Revealed: Renault’s new Laguna Coupe Concept
Revealed: Renault’s new Laguna Coupe Concept
Posted on Friday 7 September 2007
The new Laguna is a crucial model for Renault, so much so that CEO Carlos Ghosn has admitted the carmaker is staking its reputation on the launch of the new sedan next month. Not surprisingly Renault plans to launch several variants of the car including a new two-door model due to arrive on the market by the middle of next year.
Though still a concept, next year’s production version is expected to be almost identical although we suspect the interior will be toned down to match the cabin of the sedan. The concept car features frameless windows, a six-speed automatic transmission and black powder-coated alloys. Other goodies include LED detailing and a rear diffuser.
Renault is yet to reveal any details on the mechanicals of the new coupe-concept but expect any production version to get a similar lineup to the new sedan and estate models. This means a series of diesel and petrol four-cylinder engines ranging from 1.6L to 2.0L with output ranging from 112hp to 204hp. Stay tuned for official details following the launch of the concept at next week’s Frankfurt Motor Show.

Not bad, but there seems to be 'nothing new' about it.

Did 'the Riddler' from Batman design the shifter?

We have Renault in Mexico and used to have the Laguna here. I have to admit this is an excellent new design. however, the thing that has always been lackluster for the Laguna is the power and price. Lots of friends easily passed over the Laguna in favor of the more powerful Clio Sport and Megane Sport models for a cheaper price
