Beautifully refined petrol engine, predictable handling, classy cabin, precise steering.
Not hugely fun to drive, poor residuals, pricey, uninspiring looks, diesel is a bit noisy.
A far superior Laguna. It's easy to drive and the four-wheel steering is a success. It's good, but not engaging.
Renault is renowned for its safety - the last Laguna was the first car to be awarded five stars in the Euro NCAP crash tests and it scored a class-leading 36 out of 37 points. It also scored an impressive four out of four stars for child protection and two stars (out of four) for pedestrian safety.
There's a long list of active and passive safety features to ensure it maintains those high standards and remains one of the safest cars in its class. So there's ABS with electronic brakeforce distribution (EBD), emergency brake assistance (EBA), plus ESP and ASR traction control as standard. There are six airbags, plus an optional rear thorax 'bag; pre-tensioning seatbelts and an anti-submarining system in the front seats; three-point belts throughout with stress limiters; and Isofix fixings and optional convertible child headrests. Security comes in the form of a central locking deadlocks, immobiliser and Category 1 alarm, anti-drill door locks, plus automatic door-locking at speeds of more than 5mph.
