The Paris Motor Show was the opportunity for Dacia, the low cost brand of the Renault Group to introduce the new version of two models the Logan 2 and the Sandero 2 that both feature a basic, but effective navigation system.
Based on the same navigation head unit as the Lodgy unveiled at the Geneva Motor Show (read here), Logan and Sandero get the MEDIANAV system powered by LG for the hardware (7-inch touchscreen) and NNG for the software, with NAVTEQ map data.
The navigation unit can be bought for €430 with the basic configuration of the Sandero (€7,900) or the Logan (€7,500). The only thing still missing for that low cost solution is to have at least RDS-TMC traffic information embedded.
According to a source at Renault, the take rate of the navigation unit with the Lodgy is more than 50%. They might experience a high take rate happening with Logan and Sandero too.
Dacia, which sold their first car in 2004 is expected to sell around 1 million vehicles worldwide in 2012, against 800,000 cars last year.
