Renault will on sale put the new Lagoon at the end of 2007. It is a completely new model, not an update of the model that still is sold (his first version is of 2001 principles). The new Renault Laguna will have three years of guarantee or 150,000 km.
Like that it is still on sale, he will be available with two bodies, one of five doors and another relative (Renault denominates at the moment to the familiar Lagoon “Grand Tour”).
At the moment of the launching, it will be on sale with a variety of four diesel engines and two of gasoline, all of four cylinders. The Diesel engine dCi of 110 CV is a 1.5 l (like which they have other models of Renault, but with 4 CV more) and three variants of the 2.0 l dCi, with 130, 150 or 173 CV (although Renault talks about to this last one like 175 CV).
Those of gasoline are a 2.0 atmospheric l of 140 CV and a 2.0 l with turbocompressor, of 170 CV. More ahead there will be motors of six cylinders. In some markets there will be an atmospheric gasoline of 1.6 ls.
The one of gasoline of 170 CV comes necessarily united to a new automatic gear box from six speeds; a box of this type will be able to be chosen for the Diesel engine of 150 CV.
With body of five doors it measures 4.69 ms of length (the present one measures 4.60 ms). That is to say, he is almost equal of length that a Peugeot 407. Ford Mondeo of five doors is clearly greater (4.78 ms).
The version with familiar body is longer (4.8 ms), because it has a maletero of more capacity and projecting a more length.
The volume of the maletero the Lagoon of five doors is 450 ls: it is a small maletero for a car of this size. With familiar body, the maletero has 501 ls (until the cover that cover it), that although is not either much, it is a data comparativily better. However, in this familiar body, the inner door is very inclined, which is possible that it limits the lifting capacity of the maletero over cortinilla that covers it.
The version with familiar body is more functional than the one of five because it has a control in the maletero that drives a wharf that automatically folds the endorsements of the back seats, being left a surface of flat full load with the maletero of 2.01 ms of length. In addition, the maletero of the relative has compartments closed in the lateral ones (image), hooks to hang bags and a device that divides the maletero to take the ordered luggage more (image). Optionally, the back moon can have independent opening of the inner door (image).
Between the elements that will be able to have the equipped versions more of the Lagoon, they are the electrical hand brake, the starting by means of button or lights of double xenon with system of illumination in curve and control of the pressure of the tires.
There are two possible systems of navigation. Most complete it includes/understands a screen of 7 ” with images in three dimensions, connection “Bluetooth” for the telephone, shipper of six discs with MP3 and control by voice. Economic it will have images in two dimensions, “Bluetooth” and control by voice for some functions. The connection “Blueetooth” also will be able to be acquired separated of the positioning system. The guantera can have connections for external reproducers of sound.
The navigator handles from a round control and a set of bellboys whom there are between the front seats (image); this solution already has the present Lagoon. In this position also the control of the regulator and the speed-limiter are located; in other east Renault control is placed in the salpicadero.
The interior has wood details (image) for the versions with equipment “Initiale”. For the level of equipment “Dynamique”, the seats have more lateral support for the body, the tapestry is of Alcántara and skin, and is details in the salpicadero in some material of similar aspect to a metal (image). In addition, in these versions the steering wheel is flattened on the other hand inferior.
In some versions the front seats can have electrical regulation and heating. Of series, all will not have regulation in height for the companion.
Between the safety measures they emphasize airbags lateral for the front seats, that have two sensors (one in the pillar which there is between the doors and another one in the front doors) to determine with more precision lateral the optimal moment to swell airbags; I am aribag are of double camera and they are possible to be swollen to two different pressures, based on the characteristics of the impact.
The front lap belts take two tensions of emergency that throw both of extreme of the belt: one in the band of pelvis and another one in which it is in the chest; this favors that the hip as much as the back separates of the less possible seat in case of frontal impact. Behind, also it can have conventional tensions of emergency in the two seats of the sides. In option it can have Isofix fixations for sillitas of children. All the seats have tension limitors.
The new Renault Laguna has a system of ventilation of double zone, where the conductor can choose three automatic programs of distribution of the air (smooth, automatic and fast). First it gives priority to that the ventilation noise is reduced; the express serves to reach before, or to maintain, a given temperature, but it generates more noise). Renault has placed the controls of the air conditioning in an elevated position, in center of the salpicadero.
The instrumentation can be illuminated in two colors and the versions with manual change have an indicator that warns of the optimal moment to change of march to obtain a low consumption. Also there is an indicator that warn of the necessity to change the oil of the motor and other that if warns an occupant of anyone of the seats does not take the fastened lap belt.
It is the first Renault with the placed lateral intermitencias in the rear-view ones. The pilots of the body of five doors are of luminous diodes. Based on the version, there are two exits of escape to both sides of the back part of the body and the rims can be of 16, 17 or 18 ” of diameter.
