The refined lines of the new Laguna have been carefully studied to give the car a more dynamic compared to the former modèle.De is to say, as some on radio, that this car has the air of BMW, it must still not wishful realities. The Renault family has little common the point with rounds 3 and 5 German.
But like it, the pleasure of driving is respected and this majestically chassis is undoubtedly among the best available on the market for management. The work was focused on driving pleasure but not only. The noise also provides more comfort for our hearing.
At engine, we find the usual range versions with 130 hp and 175 IBD 2 liters very effective when coupled with the automatic transmission Renault. Meanwhile, for those looking for the economy, DCI 1.5 liter will perfectly the case since his repect of the environment is particularly pushed with a consumption of 5.1 litres/100km (or 136g CO2/km) . It offers a compromise of the most attractive market between performance, fuel economy and CO2 emissions.
Developed jointly by Renault and Nissan, the 2.0 16V petrol engine 145Cv very flexible to ensure the highest comfort in terms of acoustics. Any technology of Renault in terms of security both passive and active contribution is made in the new Laguna. The equipment includes side airbags for a new generation to protect the chest and pelvis with a double room, a dual pressure system triggered by two sensors located in the front door and a B-pillar. A specific algorithm adjusts the time of deployment of the system according to the force of impact. The brakes of the Laguna are also among the most resistant on the market. Comfort is optimized to a level rarely achieved successfully redefined and new standards for its segment, thanks notably to more effective soundproofing between the engine and body.
To regulate the temperature inside the cabin, the introduction of a new generation compressor capable of producing a cold air quickly has been achieved and encourages him comfort.

The new Laguna was built to last with a greater robustness as reliability: This is one of the arguments made by the CEO of Renault's plan for 2009. Thus, this new model is one of three cars in its segment in terms of quality and maintenance. The car has been extensively tested with over 120 test models that have been subjected to the equivalent of six million km of test for the most in a delicate climate and road in a state unimaginable.
In terms of maintenance costs and working capital is a car that is very profitable. We were already accustomed to having couûts reduced for the Logan but with a car that level, much less: this has been achieved thanks to 110Cv dCi diesel engines and 150cv whose fuel consumption is 5.1 litres/100km respectively and 6.0 litres/100km, equivalent to 136g and 158g CO2/km. To further optimize fuel consumption, the laguna is a scheme and reduced his weight on the balance of 15kg over its predecessor.
