Renault Laguna Coupe


With its lackluster looks and less than stellar ambitions, the latest Laguna hatchback has garnered a lukewarm reception — which makes this sleek concept a very pleasant surprise. It’s everything the hatch isn’t: fresh, clean, eye-catching and poised. Renault’s take on a large, high-end, touring coupe, with an emphasis on beauty and comfort, its flowing profile, long nose and short rear overhang are exquisitely balanced while the side windows form a strong, elegant arc echo the sweeping roofline. Power comes from a new Renault-Nissan 265-hp V6. Take away the scissor doors, and it’s a real production possibility. So now we know where all that famous French flair has gone.
