New Nissan Almera: We learn Renault Logan in a new Japanese "state employee". Renault Logan or Nissan Almera: Comparison of the car and what is better than audio and multimedia

What's better? New Nissan Almera or Renault Logan is still in the old body?

Test Drive Nissan Almera: significant differences from Logan!

Within the framework of last year's Moscow Motor Show, the presentation of the new sedan Nissan Almera B-class was unnoticed. The manufacturer did not prepare a noisy advertising campaign nor intriguing tips. Company employees were limited only by brief information to visitors to the Nissan stand: "The basis of the car is Logan. The beginning of production is scheduled for 2013. Engine - 1.6 ".

In order to see the differences between Almera from Logan, we conducted a test drive of the first available instances of the model.

Larger Renault Fluence

At first glance, the new sedan's salon makes a feeling that I got into Logan. Nissan developers are strongly offended by such comparisons. They do not deny kinship with budget Renault Logan, but pay attention to motorists that Almera for as many as 406 mm is longer. In addition, the new almer exceeds size and Renault Fluence - 360 mm longer. The managers of the Moscow dealer Nissan without a doubt referred to a novelty to the + segment.

Specialists who worked on the Russian Almera should have solved a difficult task - combine the body of an already existing Nissan car and the B0 platform from Logan. As a result, I chose Nissan Bluebird Sylphy Japanese production produced in 2005-2012. For the needs of the domestic market. In Japan, the sedan was not positioned as a budget - Blisterd divided the platform with a model from Nissan - Sentra known in America.

The difference in dimensions and mass (Nissan weighs almost 100 kg more Renault) dictated to developers the need for a small change in the Logan platform: a new almera has other spars and a transverse stability stabilizer, it has a different rear beam and springs, as well as more rigid shock absorbers. The result was the wheelbase of the new sedan from Nissan, grown in size up to 2700 mm instead of 2630 mm in Logan.

Convenient salon and spacious trunk new almers

Landing in the new almeral is high like Logan. A number of elements also switched from Renault - Car owners recognize the "Logan" steering wheel, the keys of the center console, the instrument panel, air ducts, glove box and others. It should be noted that Almera has a unique front panel and its inner door trim. We tested the car in the top configuration equipped with a full range of options.

So, having taking a driver's seat, began to regulate the angle of the steering column. Unfortunately, there is no adjustment by departure. Control of the outer mirrors hidden under the handbrake. The front windows lie on the central console, and the rear producer placed between the front seats, similar to Logan. Not too convenient, but you can get used to, but now on the doors you can place only 4 keys instead of 7.

The central console made of budget plastic is equipped with a Nissan Connect multimedia sensory system. In Moscow, navigation functions perfectly, even in case of intricate three-level junctions, do not miss, in which congress you need to go.

Door armrests have horizontal notches for grip, but me "Loganovsky" curved "ears" like more. The trunk opens with a key or with a lever located on the floor from the driver's seat.

The upholstery of the severity is simple fabric, there is practically no side support. Seats have a regular profile - no additional convenience. Plastic elements everywhere without exception hard, but there are no squeaks. There was no unpleasant smell in the car provided to us for a test drive, although there were similar complaints from journalists about this. Gear lever and steering wheel can have a leather finish.

Who was sitting in the rear sofa in Renault Logan, should remember a small discomfort due to the lack of a sufficient place for the legs. This problem is completely excluded in a new almeral, an additional 40 cm went just on the spatial comfort of passengers. However, besides the space, there was nothing more than anything else: even in the top complete set there is no rear armrest, there are no cupboards, and to open the window it will be necessary to lean far ahead. In the second row there is a significant central tunnel, and therefore three passengers will not divide the place for the legs.

The volume of the trunk is 500 liters. Under Falsefol, Almers are a full-fledged outlet. It is worth noting a significant disadvantage - there are no folding seats of the rear row, but manufacturers promise to fix everything at the first restyling.

Much quiet Logan

Nissan Almera Car owners will see only with one motor - 1,6-liter capacity of 102 hp We received a 4-speed "automatic" to the test drive. Sedans are also offered with a 5-speed mechanical transmission. All specified, like the steering system, also "Loganovskoye".

In the stationary state of the car steering wheel tight, but at speed there is insufficient feedback.

Having pleased the suspension capable of "digesting" any irregularities of the road surface. Road clearance of almers 16 cm, which will allow

drive in summer to any cottage. Compared to Logan, the new budget sedan is more quiet.

