Also it is said that Logan has low ground clearance & some problem with torque. Can you please guide me on that? l had brought down my choices to Ford Ikon, Tata Indigo, Maruti Esteem but decided for Logan Diesel 1.5 DLE. Is my choice woth it? As my budget is around Rs 6 lakhs only. Please suggest.

Hi,
If your requirement is to buy a diesel car in 6 lacs budget it is fit for u. Mahindra dsnt have a problem in spare and services. as they already have gud set up in market with 700 dealer network. if your choice is ford ikon n tata indigo. Logan will give you best value for money. except the car is not too much flashy and attractive. else wait for few months skoda is going to launch fabia n swift sedan from maruti in next year in diesel version.

l think the ground clearance of logan is enough for normal use, and nothing to worry about service backup of Mahindra. Any how good choice better than Ikon, Indigo and Esteem. Good Luck

The target customer groups for the Logan r families. This necessitated the need to have much more roomy interiors. The rear seating deserves a special mention for it offers generous headroom & legroom. A unique feature of the Logan is the third head-rest for the middle occupant in the rear seat. This is the only vehicle in its segment to offer this feature. The roominess has been further enhanced by the beige interiors that give a bright & plush feel to the occupants.

Another benchmark that Logan has set in its segment is the boot space it offers. With a capacity of 510 litre, the vehicle’s boot can carry luggage – big & small – & of all dimensions. The shape of the boot provides a low loading platform & is protected by the boot lining from the upper part of the rear bumper.
At the heart of the Logan is its state-of-the-art engine. This vehicle comes equipped with three engine options – 1.4 & 1.6 petrol & a 1.5 diesel. While the 1.4 petrol engine delivers 75hp, the 1.6 performs with 84 horses the diesel sibling gives 65 hp. Both the engines r meshed with a five-speed manual gearbox.

The car uses the tried & tested JH gearbox that has already proved its worth in the Renault range. Logan is torque has been greatly enhanced at low speeds by redesigning the profile of the cams. Despite its spacious dimensions, the vehicle is relatively lightweight. It complies with the emission standards in force in India & can be adapted to more stringent norms that will be applicable in future.

The power steering provides superior handling & enhances maneuverability with the help of a reduced turning radius of 5.25 metres. The driver gets an ergonomic seating position wherein he can view the display for all the data. An alphanumeric display in the centre of the dashboard brings together warning lights & data supplied by the onboard computer. The car also boasts of low NVH levels.

The second-generation 1.5 dCi common rail diesel engine gives a performance that is yet unmatched in this segment. With the 1.5 dCi engine – a product of the Renault group’s powertrain range – Logan offers driving pleasure combined with an astounding fuel economy (14-18 km/litre). Emission levels too have been drastically reduced to 125g/km of CO2 that makes Logan highly competitive among diesel cars currently on the market. The second-generation common rail injection system developed for the 1.5 dCi is characterized by the supply of precisely the required quantity of pressurized fuel in a series of injections, improving the efficiency of combustion & saving fuel. The system also features dedicated injector calibration, enabling the injection timing & flow to be controlled for each injector individually.

Dude, Mahindras already have an extensive service network in place, the the Logan is just launched, and is successful. As more people buy it, expect more service centres to come up; with ever improving parts availability. Note that most of Mahindra vehicles (scorpios, etc.) are diesels. So, service should not be a problem.
Do not worry about ground clearance, unless you want to drive in locations where roads do not exist.

since its a Mahindra, you wont have any problems reagrding spare parts, services etc.

i have not driven/test driven the logan, so cannot say much on it is performance, comfort etc
