Despite the overall constructive basis Renault Logan and Nissan Almera are perceived by consumers as completely different cars. In the first half of 2014, 31,157 people became owners of Almera in Russia. For Logan, this figure is higher - 34,725 buyers.
Salon and finishing
What attracts a Russian person to a Japanese car? An in-depth study of car enthusiasts' forums has shown what attracts Nissan Almera to the external similarity with Teana and spacious salon... The birthplace of the brand also plays an important role. The owner's belonging to a certain "clan" of drivers ensures the popularity of the model. Our people like to receive a lot, but pay little. Somewhere this happens with a new Japanese car.
A wheelbase of 2,700 mm and a flat seat provide space for passengers in the cabin. If you have the skill, you can even throw one leg over the other. But this is not business class. Therefore, the owners of Almera are trying to disguise the simplicity of the cabin. Seat covers and steering wheel covers, navigators and DVRs and other decorations are used. The composition is usually crowned with a flavoring agent. The appearance of the Nissan is already pretty good - the only thing that can be improved are the wheels. In relation to the plumpness of the body, they are smallish.
The interior design of Renault Logan still has old flaws. Although the quality of the finish has increased, but the steering wheel and its column are still tightly fastened (like Almer's). Positioning the chair into this position can take a long time, but still not produce the desired results. Nissan has a better one with that. The back fits properly to the seat and receives the necessary support.
The Nissan Almera has one undeniable advantage that experienced Logan owners will appreciate. On windshield Nissan does not form "snot". This is the nickname for the annoying drop that forms at the junction of the cleaning zones of the wipers. This phenomenon has gained widespread coverage in certain circles. It is noteworthy that the new Renault did not get rid of it, it only decreased in size.
Audio and multimedia
The Nissan audio system is the height of consistency and ergonomics - keeping budgetary simplicity, of course. The only problem is there is no USB port. This luxury is provided only in top-end trim levels.
Logan's multimedia system controls are assembled on a touch screen. You can only fully feel the on and off button. The screen is easy to use - large controls and a quick response allow you not to be distracted from the control of the car. The USB port on the screen frame once again makes you remember that the car is budget.
Dashboard
Dashboard new Renault dressed up. At least when compared with previous versions or Almera. At the bottom of beautiful wells, like the Megane, there are dials. For some reason, they are piled forward and lost contrast. The night illumination was bright, you always want to dim it. And now there is no coolant temperature sensor - it will be more difficult to determine engine overheating. But it is not all that bad. The power window buttons have moved to the door, and the horn button is finally on the steering wheel. In addition, a real climate control system, albeit a little noisy, appeared.
Rear seat passengers will not be constrained. There is less space than in the Almera, but it will definitely not be cramped.
Luggage compartment
Trunk volumes for both cars are almost the same - 500 liters for Almera and 510 liters for Renault Logan. At the same time, the Frenchman is shorter than his Japanese relative (Logan - 4346, Almera - 4656) At the same time, the Nissan trunk looks somewhat neater. The entire luggage compartment is lined with fabric, and the hinges and handles are neat. Both participants are equipped with an asymmetrical rear seat back.
Engine and handling
Both cars have a French engine with sixteen valves, 1.6 liters, 102 horsepower. But due to the environmental settings of "Euro-5", Renault Logan cannot be filled with 92nd, only 95th. This circumstance alone can scare away doubters. The 92nd poured into the Almera does not have the best effect on driving dynamics. But for leisurely drivers, this difference will not be fundamental, especially outside the bustle of the city. So for urban movements it is better to use the 95th, and for long journeys over long distances, you can safely feed the Almera 92.
Considering the overall dynamics of management, we can say that the Logan is somewhat "faster". He, unlike Almer, has electronic pedal gas, which allows you to get rid of the itch conveyed by the cable. And in general, in the management of Renault Logan, there are many different "a little" and "a little", which can greatly facilitate movement along the crowded streets of the city. Transmission five-speed box switch a little more clearly, the steering wheel is a little easier to turn. On top of that, on rear bumper The Logan has parking sensors, although Nissan needs them more.
Both sedans brake in exactly the same way. The difference is almost imperceptible without precise measuring technology. The unpleasant moment is that in order to brake a loaded machine to the eyeballs, you will have to apply a tangible force to the pedal. This aspect is also affected by the feature of budget models - small brake pads.
