New Laguna Estate: Responsiveness, Stability, Precision. Reach a new level of driving pleasure with New Laguna and enjoy exemplary road holding. Comfort and silence that come with superior build quality and complete control that allows you to experience new sensations.
Designed to express driving pleasure, Renault Laguna Estate's flowing exterior lines are elegantly streamlined and redolent of the 'shooting break' spirit. With its large air-intake picked out by a chrome strip, the front end's looks point to the satisfying power plants available underneath its long, raked bonnet. The profiled headlamp modules are particularly expressive, too, and the layout of the three light sources gives Renault Laguna Estate a particularly piercing gaze. With an overall length and width of 4.80 and 1.81 metres respectively, Renault Laguna Estate features perfectly balanced proportions, while its personality and propulsive feel are underpinned by the plunging character line of the sides. The chrome side window surrounds form a flowing arch that further highlights the model's status-enhancing looks.
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.
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.
Renault Laguna II was the first ever vehicle to achieve a five-star rating in the passive safety assessment tests carried out by the independent body, Euro NCAP. It was a result that took the automobile into a new era and it is today the turn of New Laguna to be awarded the maximum score. With a total of 36 points from a possible 37, the newcomer even outperformed its predecessor to once again highlight Renault's expertise in the realm of passive safety. In addition to its Euro NCAP credentials, New Laguna delivers reassuring handling thanks to its precise, responsive chassis, while at the same time ensuring a level of braking and technology that puts the model at the top end of its category in real-life motoring conditions.
New Laguna has been the object of special attention throughout its development. Its robustness, inherent in its design, takes into account maintenance and repair. The testing process, already carried out on Modus and Clio, has been reinforced for New Laguna. More than 150 specific supplementary tests have been carried out within the framework of the Laguna Top 3 Renault Excellence plan. Three electronic integration platforms, which reproduced the electric and electronic architecture of the vehicle, allowed engineers to simulate all possible combinations and to ensure impeccable functioning. Solutions to problems found in vehicles in the past, particularly in Laguna II, during the warranty period and during technical checks, have been the object of special attention, in the form of 650 points. All interior cables in the New Laguna sunroof now have integral protection and the optional connectors are systematically immobilised. With these tests, carried out on test beds in the factory, New Laguna has passed all tests and been validated on every criteria relating to robustness, including noise. In tests, the vehicle has also been stretched to the limit, both in accordance with European usage, but also international, in extremes of temperature. Driven on a circuit and on the open road, more than 120 New Laguna have already driven the equivalent total of more than six million kilometres in pre-launch tests. Discreetly, with the aim of evaluating its reaction to extreme conditions, New Laguna has already driven roads around the globe: in Argentina, Russia, Malaysia and Australia. During this specific validation programme, the car was put to the test in gruelling climatic and usage conditions: with extremes of heat, humidity, dust, mud, severe cold, high speeds, altitude, poor road surfaces etc. Every kilometre covered was three times more extreme than the usual conditions met by our customers. New Laguna is also the first vehicle to have benefited during its development from the EMC (Electro-Magnetic Compatibility) unit, launched in early 2006 at the Aubevoye Technical Centre.
