The towing limit is exceeded by 650 kg!
It is not allowed to drive with this Boottrailer. Make sure the towing limit is correct.
We now give advice based on the assumption that the legal maximum towing weight is higher for your car and that the car should be allowed to tow this caravan!
The Dacia Logan MCV 1.6 16v with a Boottrailer 2000 kg with an actual weight of 1950 kg is not a recommended match to drive.
The motor preformance of the Dacia is in general moderate but for your use maybe sufficient. But the weight of the Boottrailer with a normally distributed User Payload (200 kg in the caravan and 200 kg in the car including passengers), is too heavy for long distances. Remember to load your caravan correctly, insuring that the noseweight of the caravan is sufficient and the weight is distributed properly. But even so, a starting caravan driver is better off choosing a smaller and less heavy caravan!

Dacia Logan MCV 1.6 16v Boottrailer 2000 kg
Actual Weights
Boottrailer 2000 kg: 1950 kg.
Dacia Logan MCV 1.6 16v: 1495 kg.
Noseweight: 100 kg.
Actual weight ratio: 130%.
Performance
The engine's performance is generally sufficient on flat roads (performance score to compare 134 points).
Speeds of 61 mph (98 km/h) to 68 mph (109 km/h) are often quite possible.
There is only very moderate power at low engine speeds (score to compare 51 points).
Slightly higher revs (3600 rpm) may be necessary under normal conditions on flat roads.
Acceleration from 0-62 mph (0-100 km/h) is theoretically possible in 34.6 sec.
In the mountains the performance is generally (very) moderate (score to compare 92 points).
Performance is not great on steep mountain roads. Hill starts more than 8% requires experience from the driver.
On motorway inclines the speed drops despite high revs.
A speed of 48 mph (77 km/h) is usually possible on most motorway inclines.
Weight
The towing limit is exceeded by 650 kg (check this in your vehicle documents).
If you passed your driving test after 1 January 1997, you will need a B+E (or B96) driving license.
Weight ratio between the laden caravan and the loaded car is 130%. Common in the UK: the weight ratio between the laden caravan and the kerbweight of the car is 154%.
The risk of snaking at higher speeds, strong side winds and thoughtless driving is great. It is not recommended to drive with this outfit for long distances!
Recommended noseweight is 100 - 100 kg.
Towball limit is 75 kg (Check this on the type plate of your towbar!)
Safe speed up to 50 mph (80 km/h).
Stability and safety score to compare is 1 points.
If the caravan starts to snake you should reduce your speed and slow down directly! Lift your feet off the accelerator and brake gradually. Hold the steering wheel into a fixed position.
Conclusion
Performance is moderate but for your use maybe sufficient.
Proper and careful loading is essential!
It's not a recomanded match. Only if you are an experienced (caravan) driver it is posible to drive carfully.
Influence of User Payload on stability
Weight distribution and noseweight are vital in obtaining a stable caravan.