Power in 102 hp It is enough to feel good in the intense urban stream. It would be even more interesting on the mechanics, and the "automatic" did not always allow to keep turnover in the required range. It is not worth starting from traffic lights on a new almers - few people can surprise overclocking up to 100 km in 12.7 seconds. Aggressive ride is better to leave other cars, since Almera does not have a stabilization system even as an additional option, and even with a small drift, the driver can lose control over the machine.

In general, the behavior of Nissan Almera on the road is practically no different from Largus. Fuel consumption when driving around the city amounted to 9.5 liters per 100 km, which is less than the manufacturer's declared. Based on the technical characteristics, the car with the MCP should be dynamic and more economical.

Prices

Basic equipment Almera to the markets of Russia and CIS countries will be shipped at a price of $ 14.2 thousand, while the car will have a tissue outcome of the cabin, audio preparation, outer mirrors and black handles, 2 airbags, ABS and EBD systems, will be equipped with immobilizer, chrome-plated Radiator grille, front door power windows, steering power windows, onboard computer, adjustable steering column over the corner, rear window heating, central console cup holders and other elements.

Renault Logan 2017-2018 is a representative of the company from France in a new body and new characteristics.

Nissan Almera is a Japanese car with new appearance and data.

The appearance of Renault Logan now looks somewhat better - now in the image you can see the sports features of the front lights, also updated the front and radiator grille. Now the updated design gives greater wicker. On the back also updated the lanterns - they now have an original form, as well as big stop lights.

Nissan Almera looks good - the hood and updated bumper speaks about it, the air intake is placed in the center of it. Side view shows the racing up the line of the window sill and stamping. On the back of the forth bumper and massive individual headlights.

Interior Renault Logan and Nissan Almera

Inside Renault Logan is pretty spacious, it will be convenient for both the driver and passengers. There are three wells on the instrument panels, rounded deflectors in a chrome-plated frame and almost the vertical console in the center. In the new model, the plastic remains the same - hard and slightly creaky. The inner decoration looks better in expensive equipment - they have a climate system with the original control panel and six inches. Touch screen multimedia system supporting gadgets.

Flange modification will make a leather wheel with a good grip.

The equipment includes: a cruise control system, frontal and lateral PBs, parking and rain sensors, flightcomputer and much more.

The inner decoration of Nissan Almera is modest - now there is more free space. Also modestly made the instrument panel. Praised glove box, rounded deflectors, small dashboard. The console in the center is 6 inches. Front computers and control keys. Driver has a 3-spoke steering wheel. The rear sofa is declined in proportion 60/40, this function is available in all modifications, except for the base. Equipment includes:

Air conditioning system
El. Power windows
Immobilizer
Driver's seat and steering wheel are adjustable

What car to whom and when to buy better?

For whom it is in the first place there is a power, overclocking speed, it is worth choosing Nissan Almera. This brand is recommended and wishing to save on the purchase of a maximum configuration machine. But it must be borne in mind that Nissan is a low-quality suspension. For whom this parameter is important, it is worth choosing Renault Logan. If the driver comes the driver's comfort and the presentability of the appearance, then it is better to buy Renault Logan.

As you know, ugly women do not happen - there are little vodka. They say that there are no ugly machines, it does not happen - there is a bad point for photography. Solids themselves these mantras, I put a new Nissan Almera, then so, then Syak, with a camera, Nerderov, Lazay in the snowdrifts and crawl around her knees in search of that very "point G", which will finally lead to a visual-aesthetic orgasm, but ... Scripture of beauty from Almer somehow did not work out. Maybe even with the character lucky?!

In Nissan, a new Almer has already managed to paint "input ticket". And this is not a lyrics, but a pure marketing prose. Almera is now - just the first, "entrance" model in the segment of low-cost cars in, where the Japanese company did not offer anything before. Stop, but what about the current Almera Classic?! Nissanovs claim that Classic was positioned as a model of a higher class C. New Almera larger than "classic", the same in the set of units, but at the same time cheaper. Therefore, Nissanovtsy and declare a novelty to a more affordable and growing class in: according to the calculations of marketers, this year the share of budget cars can come up to 40% of sales of the entire segment. There is also the second half of the "prose": the Japanese very much hope that the cheaply new Almera will become for many buyers the first new foreign car and the "entrance ticket" to the Nissan brand itself. So what awaits those who buy this "ticket", deciding to join the ranks of the Nisanovodov?

