Both Logan and Sandero adopt the lighting signature common with all of Renault’s recent models, with the characteristic C shape on both front and back.

On the front, the signature is clearly visible both at night and day thanks to the new LED daytime running lights.

The radiator grill is made using Renault’s special design, which sits seamlessly alongside the new bumpers and fog light rims. The rear of the cars has also been given the same treatment.

In February, Renault Kenya launched its Koleos brand in the local market but said had no immediate plans to assemble its cars in Kenya.

Mr Santos said Renault plans to open more after-sales and service centres.
