Recent reports say
that a Cross variant of the Renault Logan is in the pipeline for the Russian
market. Kolesa.ru has shown how a Renault Logan Cross may look through
renderings.
The Cross variant
has a more rugged bumper design, faux skid plates and extra body cladding. It
does away with the chrome garnish in the lower bumper but retains the regular
15-inch double-spoke alloy wheels. It may have an all-black interior and come
with all the high-end features of the sedan, including automatic climate
control, heated front seats, touchscreen infotainment system with navigation,
cruise control and more.
The Renault Logan
offers a ground clearance of 155 mm and the Cross could sit higher to tackle
dilapidated roads and deep potholes. To deal with the higher body-roll from the
increased height, it may have a larger anti-roll bar. Renault offers the
standard variant with a 1.6-litre petrol engine in three different tunings: 82
PS/134 Nm, 102 PS/145 Nm and 113 PS/152 Nm. 5-speed manual and 4-speed
automatic are the transmission choices. Options planned for the Cross variant
are a mystery at the moment.
The Renault Logan
Cross could debut at the 2018 Moscow International Motor Show next month.
Renault has confirmed that its first-ever SUV coupe will debut at this show.