On a straight line, the sensations from Nissan are indistinct. Every now and then I want to turn the steering wheel left and right. Due to the soft suspension, the Japanese has a tendency to sway when cornering, especially in a loaded state. While the Logan has a stiffer suspension, it is more resistant to swinging. In general, both cars are comfortable enough. Personal preferences of the buyer will play a role in the choice - someone likes the clarity of Logan control, and someone prefers an energy-intensive suspension that "swallows" speed bumps.
Both of the B + sedans are not equipped with any acoustic comfort system. At a speed above one hundred kilometers, you will have to scream in the cabin. But for auto budget class this is not critical, because it is not supposed to.
Summing up
To achieve a full-fledged consumer level, Logan only lacks adjustment of the steering wheel and a comfortable seat, but the Frenchman has strengthened his position in the “low-cost” class. Even so, the population greeted Almera more warmly, while Logan had a cool welcome. It turns out that the Japanese are chosen with the heart, succumbing to feelings, and the French - with the mind. However, the presence of Almera's many diminutive nicknames does not save her from the obvious superiority of Logan.
Going into a comparison of two popular models of the budget category: Nissan Almera or Renault Logan, you will first need to make a clarification regarding the presence of common features, of which there are many. And, perhaps then, it will be possible to find out which is better.
How much in common?
Both Nissan Almera or Renault Logan cars are produced by the famous car brand Renault-Nissan and built using a single BO platform. Thanks to its versatility, this base has become applicable for the development of a considerable number of models, from small crossovers to budget cars.
The buyer, who has outlined both the Nissan Almera or Renault Logan models we are considering as candidates for the purchase, should solve the difficult rebus associated with choosing the most suitable option, decide which is better. For a correct comparison, it is necessary to select modifications with approximately the same production periods, since both models in history have gone through several generational changes. The latest generation of Almera is built on a single platform with Logan and Nissan Blue Bird Sylphy. This approach allowed the Nissan to acquire a more advantageous exterior in comparison with the Logan, which allows it to be visually identified with more expensive models.
Compare salons
The first time we get acquainted with the interior 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 falls into place at the first mention of rivals belonging to the budget segment.
It is gratifying to note that the developers were not too lazy to endow the salons of both cars with significant transformations, which benefited ergonomics. So in Logan, the power window activation buttons migrated to the door cards. If you touch on the convenience of landing, then in the Nissan in the back row it will be somewhat more convenient, because the salon space at the stern is wider and a little more spacious in length. This was significantly facilitated by the almost completely absent central tunnel.
In terms of overall comfort, we note that, according to most experts, the Nissan salon is the undisputed leader in this duet. We will not ignore the Logan chairs, which, like in Almera, are not able to disappoint the owners, but will give hours of comfort during long voyages. So it is not so easy to understand which is the best of the presented cars Nissan Almera or Renault Logan. We continue the comparison.
Car audio systems
These devices in both cars Nissan almera or Renault Logan differ significantly. Rich versions of Logan have full-fledged radio tape recorders that keep up with the frantic pace of modern electronic media fashions. The audio complex control buttons are conveniently located on the steering rim.
If you compare, then the radio tape recorder in Nissan is the exact opposite. It upsets owners with its inability to play programs in the long-established MP3 format. Despite the presence of touch controls, this device for the Logan radio is not a competitor. Another fly in the ointment - there is no way to switch an external storage flash device. We continue the comparison.
Driving qualities of the compared vehicles
We offer to compare our competitors in the comfort of movement, it is very difficult to prioritize any of these models. Both suspensions are perfectly adapted to Russian road realities and are able to confidently overcome both bumpy terrain and demonstrate stability in suburban areas.
Enviable ground clearance (160 mm) and reinforced standard protection of the engine compartment from below give the owner confidence when driving on bumpy and rocky areas.
Reviews of the owners of Nissan Almera or Renault Logan indicate that Renault's suspension is characterized by a large resource and less whimsical. Modest dimensions and good maneuverability make Logan nimble and capable of nimbly "spinning" in the cramped urban "jungle". The "Frenchman" got a special honor among taxi drivers.
