Dacia Logan to become the Taliant, a sedan for emerging markets

The latest patent shots reveal what Renault officially calls the Taliant sedan. No more details are provided, but sources report that it is more than just a rebadged Dacia Logan.

Specifically, it is claimed that the car will be based on the latest-gen Logan chassis and body and be similarly sized to it. It will get new bumpers, radiator grille and lighting to tell it from the donor model. Inside, the steering wheel, air deflectors and the entire dashboard will be new.

The engine range is expected to stay the same, composed of three-cylinder engines rated between 65 and 100 horsepower (48 and 74 kilowatts, respectively). When the Taliant debuts, it will be the marque’s most affordable option for developing countries.
