With a length of 4.64 metres and a width of 1.83 metres, its proportions are nicely balanced, while the character line which stems from the grille rises forcefully along its flanks, like a wave of air, gracefully underpinning the design of its front wings before extending rearwards to highlight its muscular haunches.
The glazed area of its windows is shown off to its best advantage by a pure, flowing arc. Sitting on its 18-inch aluminium alloy wheels, Renault Laguna Coupe’s stance exudes a sense of dynamism and power thanks to a wheelbase dimension of 2.69m and a height of 1.40m. This sensation is echoed by the pronounced crease-lines of its long bonnet and by its new variant headlamps. The rear, meanwhile, features a very short overhang and broad, slim lights which give this Renault a very cosmopolitan look. Laguna
The chassis excels in active safety, both under difficult braking conditions (with impressive control over asymmetrical grip and with the ESP matched to a more sporting driving style), and during avoidance manoeuvres at speed (‘elk’ test).
Additionally there is a BOSE® sound system and full colour 3D satellite navigation with Bluetooth and 230W audio system MP3 6CD changer (in-dash).