Dynamic capabilities
A frankly weak engine contributed to the inability of these cars to fully demonstrate enviable dynamic abilities. 1.6-liter 102-horsepower unit is only enough for everyday use. In a pair to the motor, the manufacturer "invited" two transmission options: a classic 5-speed "mechanics" and a 4-level "automatic". If there are practically no complaints about the first type of box, then the "automatic" will disappoint with its thoughtfulness when trying to dynamically start and "unwillingness" to strive for fuel economy.
Luggage section and security level
Nissan Almera or Renault Logan will not disappoint future practical owners with a spacious trunk, because its useful volume reaches 500 liters. However, in order to reduce the cost of construction, none of the competitors is able to please with the presence of folding backs in the back row.
On guard of safety are airbags on the driver's and passenger sides (front), as well as "ABS". In addition, Logan boasts a progressive ESP system for dynamic stability and an option for Hill Start Assist (HSA).
Let's summarize
In conclusion, we note that to choose the best option of the two cars we reviewed, Nissan Almera or Renault Logan, it will be very difficult, because the competitors are quite similar. For long voyages, Nissan is preferable due to its more spacious interior decoration, but if you compare, for the bustle of the city, it is Logan that turns out to be the best, since its compact dimensions allow you to find your place in the stream with enviable agility. However, which is better, it is up to you to decide.
Nissan Almera shares design solutions with Renault Logan. Both models occupy more than one niche Vehicle(B - compact), but also have similar functional characteristics and prices. However, car enthusiasts perceive them as two completely different cars comparing both competitors. This is also justified, since with each new generation and restyling, the differences between Almera and Logan become more and more. In order to find out which car is the best, it is necessary to make a detailed comparison.
Description Nissan Almera
Japanese car of the class "subcompact", which has been produced since 1995. For more than 20 years of successful presence on the market, Almera has changed a number of generations and received several restyling. Since 2012, Nissan has been produced at the Russian plant of the AvtoVAZ enterprise. This generation is the third for Almer - in which the manufacturers tried to please Russian drivers by making the car more equipped. Among other things, this also applies to driving in harsh conditions - the updated Nissan is ready for harsh winters and roads are not best quality... At the heart of the Russian Almera is the first generation Renault Logan, from which Nissan borrowed the interior and several other important characteristics.
Description Renault Logan
Like the Nissan Almera, this French car belongs to the class. The second generation Renault Logan, which is currently relevant, is produced at the same AvtoVAZ plant - in Togliatti. That being said, the cars have several things in common, including the wheelbase, transmission, engine range, and interior.
Comparison
Given the multiple similarities between Nissan Almera and Renault Logan, it is simply impossible not to compare them when buying. Not only are they in the same market niche (economy class subcompact sedans), but they also share a common origin and a number of structural similarities.
Complete set
Nissan Almera has three trim levels, which, in turn, are divided into several modifications. The cheapest will cost the buyer 540,000 rubles and will have the following equipment:
- Gasoline engine with a volume of 1.6 liters and a capacity of 102 horsepower;
- gears on front-wheel drive transmissions;
- Anti-lock braking system;
- Power steering;
- Front door windows;
- The ability to customize the steering column.
The initial configuration of the Nissan Almera has very modest functionality, which, most likely, will be lacking for most drivers for full-fledged operation.

- Four-speed automatic transmission;
- Air conditioning;
- On-board computer;
- Power steering;
- Electric glass lifters;
- Heated seats;

- Gasoline engine with a volume of 1.6 liters and a capacity of 82 horsepower;
- Front-wheel drive transmission and five-speed manual transmission%
- Anti-lock braking system;

- Driver airbag.
The minimum configuration Logan has even more modest equipment than that of Almera. But the car itself costs 70,000 rubles less - this allows you to buy as simple a car as possible for the least amount of money, for example, in a taxi company - Renault Logan is popular in the field of taxiing.
With an increase in the budget, the buyer gets the following functionality:
- Gasoline engine with a volume of 1.6 liters and a capacity of 102 horsepower (identical to that of Almera);

Specifications
Dimensions Nissan Almera:
- Length - 4656 mm;
- Width - 1695 mm;
- Height - 1522 mm;
- Clearance - 160 mm;
- Trunk volume - 500 liters;
- The volume of the gas tank is 50 liters.
