In autumn 2007 the French car maker Renault will released the third generation Laguna at the Frankfurt Motor Show. The five door sedan first came on the market in 1993, the second generation followed in the year 2000.

Now the new model is being developed under the code name X91, and here are first tele lens spy shots of a prototype during top secret testing in Southern Europe.

Laguna 3 is an all new car, and the prototype shots already reveal the rounder styling. In particular Renault is striving hard to improve the new Laguna’s quality, which had decreased considerably with the current model and consequently lost customers in their market section dominated by the Audi A4, BMW 3-Series, Mercedes C-Class ,VW-Passat and the next Ford Mondeo.

The new Laguna will measure 10 cm more in overall length than its predecessor, , and it will be powered by fuel- and Diesel engines ranging from 115 to 245 HP. The latter is a V 6 3,5 litre powerplant from Nissan which is already being used in the Espace and Velsatis.
