few reviews of Renault Logan owners with the most powerful and dynamic engine option. " Artem. Ownership - 1 year. I have a Logan with a 102 hp engine. In principle, I am satisfied: the car has already driven 20,000 kilometers without a single breakdown. The only thing is to carefully monitor the regulations and the quality of the gas station, which you visit most often. A friend on a 102-horsepower engine burned out a piston because of this. Fuel consumption is kept at around 8-9 liters, according to the manufacturer, this is within the normal range.
Reliability
When considering motors with 82 and 102 hp. on board, one should not forget about the key indicator for the car's power plants, their reliability. In other words, the reviews of the owners of Renault Logan will clearly let you know what is the experience of operating engines with these configurations and what surprises should be feared on long trips.
« Evgenia. Ownership - 2 years. I have a motor with 102 forces and with 16 cells. At first, it seemed to me that the car was unrealistically powerful: I definitely did not expect such a potential from Renault Logan. But over time I got used to it and now I can say with confidence that 102 forces pull the car out only thanks to mechanics - an automatic machine would definitely not be able to cope with such work. When driving on the highway, the engine overheated twice, the car is afraid of high speeds.
Interestingly, among the reviews of drivers who have already tried 8 cells. and 16 cells. motors, there are many who prefer an automatic to any other type of transmission. " Oleg. Ownership - 8 months. I have 8 cells. 1.6 engine. I drive mostly around the city, so I consider the machine an indispensable thing for me. Although the speed is only 4, in the city, there is enough power for the eyes. The most powerful engine is useless here, and its fuel consumption will be slightly higher.
transmissions
It is well known that engines of 8 cells. and 16 cells. with different types of gearboxes, whether it be a manual transmission or a classic automatic transmission, will behave differently, even with the same power, engine oil filled in and other conditions that may affect the dynamic characteristics of the car.
« Alexei. Ownership - 3 months. I have a Renault Logan with a 16 cl engine. and 102 horsepower. I think that an automatic machine is categorically contraindicated for such a machine. It is this transmission model that has only 4 speeds and is obsolete: such a pair under the hood can greatly reduce the actual capabilities of the machine and make its power equivalent to 8 cells. mechanical motor. In addition, the machine requires a complete or partial replacement of transmission oil, and such a service in my city costs a lot of money, and as a result, this can increase the cost of maintaining the car several times.
By the way, many drivers consider another disadvantage of the machine to be a faster waste of the resource of the components of the power unit along with more expensive repairs.
« Ephraim. Ownership - 1 year. I had a car with an 82 hp engine. and 8 cells. type with automatic transmission. Since the car was bought for work, it soon had to be changed due to fuel consumption disproportionate to any passport indicator. On the motor 82 hp with an 8-valve design, according to the on-board computer, this figure exceeds 12 liters. Now I drive a car with 16 cells. engine and has never been able to exceed the figure of 10 liters per hundred. By the way, the maintenance of the transmission, unlike the machine, is almost twice cheaper, there is something to think about.
Summing up
Logan with a 1.6 engine with 8 and 16-valve design is a modern, economical and dynamic car. For a city dweller, an automatic transmission is suitable, which will greatly facilitate movement in traffic jams, and mechanics will allow you to achieve the maximum potential of the car on the highway and save on gasoline and maintenance. At the same time, a less powerful version of the motor is also more suitable for city life, while as a “top-end” unit it is perfect for driving on the highway.
Who would have known that a trip on it will give so many emotions! And not only me: you can’t count the astonished drivers of passing cars who saw how easily and naturally I started from a traffic light at the forefront of the stream - after all, Logans, as a rule, do not get involved in such battles. But my car is completely different. Under the hood is a 1.6-liter 16-valve engine with 102 hp. This is 15 "horses" more than the eight-valve of the same volume, which was the most powerful in the range. It seems to be a small increase, but it was enough for the character of the sedan to change dramatically.