The car has a fairly solid body, which he inherited from the Bluebird Sylphy - the common predecessor of Almera and Logan. The trunk lid is designed for a European number, front bumper upgraded for off-road driving and paintwork became resistant to corrosion, as in winter in Russia the roads are sprinkled with reagents.
Renault Logan dimensions:
- Length - 4346 mm;
- Width - 1733 mm;
- Height - 1517 mm;
- Clearance - 155 mm;
- Trunk volume - 510 liters;
- The volume of the gas tank is 50 liters.
The body of Logan has parameters close to those of Almera. The only thing that catches your eye is that the Nissan is more than 30 centimeters longer. However, the body of the last generation Renault was even shorter. The car has received new soundproofing.
Appearance
The body design of the third generation Nissan Almera is largely the same as the second generation Bluebird Sylphy. In this case, only the external parameters are the same, since Almera has completely different physical parameters. The plates in Nissan are stiffer, and the body itself is created using technology that those who are in the car. The appearance of the Nissan Almera 3 resembles Teana, which, coupled with its length, creates a good semblance of a premium car.
The appearance of the second generation Renault Logan has changed significantly compared to its predecessor. Only the main features remain, which still give the body a charisma. The new design is more presentable. This fact adds competitiveness compared to the Nissan Almera, and also allows you to stand out against the background of other budget models, the manufacturers of which save on appearance.
Salon
Unlike the body, Nissan Almera did not take over the interior from the Bluebird Sylphy - in order to save money, the manufacturers significantly "cut" it, installing the interior from the first generation Logan. Thus, the Almera's interior almost completely matches the old Renault and has a rather uncomfortable dashboard and console, a thin steering wheel and non-ergonomic switches. In addition, drivers complain about the seats - they have a short pillow, and the driver gets tired faster because of the hard back.
However, Almer also has some unique features in the interior and ergonomics. So, Nissan has its own mirrors, which are more comfortable than Logan's. The high cabin allows you to sit right up to the ceiling by adjusting the front seats. At the same time, the main advantage of the Nissan Almera is in the class among sedans. The low transmission tunnel provides ample room for tall passengers, and the rear row of seats can accommodate three adults. Unfortunately, this space is poorly optimized - there are not even banal cup holders.
The design and ergonomics of the new Renault Logan are among the best among all the company's products available in Russia. The entire interior has smooth lines, high quality plastic and chrome inserts. In such an interior, wide functionality looks especially expensive and advantageous. The controls are in comfortable places and the seats are reasonably comfortable.
Of course, there are still moments that I would also like to see in a new performance. For example - a system of turn signals, "blinking" which is still impossible in automatic mode... Nevertheless, Renault Logan already offers a lot for its category.
Driving performance
Comparing the dynamics, it should be noted that best engine Nissan Almera and the only Renault Logan have identical characteristics. At the same time, Almera has a slightly larger maximum speed(175 km / h, which is 4 more than the competitor), and Logan is more dynamic - its acceleration to a hundred in the best configuration takes 11.7 seconds, which is a second more than Nissan.
Nissan Almera received a suspension from the Bluebird Sylphy (but the engines of the budget version got the corresponding ones) - its structure is identical up to the disc brakes. And the power consumption of the transmission has increased, since the Almera is designed to travel on Russian roads. The springs are stiffer and the strokes are longer. In addition, the new shock absorbers are more comfortable. New, soft suspension it also has a drawback: when turning, the Almera body may begin to sway. At the same time, the soft ride ensures a quiet ride over obstacles from speed bumps to potholes in the asphalt - this is also a merit of the high energy intensity.
Renault Logan has a choice of two engines. One of them has 8 valves, and the other has 16 - this provides the difference in power (82 and 102 horsepower). And the more powerful one has a characteristic loud sound when moving. Discomfort when driving Logan causes gear shifting. The gearshift lever has a too long handle, which forces you to miss the desired step. Also, with a great design, it is completely incomprehensible why the steering wheel and gear lever have constant background vibration, which is independent of speed and rpm.
At the same time, the Renault Logan suspension is one of the price and class niche. On dirt road the car feels even better than on asphalt - compared to competitors outside the asphalt, Logan drives the best.
