Renault Laguna Coupe - 2 new high performance engines set to make debut too

Set to launch at the Paris Motor Show next month, on sale in the UK in October

The new Renault Laguna Coupé will be debut at the forthcoming Paris Motor Show. As the spearhead of the Laguna range, it has been designed to offer sheer driving pleasure and plays a key role in Renault's brand's expansion in the luxury end of the market.

Under the bonnet of Renault Laguna Coupé, the brand-new V6 dCi develops 235hp and peak torque of 450Nm. The same figure for the petrol 3.5 V6 powerplant, which is mated for the first time with the AJ0 automatic six-speed transmission it shares with the diesel engine, is 330Nm, with maximum power of 240hp. In this configuration, Renault Laguna Coupé can accelerate from rest to 62 mph in less than seven seconds. It also naturally benefits from the best engines available in the rest of the New Laguna range, in particular the top performing versions of the range's two-litre petrol and diesel powerplants.

Laguna Coupé will be introduced progressively across the Renault sales network from mid-October featuring a long list of high-end equipment.