In general, the new Almera is a lot of old familiar. Have you found out Nissan Bluebird Sylphy in it? And you are partly right! Bluebird Sylphy second generation (its index - G11) was offered from 2005 to 2012 and released it in Japan, Malaysia and Taiwan. And this "Blubeer" is a relative of Renault Logan: Based on both cars is a platform B0! Only now the car changed the registration: for Russia, Almer is collected on AvtoVAZ. But the "Blue Bird" changed not only the name and "nest": after moving to a new Almera from her, in fact, there were alone "feathers"!

The new Nissan Almera is collected on AvtoVAZ capacities with 50 percent localization. Here the stamps, boil and paint the body, and Russian seats supply seats, plastic interior elements, side mirrors, tires, heater blocks and lighting. In addition to Russia, Almer is also planned to be sold in Ukraine and Belarus.

Bluebird Sylphy and Almera identical external dimensions and salon size, common design, body panels and roofs with racks. However, "Almers" specially under our roads have enhanced platform and increased the rigidity of the body structure due to additional struts and welding points. The lid of the trunk - already under the European license plate, the front bumper has increased the angle of entry, and so that in the conditions of our "reagent" winter from the car, it seals the gloss, in chrome-plated body elements is now more resistant to corrosion coating.

But all these changes are not as striking, like what happened to the salon. Alas, but the solid interior of Bluebird Sylphy (it is in the photo gallery) for the sake of the sufficiency of the future Almera was "drank" submissal! And instead of him ... Hello, Logan, I learned you! Yes, and is it possible to confuse your characteristic "oak" instrument panel with something with an opposite slope of the climate of the climate, a thin steering wheel with a massive hub (there is still no settings for departure), "bibikalka" on the end of the turn signa lever and this selector Automobile automatic transmission, more similar to "carniest" ship telegraph? How can you not know this location of the windows keys and the joystick adjustment of the mirrors, carefully hidden under the "handbrake" so that the insidious human fingers do not get to it?

Loganovsky heritage climbs literally from everywhere, although in some way "Almer" is trying to differ, albeit with variable success. In terms of visibility, an unequivocal "test" put on a larger and more convenient than in Logan, side mirrors. But the windshield racks at Almera are not "thin," the wipers after one-time activation of the washer are not immediately turned on, and at speeds from the windshield, the "tears" from the washer fluid often blossoms on the driver's wind. The wide adjustment of the driver's seat height allows you to sit under the very ceiling (and he is high in "Almers"!), But the elevator itself is made in Loganovski: To configure the pillow on the seat, it will have to jump again. The front seats have another finish and supplier, but the same profile and similar constructive, so much better than the "Frenchman", they did not. The chair is still noticeable "breathing" during acceleration, the "Popogray" buttons at the base of the seats still have to grope, the back is narrow and noticeably shortly, and adjust its tight tight and slippery "washer".

Bending over the central deflectors is, perhaps, the only visible element that distinguishes the Almera dashboard from Logan. But unlike Logan, Almera front side airbags are not suggested even for extra charge - there are only frontal included in the basic equipment. But in the TEKNA top package, a Russified navigator is available.

Studying the interior, I continue to accumulate all new traces of economy. There is a piece, here a block ... For "Almera", engineers cleared on the adjustment of the front belts in height and ceiling handrails with microlift, but the mirror in the sunscreen visor is only a passenger, pocket on the back side of the back - too, only at the passenger seat. On the front doors of some of the components of the current Logan already there are already "boomerangs" of normal door handles, but in Almera they also saved them: in the door panels they simply made fireproof. Okay, they will rise like pockets for trivia, where you can throw a phone or packaging of chewing.

Nevertheless, Almera's appeal partly takes revenge at the expense of the most spacious in the class of salon, especially in the back row. Places here - car! The low transmission tunnel does not interfere with the legs, the tight sofa was honest triple, even in winter clothes, I had about 10 cm with a height of 180 cm above my head, and the kenstera separated from the back of the front seat beyond the front. You sit on a wide "gallery" by a rotational, in feet blows warm air from individual deflectors ...

However, the budget "jokes" Almera remind you that you are not in an expensive limousine. Drink something soft - everyone will have to keep in hand, because there is no hint behind the cup holders. The back is completely flat and side support is not about it. In addition, the back itself does not fold and the hatch in it is not (as on Logan). So it is easy to transport the longer will not work, you will have to work wrench, removing the back and partition behind it.