Outcome
When comparing Nissan Almera and Renault Logan, the following conclusion can be drawn: the "Japanese" has much fewer advantages over the "French", since its equipment and driving performance are slightly weaker, and in relation to the price, the offer does not look so profitable. Nevertheless, Almera is still a winning option against the background of any other subcompact, Logan aside.
When comparing such widespread cars as the Nissan Almera or Renault Logan, you should first clarify what they have in common. And there is a lot in common.
Common features
For starters, despite different names Both cars are produced by the Renault-Nissan auto alliance and are based on the universal Nissan B0 platform. This platform is used, due to its versatility, for the production of a large number of models, ranging from SUVs to subcompact cars, which include the Nissan Almera or Renault Logan.
A buyer choosing a car among these brands should know the basic subtleties of each of them in order to compare and weigh the pros and cons.
Both brands have undergone several stages of restyling, so an objective comparison in order to determine which is better must be done on models of the same generation. The latest generation of Almera Classic is based on the same Renault Logan and Nissan BlueBird Sylphy. As a result of this approach appearance Nissan in comparison with the last generation Logan (not to mention the first releases) only won, giving the impression of an expensive prestigious car.
Salon features
Disappointment comes after you look inside the cabin - both cars have a modest minimalist interior, not abundant with a variety of built-in options. Not surprising given the price point. The ergonomics of the driver's seat is well thought out, the shortcomings of previous modifications are taken into account, in particular, Renault has moved the window control buttons to the doors. Passengers, especially in the back seat, in Nissan will be somewhat more comfortable - the cabin is wider and longer, and the transmission tunnel is almost completely absent.
If you choose a car based on passenger comfort criteria, Nissan is beyond competition here.
Both cars have comfortable seats that allow you to take long trips without much fatigue.
Features of audio systems
The audio systems in the models are completely different. Expensive Renault configurations are equipped with a full-fledged car radio that meets modern requirements. The control buttons are located on the steering wheel in convenient places. On Nissan, the radio makes users think about the fastest replacement, since even touch controls will not sweeten the pill from the lack of the ability to play MP3 music or connect an external flash drive.
Driving characteristics
If we compare cars in terms of driving comfort, then none of the models have advantages. The suspension, adapted to domestic realities, allows you to travel not only on highways, but also on uneven country roads. Both cars have a sufficiently energy-intensive suspension, which is able to swallow significant irregularities.
High ground clearance(160 mm from the lowest point) and factory engine crankcase protection allow you to safely move on rocky off-road.
According to the owners, Renault suspension is very reliable and unpretentious. Small dimensions and excellent handling make this car desirable when driving in tight city conditions. Its problems arise when maneuvering and parking. Renault has become one of the most comfortable vehicles in the taxi service.
Dynamic characteristics
Cars cannot boast of outstanding dynamic characteristics due to the rather weak engine - 102 liters. with. And if to the five-step mechanical box there are basically no questions, then the four-speed automatic looks like a kind of anachronism.
Cars equipped with automatic transmission cannot boast of fuel efficiency and dynamics, especially in urban driving.
Trunk volume and safety
Both models have a good, voluminous trunk of about the same volume - within 500 liters. But in order to simplify and reduce cost, none of the cars, be it Renault Logan or Nissan Almera, can boast of folding rear seats, therefore, the size of the trunk cannot be increased in length.
Safety is provided by airbags (airbags) of the driver and front passenger, as well as anti-lock braking system... Logan has an additional built-in ESP (Dynamic Stability) and Hill Start Assist (HSA), previously installed mainly on crossovers.
Conclusion
Summing up, we can conclude that choosing a car among these two models is an extraordinary question. Even knowing clearly the criteria for comparison, it is difficult to decide how similar the two competitors are. If we take into account frequent trips over long distances, then Nissan has an advantage due to a more comfortable cabin. For trips in a busy city, it is better to opt for Logan - smaller dimensions and better handling will allow you to easily find a place in the dense traffic.
A modern buyer can no longer be surprised by an offer to buy a foreign car at a price that is comparable to the cost of a new car of domestic assembly. Today we will compare popular models such as Renault Logan and Nissan. Almera classic and find out which one is better.