Unlike the original motor, which does not “live” at above-average speeds, this unit loves to be turned. At low speeds, the 1.6-liter engines behave similarly, but after 3000 rpm, the 16-valve engine has a noticeable pickup - the car wakes up as quickly as it accelerates rapidly. Run from standstill to 100 km / h, according to factory data, - 10.5 s. Against the background of the usual Logan, such dynamics are like a beat in the timpani after a thin ringing of a bell. Perhaps not many models in this price category can boast of greater agility. Of course, I won’t call a sports car, but the fact that a sedan is able to light a spark in the driver’s heart is absolutely certain.
It is gratifying that in terms of economy, the 102-horsepower modification outperforms the 87-horsepower one. For 100 km of city driving, it requires 9.4 liters of fuel versus 10 liters for an eight-valve. At the same time, the car, as before, is content with 92nd gasoline.
In traffic jams, the 16V version pleased with good traction on the bottoms - you can start moving almost at idle. And the clutch is set up as it should: it works exactly when you expect it to. Five-speed mechanics are still distinguished by clear switching and good selectivity. The process of changing gears is overshadowed only by a noticeable vibration on the lever. By the way, it is decorated with a pseudo-aluminum overlay. And for the “beautiful life” - a leather-wrapped steering wheel, a dapper white instrument panel backing, a Renault logo sticker on the door sills, and a Kevlar-like center console framed by an insert - an unexpected solution for a budget model.
Suspension of the flagship "Logan" - with anti-roll bar (ZR, 2009, No. 11). Of course, it works out bumps noisily, but there seems to be no limit to energy consumption. To bring the suspension to breakdown, you have to try hard. I could not get.
In the city, full-fledged exterior mirrors, installed instead of miniature "ears", help a lot. The sixteen-valve Logan is offered exclusively in the richest Prestige version - a driver's airbag, air conditioning, fog lights, heated front seats, electric exterior mirrors and windows. Such a generous set causes a high price - "Logan 16V" costs from 414,500 rubles. Expensive for a budget car. Perhaps the company should offer a 16-valve modification in a simpler configuration. Then more buyers will be able to enjoy the dynamics.
So it happened. This fall, "Logan" - a favorite of leisurely summer residents, taxi drivers and just thrifty citizens, got a 16-valve engine with two camshafts of 102 horsepower. We cannot say that we were waiting for his appearance, like schoolchildren of winter holidays, but freedom of choice is always good, right? In addition, by doubling the number of valves, the people's car, as they say, received a somewhat more imposing appearance to the heap.
Door handles, moldings and bumpers were painted in body color, a little chrome was added to the grille, and Logan immediately got prettier. Pleasant changes also took place in the interior - light plastic, which lost all its elegance after a couple of months after purchase, was replaced by an equally solid, but more practical dark gray. Against its background, even the door handles look much more advantageous, coupled with the edging of the air ducts under aluminum. The steering wheel and gearshift lever please the prescribed version of the “Prestige” with leather. And the car got larger mirrors with electric drive and, in addition, air conditioning. But the main thing is that they seem to have worked hard on soundproofing: the operation of the aforementioned motor, at least at idle, is practically inaudible, and aerodynamic noise is not so annoying even at speeds over a hundred.
So, everything seems to be for the best. There is only one catch. The dynamic talents of the new motor, alas, are not impressive. A dozen “horses” and almost two dozen Newton meters of torque, compared to the 8-valve “one and six”, did not make the “Logan” faster. The increase in dynamics can only be seen on paper - in the technical specifications.
In fact, you can’t leave the intersection ahead of other traffic participants, and when overtaking on the highway, you have to carefully and in advance calculate the distance to the cars in the oncoming lane. It's a shame even. I didn’t notice much difference compared to the usual 1.6-liter engine, but with the updated firmware of the engine control unit (by the way, a lot of “logan drivers” “chip” their cars almost immediately after purchase) the eight-valve engine accelerates the car, perhaps faster .
But the 102-strong Logan complies with Euro-4 toxicity standards. But is any of us ready to consciously throw 30,000 hard-earned money on the altar of ecology? I think the answer is obvious. In addition, the “taxes-helmets-osagi” on the 16-valve Renault will come out more expensive, but the buyer of the Logan is used to counting money to the last penny. Yes, the engine runs quieter, it pleases with elasticity - you can move from second gear without a jerk, and it has a little less fuel consumption according to the passport. But after all, a 16-valve engine is available only in the richest configuration “Prestige”, which, of course, affects the price. If you add metallic, radio, ABS and passenger airbag to the base for 420 thousand, then the price tag will jump to 450,000 rubles. To put it mildly, not cheap for a budget car, by definition, and even in a crisis era of discounts and promotions. A much better equipped Lacetti with a 1.6-liter engine of 109 hp will cost the same amount of money today. With.
