Renault Laguna (2007-) Review

Category: Large Family 4 out of 5

Summary of the Renault Laguna (2007-)

Price Range: No data available

Assets

Precise steering, refined engines, quiet, well packaged.

Drawbacks

Not the prettiest car, jury out on reliability.

Verdict

Renault has built a solid, well-packaged car - but it just lacks that certain je ne sais quoi to be able to beat the Mondeo.

Review

Safety and Security5 out of 5

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 the new car has a long list of active and passive safety features to ensure that 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, plus automatic door-locking at speeds over 5mph.