Appearance
Renault Logan of the first generation has always caused a slight ridicule of the owners when it comes to the appearance of this inexpensive compact sedan. In comparison with the Nissan Almera, its forms turned out to be very angular and disproportionate, so those who decided to purchase this car had to put up with a similar disadvantage.
Already in 2013, when the second generation Renault Logan saw the light, this serious problem was fundamentally solved. The appearance became more interesting, brighter, and the car, indeed, began to attract attention. At the same time, the price became almost one and a half times higher, although the advantages of the new modification turned out to be enough.
Nissan Almera Classic is a car with a Japanese soul, and therefore its design is made in accordance with the approaches and principles of this country. Unlike the lurid design of the first generation Renault Logan, the Nissan Almera acts as a stylish and bright car, each line, bend and transition of which looks beautiful, harmonious and not too flashy.
Many experts note that the exterior of Nissan makes such a positive impression only because it borrowed the guise from the more expensive and premium models of the concern.
Interior
Looking inside the Renault Logan of the first generation, almost from the doorway you realize that you got into the salon budget car... About Logan's belonging to this price segment says almost everything. There is no multimedia system, automatic climate control and other comfort options, which, perhaps, would like to see many buyers of this car.
As in the case of the Nissan Almera, extremely cheap plastic was used here, which does not stop creaking and crunching when the Renault Logan starts to drive over bumps. The disadvantages of Logan include the power window buttons located on the center console, when it was much better to place them on the door handles.
The appearance of the new Renault Logan did not solve all the problems of its predecessor.
For example, the plastic used in interior decoration has not improved and is still more than a cheap material.
But the design of the car's interior has become much better, the dashboard with pleasant lighting, convenient power window buttons on the door surface and a signal button that has finally moved to wheel, create a pleasant impression.
The interior of the Nissan Almera is solid and simple. The dashboard of the Nissan Almera is nicely designed, and it is convenient to read data from it at any time of the day. All controls are really in their places, and you won't have to get used to their unusual location.
The plastic of the Nissan Almera Classic is also quite tough and inexpensive. This is fully paid off by the low price for all configurations of this Nissan model.
Renault Logan's trunk is large enough, even with a fully assembled rear sofa, its volume reaches a significant 510 liters. For Nissan Almera, this figure is practically the same. Judging by the passport data, here it reaches 500 liters.
Engines and transmissions
Everything is much simpler here, because both cars are based on similar lines of power units. Oddly enough, even the Nissan Almera Classic, which, it would seem, should have a Japanese filling, was no exception to the rule. Here is exactly the same power unit as Renault Logan. The engine has a volume of 1.6 liters and produces a decent 102 horsepower... At the same time, a design of 16 valves and 4 cylinders performs its functions on the Nissan Almera.
The only thing that Logan can present against the Nissan Almera is the ability to refuel with gasoline with an octane rating of 92. This means that you can save a lot of money on travel, at the expense of dynamic performance and fuel consumption.
With the choice of transmission, the situation for these two cars is much more interesting. The first generation Logan has only two options: either a traditional five-speed manual transmission, or a four-mode "automatic". The last option, by the way, was not liked by car owners, since such a car behaves much worse during acceleration, and there is no need to talk about fuel consumption here.
The second generation Renault Logan did not change the engine lineup. But the range of gearbox selection, in contrast to the Nissan Almera, has become wider. Now the buyer has the opportunity to choose a car with robotic box... If you follow the manufacturer's assurances, now the car will respond more clearly to pressing the accelerator pedal and carry out really timely gear changes.
Complete set
Once again, we note that the cars considered in this review are representatives of the budget segment. Logan of the first generation, like Nissan Almera, has the most minimal set of options, which, nevertheless, is quite enough for comfortable trips. Logan has an electric drive for glasses and mirrors, central locking and even an air conditioner. In addition owner of Logan receives airbags.
The new Renault Logan is more expensive, but provides the ability to install a multimedia system, climate control and other important and necessary options. Nissan Almera is the golden mean, and here you can find most of the necessary features: climate control with air conditioning, power accessories, a multi-speaker radio and basic security systems.
Final verdict
Both presented cars are really worthy of attention. The French representative has a low price and provides excellent quality and good equipment, while the Nissan Almera is reliable car, which is able to do without repairs for a long time and does not require serious investments from the owner.
