The unique personality of the New Laguna Coupe is in its streamlined form. A wide grille hints at the presence of high – performance machinery, as does the twin exhaust at the rear. The arc of the roof, height of the sides, wide set wheel positions: its whole design is that of a true sports coupe. Fluid and dynamic harmony, with a timeless elegance.
A conventionally designed chassis with front wheel steering can give excellent road holding. But for engineers at Renault, “excellent” just isn’t good enough. They wanted to go even further when it comes to control, stability and safety. The outcome of their research is called 4control, and it delivers a new level of driving pleasure. A mechanical system with electronic dynamic logic. Developed jointly by the Renault and Renaultsport technology teams, the 4control 4-wheel steering chassis is based on electronic control of the vehicles stability.
The interior of the New Laguna Coupe gives pride of place to the finest materials. The sense of luxury stems both from the quality finish as well as the wealth of refinements. The leather steering wheel with stylish stitching, the chrome gear knob, the genuine aluminium trim on the dashboard and on the door panel all the underline the exclusive nature of the vehicle.
For the past 100 years, Renault has been one of the motor industry’s most notable innovators. But we have never been motivated by a purely abstract notion of progress. Our objective has always been a purely practical one: to serve the needs of the people who use our vehicles. We know that it is not for people to adapt to our cars, but for our cars to adapt to people. This is why we believe, for instance, that a response to the environmental challenges of the 21st century should involve a lot more than taking measures to reduce CO2 emissions. Every motor vehicle has an impact upon the environment, not only during its service life, but before and after it, as well. This is why Renault Eco2 vehicles are produced in environmentally responsible, ISO 14001-certified factories, it’s why our cars emit less than 140g of CO2 /km and why they are not only 85% recyclable but actually use already-recycled plastic materials in their production. Reassuringly, the occupants of today’s Renault cars are protected more completely and more effectively than ever before. The effectiveness of our innovative new safety systems is underwritten by rigorous analysis and testing. And equally importantly, having established that the systems truly do work, we fit them – as standard – to every vehicle we make. As a result, Renault is the only marque in the world able to offer 10 vehicles with the maximum rating of 5 stars in the Euro-NCAP* crash tests. In our view, progress is not progress unless it is shared by all. This is why every Renault offers a unique combination of build quality, comfort, road holding, ergonomics, safety and environmental protection – all under the banner of The Renault Standard. And if that title sounds a little ambitious, its intention couldn’t be clearer – it is, quite simply, to make your life better.