Almera is not only the longest wheelbase in the class, but also almost the "limousine" footbasic space: on this indicator, the new car survived even the VW Passat of the past generation. The windows in the racks got from Nissan Bluebird, but the oversized sofa back - from the same "Logan". Yes, and massive head restraints even in folded form noticeably overlap the back.

The present "masterpiece" ergonomics is the keys of the rear windows, standing on the floor between the front seats! Even to me with my height and long, as the KGB, my hands, had to be in half, reach out to these buttons, as in the cinema it is still stretching towards the gun. By her, God, it's easier to press these keys with the foot than it is like that! Maybe over time in Nissan you will generally make it change? And not only this - during the test, with colleagues "poured" to Nisanovans a lot of comments on the car. Those all diligently recorded, promised complaints to take note and, if possible, Introduces. I hope that they will take and implement.

But about changes under the hood of hope weak. The bottom line is that the technology of Bluebird Sylphy and Almera diverges to the side even further. Blisiterday had a large range of aggregates, which included three gasoline engines (1.5, 1.6 and 2 liters), three gearboxes (mechanical, automatic and variator) and even four-wheel drive for a two-liter motor! But in the budget almera "attraction of generosity" covered. The drive is now - only the front, and the motor is only one. Instead of Nissanov's Almera units, a 16-valve Renault K4m engine with a volume of 1.6 liters, already familiar to Logan / Sandero models and outstanding all the same "uncomfortable" for transport tax 102 hp The base 5-speed manual transmission manual transition of the JH5 series and the 4-range "automatic" DP2 with the winter mode are the same as in Logan, and the transfer numbers of the boxes and the leading bridge in Almeral and Logan are the same.

Bluebird Sylphy and Almera Suspension Schemes also remained the same: in front of the "candles" McPherson with disk brakes, and the back is a twisted beam with drum brake mechanisms. Cheap and angry! But "Almeral" will run on our roads, so the suspension was almost completely reconfigured to increase its energy intensity. For this, the moves of the suspension extended (now they are like Logan), pass the "tightened" springs, the front stabilizer and the rear beam, plus the shock absorbers with more comfortable settings on the car.

The 1.6-liter 102-strong Logan K4M engine is also adapted for cold starts, equipped with a more powerful starter and battery, and can "digest" 92, 95 and 98th gasoline. The neck of the 5-liter tank of the glasswater carrier, on the Loganovsky manner, is located on the "shelf" under the windshield (in the photo - on the left above).

Although from the fly of the fly here it is still drunk. If the "fraternal" bluebird was also offered and 15-, and 16-inch wheels, then Almera selection of discs cut to 15-inch with tires 185/65, on which the car looks somehow completely fiscal. On my surprised "why so?!" Nissanov residents answered that under the 16-inch wheels it is necessary to "clamp" the moves of the suspension, "chemist" with the drunks, and in general, they say, the suspension on Almera immediately "sharpened" it was under this sizzy. Everything like Logan / Sandero, they are more than 15 inches, too, "not supposed." Just hardly it will stop our hand-deplete car owners who will certainly try to "stick" on Almera wheels more.

But on the 15-inch wheels of Almera ran according to the aspect of the asphalt of the Yaroslavl region, so that he immediately remembered the famous "and I will find out on the gait." I learned you again, Old man Logan! I am already familiar with this naughty attitude towards broken roads. So Almera swipes on the joints and cracks of the canvas, various-caliber pits and bumpy primers with calm and softness of the tank, only spanning tires on irregularities. The courage on bad roads adds a clearance of 160 mm under a standard 2-millimeter steel protection of the bottom.

True, for "omnivorous" the long-time suspension has to pay with considerable rolls during rebuilding and a tangible transverse boltan when "lick" in uneven roads at high speeds, although it was quite predictable. The acuity of control was also expected neutral, more configured to comfort than any driver's delights. And if it becomes difficult at speeds for 120 km / h, then you need to be ready for a rapidly growing "insensitiveness" steering wheel in the okolonulous zone. The steering wheel itself is not bad isolated from road "perturbations" and only on large irregularities or "comb" it periodically "pushes."

The LOGANOV device moved to Almera unchanged. Even the buzzer of the turn signal - and that from "Logan"! The tachometer still does not have a red zone and because of the same digits, it is confused with a speedometer, no orange backlight and the "columns" of the fuelometer and the temperature of the coolant, and the turning signal on the "tidy" shows all the same "indivisible" indicator.

