Sedans are all about transformation and innovation. Most of the sedans leading the market today are transformed and reformed versions of the original hatchbacks. The two entry level mid-size sedans Maruti Swift Dzire and Mahindra-Renault Logan are quite popular among buyers. Both the cars are priced almost similar and have the same elegance and status associated but still they are competing with each other to create benchmark in the Indian car industry.

Dzire and Logan holds true for the quote, “worth the money spend” and have a keen desire to be the first choice of Indian consumers. The differentiation, comparison and competition occurs on the basis of car body design, engine performance, available variants, fuel efficiency, well adorned car interiors and safety features. Let’s check out which one is better, DZire or Logan?

The car is magnificently designed and crafted with curves at all ends. If a DZire is parked in the vicinity, no body will ever come to know whether it’s a Swift or DZire unless and until the boot is visible. That’s the beauty with which the car is designed and manufactured. On the other hand, Logan is designed with hard angles and sharp edges. The craftsmen who have designed the body have detailed every curve of the car body to give right-angled submission. The body is wide, embodied with style and class.

Dzire is available in both petrol and diesel with an engine of 1.3L Inline 4-cylinder petrol and 1.3L Turbocharged 4-cylinder diesel coupled with 5-speed manual transmission. The petrol engine delivers 87 bhp @6000 rpm. The diesel variants of Dzire generate 75 bhp@4000 rpm.

Logan is also available in both petrol and diesel with an engine of 1.4L Inline 4 and 1.6L Inline 4 in petrol and 1.5L Inline 4 in diesel. The Logan also has a 5-speed manual transmission. 1.4L petrol variant offers 75 bhp@ 5500 rpm, 1.6L petrol offers 84.5 bhp @ 5500 rpm and 1.5L diesel offers 65 bhp @ 4000rpm.

The available petrol versions of Dzire are LXi, VXi, and ZXi whereas the diesel versions include LDi, VDi, and ZDi. These variants have a lower kerb weight in their segment, about 1030 kg in petrol variants and about 1110 kg in diesel variants.
