Romanian Car Range Logan To Include Two New Models

"We are interested in developing new cars that could be sold in more states, because we need volumes. Since the Logan platform is flexible, we could consider an MPV, a sedan bigger than the Logan and a crossover," le Quement said.

Asked if the Logan family would also include a car smaller than the Sandero, the Renault official said a decision has yet to be made in this respect.

"Between Sandero and the USD2,500 car we are developing with Bajaj Auto in India, there could be room for a model, but a decision has not yet been made in this matter," he explained.
