Renault Laguna test drive since 2007 hatchback

Test drive by Renault Laguna: Correct Course

One of the first joint creations of Renault-Nissan was the new Laguna III, whose world premiere took place back in September 2007 at the International Motorshow in Frankfurt.
The French car, that the French woman is elegant, unpredictable and somewhere even capricious. I have not yet met such a contradictory attitude as the creations of the French automotive industry. However, times are changing, and against the background of general globalization, large companies, including automobile ones, are forced to unite for the benefit of each other, sharing their achievements and technologies.
One of the first joint creations of Renault-Nissan was the new Laguna III, whose world premiere took place back in September 2007 at the International Motorshow in Frankfurt.
A striking example of the French car concerts, which, thanks to cooperation with the Germans and the Japanese, were able to significantly improve the quality of their cars and get new technologies in the field of engine structure. Renault, which created an alliance with the Japanese auto giant Nissan, was no exception.
The massive back of the hatchback with a narrow LED optics of its French elegance refreshes the controversial design of the lagoon.
One of the first joint creations of Renault-Nissan was the new Laguna III, whose world premiere took place back in September 2007 at the International Motorshow in Frankfurt. Despite this, Renault Laguna is still in the rank of novelties in Russia, as its Russian sales started only a year after the official premiere.
The front panel, as it is now fashionable to say, a sandwich type, with a smooth bend vaguely resembles a new BMW style. The quality of finishing materials was pleasantly surprised. All panels are adjusted evenly, plastic is not only a pleasant look, but also soft to the touch.
The appearance of Laguna III can not be called controversial. A pretty profile with many smooth lines and transitions does not fit with a heavy nose, which is crowned with a heavy bumper and headlights of the head of irregular shape, expressing a deep surprise with their eyes to everything that is happening. The massive back of the hatchback with a narrow LED optics, on the contrary, looks very fresh and elegant in French.
Compared to the predecessor, the third Laguna has traditionally increased in size. Despite this, through the use of new materials, the hatchback threw 15 kg.
The lever of the 6-speed mechanical transmission has good selectivity, but the moves could be less. Microclimate control is implemented using an original block between the air ducts. Small buttons of the audio system are not convenient. The dashboard, on the contrary, has excellent informativeness - you will not hold it.
The salon added space. Now passengers have received more space at the shoulder level, and the rear riders will appreciate the spaces in the legs. But the main thing is in another! Renault Laguna III received a completely new interior. The front panel, as it is now fashionable to say, a sandwich type, with a smooth bend vaguely resembles a new BMW style. An excellent informative dashboard cannot be held. In the central part between the two air ducts, the original climate control control unit is located, just below the audio system with an uncomfortable button volume control. The quality of finishing materials was pleasantly surprised. All panels are adjusted evenly, plastic is not only a pleasant look, but also soft to the touch. And this is no wonder. A qualitatively new level of interior decoration is nothing more than the desire of the French to create healthy competition to the leaders of the D-class, and to select buyers from Volkswagen Passat, you need to try very hard.
Laguna Renault
Here are the French and try. Separate praises deserve seats. These are no longer amorphous soft chairs, but well -stained moderately hard seats with good lateral support and large adjustments. However, the rear sofa is also well -given well, and the spaces are more than enough for three. The trunk of a hatchback with a volume of 450 liters does not claim to be leadership in the classroom, and there is nothing to boast of the ergonomics of useful space.
Technically, the car has not changed much. The platform remained the same. The suspension was subjected to refinement: stabilizers of the antimony stability became a little thicker, more rigid springs appeared 20% in front and 50% behind.
In the Russian market, Renault Laguna III is represented by 1.6- and 2.0-liter atmospheric motors with a capacity of 115 and 140 hp, which are equipped only with a 6-speed manual gearbox, as well as a turbocharged 170-horsepower version of a 2-gas-2-gas-2-volume. 0 liter and a turbodiesel of the same volume with a capacity of 150 hp, which are supplied with a 6-band automaton.
Renault Laguna with a 2.0-liter engine with a capacity of 140 hp visited the test on our test. In a good, although not the richest configuration of Dynamique. We insert the key card into the slot on the front panel and press the Start/Stop button. To determine that the engine has started, you can only on the rising arrow of the tachometer over the improvement of sound insulation, a lot of work was done!
The rear sofa is perfectly satisfied for two. However, three adults will be quite comfortable here.
The 140-horsepower motor is lucky without excitement. The new engine, which is a joint development of the Renault-Nissan alliance, is endowed with a fairly even characteristic and only at the very top is a barely noticeable pickup. For urban battles, enough, but when overtaking on the highway, you need to be more careful at a high speed of sharp acceleration, do not wait.

But few can boast of the comfort that the lagoon gives to its passengers. Despite the increased rigidity of the suspension, Laguna III simply does not notice the small joints and bumps, and the bumps are extinguished more silently for passengers. The increased stiffness of the springs and the thickness of the stabilizers reduced the rolls in corners and made the handling of the hatchback more precisely and clearer. Moderate the sharp steering wheel and good feedback allow you to accurately determine the trajectory of the turn of the turn even at maximum speeds.

With the release of the third generation of Renault Laguna, in terms of controllability and comfort, the French stepped a step higher, thereby approaching German cars. As for the future third lagoon in Russia, of course, it will not become the leader of the segment, but with access to a qualitatively new Renault level, it will undoubtedly increase its position on our car market.
The trunk with a volume of 450 liters does not claim to be leadership in the classroom. If you fold the rear row of seats, then its volume will increase to 1377 liters.
