renault-reveals-the-laguna-coupe

Hatchbacks, SUVs, fast cars, electric cars: Renault makes them all, in a variety of shapes and sizes, so it has a line-up designed to tempt pretty much everyone.

From the roadside, the standout feature of them all is the design, with its cars now having a distinctive look that has won the firm a legion of fans for its flair and charm.

To drive and to own, the line-up is typically decent rather than outstanding. Best of the cars when they are rated against rivals are the Kadjar SUV, the fast RS models and the electric Zoe.

With new and used pricing also keen – and Target Price discounts through our New Car Buying marketplace usually more generous than most – there is the opportunity to negotiate an appealing price.

LAGUNA

This is the Renault Laguna coupe, which will go on sale this November. The car was originally unveiled in concept form at last year's Frankfurt motor show, but the production version has lost much of the sharper styling, including the distinctive scissor doors. However, the car is different to the Laguna hatch. It features new front wings, bonnet and bumper. At the rear, the concept cars narrow LED tail lights have made it into production, although the shape of the bootlid has changed.

Power is provided by engines from the existing Laguna range, plus new 3.0-litre petrol and 3.5-litre diesel engines. The 232bhp 3.0-litre diesel has 332b ft of pulling power, while the 237bhp 3.5-litre petrol unit offers 243lb ft of pulling power. Both come with an automatic transmission. Higher-spec versions will be available with Renaults Active Drive four-wheel-steering system, as used on the Laguna GT. Prices are expected to start at around 22,000, rising to around 27,000 for the range-topping V6 models.