But how smoothly works 4-speed "automatic"! Yes, and in kick-down mode, the box switches down with a minimum delay. Perhaps, I can only agree on the "hanging" automatic transmission when moving from the 3rd to the 4th stage under the dump of gas, but, in general, the settings turned out very worthy. But I liked the mechanical box already less because of long strokes is noticeably the breakdown lever and not too high switching shifts - it is easy to confuse the transmissions.

That before the traction talents of the 1.6-liter engine in a bundle with the "automatic", then with a hundred "horses" by 1.2 tons of weight, of course, not particularly walking: acceleration to "hundreds", for example, occupies a leisurely 12.7 seconds . Well, this is not a sports car, but a calm "seven seven" for a trip from point A in all subsequent points of the alphabet. If you remember, the motor is enough both in the city and on the highway, you can accelerate, and overtake. At the same time, due to good "Shumkov" the engine does not bother to all the frets and at cruising speeds in 110-120 km / h His rumbling does not bother. And this is despite the fact that due to the "short" gear numbers in the transmission on the above speeds, the engine works at about 3100-3400 rpm.

Liked powerful and transparent informative brakes with a dense, short pedal. But there is a nuance. Of the active safety systems in the Arsenal Almera, only ABS with a brake force dispenser, but there is no stabilization system in principle. So "catch" the car will have to do with your own hands. I say this because with a sharp braking from a good course on the asphalt one by oneboard "Almer" several times "baptized" so that it was already baptized by himself. In general, with active braking on heterogeneous coating it is better to be alert.

The volume of the trunk is 500 liters. Not bad, but the record does not pull - the same "Logan" volume is already 510 liters and the loading opening is wider. But, unlike him, "Almers" a set of tools and jacks are removed under the floor and lie in a niche full of full spare. On the inside of the cover there is a closing handle, but you can open the trunk only with the key or twitching the castle on the floor of the driver.

With "Almer" I broke up in mixed feelings. On the one hand, we meet in our clothes. There is nothing more to shine a novelty: in this segment there are cars much more preferable, and modern on the equipment. But Almera has his trumps in the sleeve. Simple, like an ax, a large trunk, a spacious salon, a decent clearance, the hardy suspension is made under the bad roads - everything that needs for Russia, she already has.

And, of course, the price tag, who for the new "Almers" should be a certain "Forgiveness" of most of her flaws. And on the price range of Almera again goes closely with Renault Logan! The cheapest will be equipped with the Welcome Welcome name (they say, welcome to Nissan!), Equipped with only "mechanics". The price is 429,000 rubles, although another 6,000 rubles will take in all versions for the painting of the body of the metallic. But not to say that the car will be "bare". The price is already two frontal pillows, power steering, front windows, ABS, on-board computer and heated rear window.

Need conditioner? It is offered, starting with the Comfort configuration, which, according to the calculations of marketers, and the main sales will have. The "conditioned" Comfort will cost 474,000 rubles for a manual box and 504,000 rubles per "automatic". The price already includes the central lock, heated front seats and mirrors plus the driver's seat adjustment in height. The same cars, but with 15-inch cast discs, more expensive for 5,000 rubles.

According to the preliminary calculations of Nisanovsev, only 25-30% of Nissan Almera sales will have to be spoiled by foreign cars in Moscow and St. Petersburg. The rest will "leave" in the regions.

Topna Tekna costs 523,000 rubles for "mechanics" and 553,000 rubles for automatic transmission. In the database - alloy wheels, rear windows with a servo and covered with skin steering wheel. In machines with manual transmission, instead of an audio preparation already stands a full CD / MP3 player with a Bluetooth system and 4 columns. And only in this configuration, with a total of 12,000 rubles, the Nissan Connect multimedia complex with a 5-inch touchscreen and Russified navigation is available. Moreover, Nissanovs say that in this class only Almera is equipped with a similar built-in system.

Market plans for a new Almera Nissan is more than serious. It is expected that the annual sales over time will exceed 60,000 pieces, "Almers" will have a quarter from all implemented Nissan models in Russia, and from the market in the cake, it will "bite up" a share of 7%. The task is not easy, considering that the rear bumper comes with a dozen competitors like the same Logan, the notebook leaders of the Hyundai Solaris class (from 459,000 rubles), Kia Rio (from 490,000) and VW Polo (from 450,000), as well as newcomers Citroen C-Elysee (from 456,000) and Chevrolet Cobalt (from 444,000). Will Almera go to the grab, becoming another Russian bestseller? Soon we will find out: sales of new items start at the end of March.

