Renault Laguna is a mid-size car and belongs to the D-class. To date, there are three generations that include different body types of the Renault Laguna: station wagon, hatchback and three-door coupe. For the latest generation, French engineers used the Nissan platform, which assembles business class cars.

First generation (1994)

The car was first introduced in 1993, and official sales began only in mid-1994. The Renault Laguna station wagon entered car dealerships a year later - in 1995.

All body parts are galvanized and protected from corrosion by a special composition. The driving characteristics of the station wagon, hatchback and coupe do not differ from each other. Basic configurations are equipped with an advanced security system, modern functionality, power steering, immobilizer and central locking.

There were several types of engines to choose from:

• Gasoline installations with a volume of 1, 6; eighteen;2.0 and 3.0 liters that produce between 107 and 200 horsepower.
• Turbo diesels with volumes of 1.9 and 2.2 liters. The maximum output of the 2.2-liter unit reaches 115 horsepower.

Motors are equipped with 8 or 16 valves and are able to drive more than 300,000 kilometers without problems.

Design "Renault Laguna" station wagon from the first days of sales car owners liked. Instances in decent condition are often found on the roads.

Second generation (2001)

In 2001, a new generation of the popular "Laguna" went on sale. The update affected the appearance, chassis settings and range of engines. Now the Renault Laguna station wagon was built on a platform from the Nissan Examples, which made it possible to significantly improve the steering and increase the carrying capacity.

As a result of the tests, the car received the maximum rating in crash tests. A solid five had a positive impact on the increase in sales. Renault Laguna station wagon diesel and all petrol versions for the first time received smart start without a key. The car comes with a special card, similar in appearance to a bank card, which is automatically read by the system and identified as the original key. Starting the engine is now done using the Start/Stop button.

After the update, a new power plant appeared - a diesel unit with a capacity of 150 horsepower with a volume of 2.0 liters. The unit is built from scratch andworks with a small turbo that swells early at low revs and performs well in city driving.

"Renault Laguna" station wagon, reviews of which are extremely positive, is often found on sale in excellent condition and low mileage. The galvanized body withstands even caustic reagents and reliably protects all parts from rust.

Description of the new car

In the summer of 2007, a new car was introduced, which was a logical continuation of the second generation in terms of suspension, steering and design. All modifications are also built on the Nissan platform.

Reno-Laguna wagon, whose performance has improved significantly, won first place in the nomination "The most beautiful interior of 2007".

Exterior

The restyled model is equipped with a sloping hood that turns into complex headlights. Separate lensed modules, which are built into the black mask of the headlight, are responsible for the dipped and main beam. All versions with xenon are equipped with an automatic corrector that adjusts the beam of light depending on the position of the body. The design does not provide for the presence of a front grille, its role is played by a diffuser built into the bumper. Fog lights and LED daytime running lights are placed on the sides of the bumper. The bottom of the bumper is not covered with protective plastic, so it quickly becomes covered with chips and cracks.

The image does not convey all the beauty and smoothness of the Renault Laguna station wagon lines. The photo makes the side part flat, so it's hard to catch all the ideasFrench engineers. The swift body line originates from the front fender and continues to the rear lights. Clearly along the line are the door opening handles, which have built-in touch recognition sensors. The rear-view mirrors are large enough and are decorated with a turn signal repeater. The roof is equipped with roof rails that hold up to 100 kilograms of weight and are painted in silver regardless of the configuration.

The stern is made in a classic style, but the presence of a double-barreled exhaust hints at the power contained under the hood. The droplet lanterns go strongly onto the rear fender, but do not occupy the trunk lid. The loading compartment is made in a convenient rectangular shape and at a low height from the ground. The towing eye is screwed into the amplifier, which is located behind the bumper. To access the installation location, you must remove the decorative cap on the right side above the exhaust pipe.

Interior

The driver is greeted by a comfortable leather steering wheel with a slight bevel at the bottom and built-in keys. The steering column allows you to choose a comfortable position. The dashboard is not innovative and is made in a classic form with arrows and a screen in the middle.

The center console looks solid and rich. Throughout the panel there is a silver insert under the metal. In the central upper part there is a large color display from the multimedia system, just below the intricately shaped air ducts. An interesting solution was the design of the climate control system, which occupied a niche betweenair ducts.

Armchairs with increased lateral support and advanced adjustments can be made of dense fabric or leather. The station wagon version implies only 5 passengers, the 7-seater versions ended on the first generation.

2, 0-liter gasoline unit will require no more than 6.5 liters of gasoline outside the city and about 10.7 liters in city traffic. In winter, this indicatorincreases by an average of 1.5-2 liters.

The diesel engine has a more moderate appetite. Outside the city, 5.7 liters will be required for 100 kilometers, and in mixed mode, the consumption will not go beyond 7.1 liters.

Owner Reviews

Reno owners enjoy value for money and enjoy buying both new and used vehicles.

The cost of spare parts is average. For example, a shock absorber strut will cost 3,500 rubles, and a ball strut will cost 1,500 rubles. Attachments and powerplants rarely require large infusions, even after 200,000 kilometers.

The body is reliably protected from corrosion, so most of the copies on the secondary market are in decent condition. Cars from Germany and the USA are often on sale, in which more powerful engines are installed, the maintenance of which will require more money and attention. Versions for Russia are as reliable as possible and have increased ground clearance, which is a good sign for a purchase.
