OK, somebody educate me. Very low power per litre, plus way low gas mileage? OK, I'm googling the car.............

With an engine that small how can it be possible to get such bad gas milage??? My 97 hyundai accent has more power and gets better milage. this is quite the step backwards.

What's this car have to do with GREEN CAR CONGRESS? It isn't green at all! It doesn't even use alternative fuels. Focus people.

Mahindra & Mahindra makes some solid, unremarkable farm tractors currently being sold here in the USA. Their original tractor design/offering was from an old US International/Farmall 444/454 design utility tractor from the late 60's, early 70's. Mahindra purchased the tooling for that tractor, and its my guess that these engines are an updated development from that old US tractor diesel engine, from the late 60's. If anyone can educate me better, I will stand corrected.

I guess its a story because of the growing market for a midsize sedan there, and it being a diesel.

The Logan will add to the LOGJAM that is that countries clogged rolling parking lots. Its poor transportation infrastructure doesn't need these little 1.4/1.6-liter diesel belchers. The only thing it's going to green is the dashboard and
floor of any closely trailing vehicle. Figures the French
would be aiding and abetting in more particulate air quality problems for the Indian urban centers already besieged by pollutants. Maybe they should call it the "FROGJAM". Preserves

Gents -

please adjust your perspective. Even the emerging Indian middle class cannot afford a luxury automobile. The Dacia may be the runt of the litter in Europe, but it's cheap and better in just about every way (incl. fuel economy and emissions) than the hopelessly antiquated Ambassador from Hindustan Motors. The diesel in particular is sure to be a massive improvement. Given that diesel is much cheaper than gasoline in India, expect that variant to account for most of the sales.

Much that same thing applies to Iran, where Logans are about to be built under license now that the equally antiquated Paykan has finally gone out of production. The twist is that Iran prohibits the use of diesel engines in LDVs due to pollution in Tehran. Thanks to US trade sanctions, Iran's refineries are unable to meet local demand. The country therefore imports a lot of finished gasoline from India at world market prices and then subsidizes it heavily to avoid riots.

In a sane world, Iranians would be driving around exclusively on locally produced CNG but the ayatollahs would rather export it - except that their foreign and security policies mean there is zero chance of any pipeline actually being built (Europe and Pakistan/India would like one each).

Doesn't sound like a green car.

Where is it made?

India.

Is really funny.Hey morrons this car has similar mpg ,in practice, like your toyota prius,especialy if you drive faster than 60mph(I drove both).You read one article and start ranter.Let me put it this way:I also drove both american cars and this car.Drive it first and then start commenting.Dude...this is why american cars are so shetty if you compared them to gas guzzling chevy,dodge or you name it.American cars are jokes.And they cost soo much.Americans buy like crazy cheap japanese cars.I bet if they start producing this car in US they will buy it like crazy.But hey...first you need to go to that stage where you have a washer and dryer in your house ahahah.And no..I'm not a muslim :)

I THINK THE AVERAGE MUST BE INCREASED FROM 10-12 TO 12-14 BEACUSE THE ONLY WAY TO GET INTO THE INDIAN MARKET ..
BCOS ESTEEM GIVES AVERAGE AROUND 12 TO 14 AND MORE ..
AND THE PARTS SHOULD BE EASLY REPLACEBLE

logan is one of the economic car i had ever seen ,since it gives about 18 km/ltr .In my opinion it will rock India's market.

If tata launchs it's naino then it may creates a movement in the indian market. And if other countries imports this car then as far as I think that it is not good for our india
