In brief

New Laguna : born under the sign of quality

Since it was first launched in January 1994, more than 2.3 million of the first two generations of Laguna have been sold. New Laguna is manufactured in the Sandouville factory in France with a level of quality never seen before. Preparing for Renault's return to the luxury car segment, New Laguna has been manufactured to be both robust and reliable. The stated objective is to be in the top three of its segment for product and service quality.

Driving pleasure

New Laguna was designed from the outset to give true driving pleasure. It has a dynamic, streamlined and elegant form, positioning it naturally in the realm of grand tourers, with an even more exclusive and distinctive profile for the Sport Tourer. Its class-leading dynamic performance is a benchmark. Its chassis is responsive and its steering is particularly precise. Whilst being bigger and more spacious than its predecessor, New Laguna is notably lighter by an average of 15 kg and is available with a wide range of powerful and economical engines from launch, all with six-speed manual and automatic gearboxes.

Complete peace of mind

New Laguna provides a real sense of peace of mind for all its occupants. In terms of protection, it benefits from Renault's acclaimed real-world accident knowledge and all of the latest technologies, in particular, side impact with an innovative thorax double airbag. The sophisticated air conditioning system offers class-leading thermal comfort. Equally, much attention has been focused on New Laguna's acoustics which are again top-of-the-class. With an economical and ecological 'Renault eco2' version, New Laguna dCi 110 hp only consumes 5.1 litres per 100 km on a combined cycle, or 136 g of CO2 emissions per km.

New Laguna is respectful of the environment right from its production through to the end of its lifecycle.

New Laguna will be launched from 12 October 2007 as the future reference point for the family saloon segment in terms of usage, maintenance and repair costs.
