Renault Logan is being rolled out in a phased manner into showrooms around the country, Mahindra & Mahindra (M&M) has introduced two new variants, one each for the petrol and diesel models. The Logan was launched in April with three engine options, including two petrol — a 1.4-litre and a 1.6-litre — engines and a 1.5-litre diesel power plant
With a view to offering more choice to potential sedan buyers, M&M has launched the new GLX and DLX variants with additional features and has priced them in such a way as to plunk the new variant right between the trim levels currently available.
The new variants of the 1.6-litre petrol engine and the 1.5-litre dCi diesel models will now be positioned between the GLE/DLE variant on the lower priced, cheaper trim side and the top-end GLS/ DLS variant on the other, higher priced, more expensive trim side. Much of the changes that have been introduced with the Logan GLX and DLX had supposedly been initiated after a detailed customer feedback process.
The new variants will attempt to provide additional features that many customers demand in this segment either as part of standard fitment or end up getting retrofitted post-purchase.
Accorrding to company officials as much as 63 per cent of the Logan’s sales volume comes from the top-end variants.
The new variants’ additional features for the interior include adjustable head restraints for the rear seat passengers, a trunk room light, manually adjustable outside rear view mirrors, front and rear power windows and a central locking system.
The other additional features include a rear door trim with fabric and on the outside, body side moulding, which is both meant to enhance the looks of the car and provide increased protection against nicks and scratches.
The Logan was launched with five trim levels. The new GLX and DLX variants are to be made available for bookings in all the current sales locations in a phased manner. source:thehindubusinessline.com/