When comparing two popular models of the budget category: Nissan Almera or Renault Logan, it will be necessary to first make a refinement relating to the presence of general traits that are quite a few. And, perhaps then, it will be possible to find out what is better.

Is there a lot of common?

Both Car Nissan Almera or Renault Logan are produced by the famous Renault-Nissan car brand and are built using a single platform "BO". Thanks to universality, this base has become applicable to the development of a considerable number of models, starting with small crossovers and ending with budget cars.

Buyer who outlined the Nissan Almera or Renault Logan as candidates to the purchase of both the models of Nissan Almera or Reno Logan, should be solved with the choice of the most suitable option, to decide what is better. For a correct comparison, it is necessary to choose modifications with about the same periods of production, since both models in history have survived several changes in generations. Almera last generation is built on a single platform with Logan and Nissan Blue Bird Sylphy. Such an approach allowed the "Nissan" to acquire a more profitable exterior in comparison with Logan, which allows you to visually identify with more expensive models.

Compare salons

With the first acquaintance with the internal decoration of our competitors, the heart is filled with despondency, since the elements of the interior are inherent in minimalism. This fact is not surprising, because everything becomes in its place at the first mention of the belonging of rivals to the budget segment.

It is gratifying to note that the developers have not been lazy to endow the salons of both cars with significant transformations, which went to the benefit of ergonomics. So in the Logan button activation buttons moved to door cards. If you touch on the convenience of landing, then in the Nissan in the back row will be somewhat more convenient, because the cabin space on the feed is wider and slightly spacious in length. This significantly contributed to the almost completely missing central tunnel.

In terms of general comfort, we note that, according to most specialists, Nissan Salon is an indisputable leader in this duet. We will not pass the attention of the chair Logan, which, as in Almera, are not able to disappoint the owners, but will give comfort hours with prolonged vigi. So understand that it is better from the presented auto-author Nissan Almera or Renault Logan is not so simple. Continue comparison.

Car audio systems

These devices in both Nissan Almera or Renault Logan cars differ significantly. The rich versions of Logan have full-fledged radio tape recorders that are not laughing from the mad rhythm of modern fashion in the field of media electronic means. The audio-complex control buttons are conveniently located on the steering rim.

If you compare, then the radio in Nissan is a direct opposite. It disadvantages the owners with their inability to reproduce programs in the long-widespread MP3 format. Despite the presence of sensory control, this device for the magnetic Logan does not perform a competitor. Another spoonful is not possible to switch the external cumulative flash device. Continue comparison.

Riding qualities of compared machines

We offer to compare our competitors in the comfort of movement, it is very difficult to give the priorities any of these models. Both suspensions are perfectly adapted to Russian road realities and are able to confidently overcome both a bumpy terrain and demonstrate stability in country areas.

The enviable magnitude of the road lumen (160 mm) and the strengthened regular protection of the engine compartment below give the owner with confidence while driving along a bumpy and stony areas.

Reviews of the owners of Nissan Almera or Renault Logan show that the Renault suspension is characterized by a large resource and less good. Modest dimensions and good maneuverability make Logan Yurik and capable "spinless" in the constrained urban "jungle." Special honor "French" was acquired in a taxi drivers.

Dynamic capabilities

Frankly weak motor introduced its contribution to the inability of these cars in full. Shutty dynamic abilities. The 1,6-liter 102-strong unit is enough for everyday use. A couple of Motor, the manufacturer "invited" two transmission options: the classic 5-speed "mechanics" and a 4-level "automatic". If there is practically no complaints to the first type of box of claims, then Avtomat will disappoint its thoughtfulness when trying to try on a dynamic start and "reluctance" to strive for fuel economy.

Volume of luggage section and security

Nissan Almera or Renault Logan will not disappoint future practical owners capacity of the trunk, because its useful volume reaches 500 liters. However, in order to reduce the cost of construction, none of the competitors are able to please the presence of folding backs of the rear row.

On guard of safety cost pillows from the driver's and passenger sides (front), as well as "ABS". In addition, Logan is capable of boasting the progressive "ESP" system, which is responsible for dynamic stability, and the help option when starting on the lines ("HSA").

Let's summarize

In conclusion, we note that it will be very difficult to choose the optimal option from the two cars of Nissan Almera or Renault Logan, because competitors are quite similar. For long-range guards, Nissan is preferable thanks to a more spacious salon decoration, but if you compare, it is Logan for the urban bustle, since its compact dimensions allow you to look for their place in the stream with enviable acume. However, what is better to define only you.
