Dacia working on a Logan Ute?

It looks like it. Dacia which is a Romanian car manufacture owned by Renault is working on 4 new models which should all be released by 2009.

First of the 4 new models will be a hatchback that will join the Logan variants in 2008. A few prototypes have been sighted in Northern Sweden and engines will be taken of the Logan hatchback.

Secondly will be the Logan facelift which itself could make its way into the UK market. There will be no dramatic changes but an aggressive front lower grille will be included.

Thridly will be a new ute which has been sighted in France doing some top-secret testing. The ute is based of the Logan wagon and will be on the market next year. There are no main-stream rivals but if the Fiat Strada is one of the rival's if this comes to the South America market.

Last but not least could be a 4x4. The Dacia Logan Steppe concept shown a few years ago could offer alot of hints on what the production model could look like. Just like the Logan wagon it will offer 7 seats and will be cheap to run and buy. This could make its way onto the European market in 2009.
