Rugged, practical and well equipped, the Dacia Logan MCV Stepway has many talents.
Pros Looks suitably tough Lots of equipment Very practical
Cons Only two engines No four-wheel-drive option Not as good value as regular Logan
The Dacia Logan MCV (standing for Maximum Capacity Vehicle) isn’t just the cheapest estate car on sale in the UK – it’s one of the cheapest cars, period, beaten out only by its closely-related sibling, the Dacia Sandero.
Pros Cavernous load area Cheap to buy Efficient engines Should prove dependable
Cons Cost-cutting touches are very annoying Driving dynamics below par Not worth the extra money over standard Logan MCV No Dacia is truly desirable
Pros Striking exterior design Spacious and high-quality interior Excellent ride comfort Refined engine and gearbox
Cons No sub-$40,000 variant Driving position compromises Expensive servicing Facelifted 3008 coming in early 2021

Cons Some detail missteps beneath the surface
Crossover maxes out on style, practicality and economy.
Pros Sharp and striking exterior styling Slick, distinctive interior design Punchy 1.2-litre petrol, 1.5-litre diesel and hybrid engines