On the other hand, the Logan remained itself: still a fairly reliable car with a soft, energy-intensive suspension and good brakes, in which almost any malfunction is eliminated, as they say, on the knee. And maintainability in our realities is a trump card that will be valued for a long time to come.
BASIC EQUIPMENT “PRESTIGE”
driver's airbag, central locking with remote control, chrome trim on the radiator grille, 2 rear head restraints, power windows and mirrors, audio preparation, leather steering wheel and gearshift lever, fog lights, air conditioning, power steering, heated front seats, trip computer, alarm system
Renault Logan provides the buyer with versions with different engines and gearboxes, which, together with a variable configuration, allow you to select a car individually, according to the requirements of each future owner. The most “top-end” version for this sedan is a variation with a 1.6-liter engine with 16 valves. About what technical characteristics such a machine has and what opportunities it provides, read on.
Weight and dimensions
Despite the fact that such a machine is positioned as a trouble-free and reliable family assistant, which, with regular maintenance, is able to serve faithfully for more than one year. This sedan is compact and is not capable of carrying a large amount of luggage.
Nevertheless, according to those data, the engineers managed to create a fairly small car that has a decent trunk volume and a cabin that is comfortable enough for five people.
One of the most important technical characteristics of Renault Logan is its length: both the volume of the trunk and the comfort of the cabin depend on this parameter. According to official data, for the provided car, this figure is 4346 mm. In this case, the distance between the extreme points of the side mirrors is 1732 mm, and the maximum height is 1517 mm. At the same time, the ground clearance in the Russian version is increased to 155 mm, which provides the car with excellent opportunities for overcoming light off-road and suburban ruts.
The mass of Renault Logan, according to the list of those characteristics, without passengers and with an empty trunk is 1127 kg. If you make the maximum load of the machine, then this parameter can increase to 1545 kg. At the same time, the trunk volume is quite solid: according to the table of technical specifications, on Renault Logan 1.6 it is 510 liters.
Engines and dynamics
For Renault Logan, a 1.6-liter 16-valve engine is not the only version that is offered for this car. However, the entire line of motors has similar technical data and is able to boast of high efficiency with fairly small working volumes.
So, all three engines have a transverse arrangement in the engine compartment and are four-cylinder naturally aspirated power units that do not have a turbocharger. At the same time, depending on the design, 8 or 16 valves are included in the design.
For motors, according to those data, a distributed injection system is provided, which can improve the dynamic characteristics of the machine and increase its efficiency. By the way, the regulated fuel for all engines is AI92. However, if you believe the official documentation, the manufacturer allows the bay and 95 gasoline.
The 1.6-liter Renault Logan engine with a 16-valve design, according to those data, is able to give the car a maximum of 102 horsepower for this model, which is achieved at 5750 rpm. The torque is also maximum here, and on a 16-valve 1.6 engine it is 145 Newton meters: this figure can already be achieved at 3750 camshaft revolutions per minute. Acceleration to hundreds, according to the list of technical characteristics, is achieved in just 10.5 seconds. At the same time, the maximum speed reaches a considerable 180 km / h.
Fuel consumption deserves a separate word: despite the rather high power and excellent technical characteristics, the 16-valve 1.6 engine remains quite economical and does not require a large amount of fuel even with dynamic driving.
So, according to passport data, in the city a 16-valve will not consume more than 9.4 liters of gasoline for every 100 kilometers. In the combined cycle, this figure becomes significantly less and reaches only 7.1 liters. Outside the city, this figure is expectedly minimal and, according to the manufacturer, does not exceed 5.8 liters per 100 kilometers.
Summing up
Summarizing, it should be noted once again that Renault Logan is currently one of the most inexpensive, reliable and economical cars on the market. This allowed the sedan to achieve extraordinary popularity among buyers and earn an excellent reputation, which continues to grow stronger every year.
