Renault Laguna dimensions

The Renault Laguna Sport Tourer looks best when viewed in profile, as the pronounced rising waistline gives the vehicle a little dynamism. Details such as roof bars and privacy glass help create an upmarket appeal, but sadly the front is not so convincing and the back is just plain anonymous. The GT Line edition we tested featured black alloy wheels, striking blue paintwork and aluminium roof rails, giving owners the feature of a Renault Laguna Sport Tourer with a performance picture.

The Renault Laguna's 1567-litre, maximum load room can't match the Ford Mondeo's 1733, litres. With the back seatings in place the Renault Laguna offers 485 litres, placing it on a par with most of its competitors. Lowering the back seatings is a easy task as they fold flat at the push of a lever. The loading lip is wide and low, while the boot is a practical shape with no intrusions impeding on the load space.

Five versions are offered: Expression, Dynamique Tomtom, Dynamique Tomtom Initiale Lux Pack and GT Line Tomtom. Base vehicles get electric windows, a Cd/tuner, air-con and 16-inch alloy wheels while Dynamique adds cruise control, front fog lights and part-leather trim. Higher-spec GT models option 18-inch alloys, sports seatings, improved look trim, metallic paint, back parking sensors, conditioning plus automatic lights and wipers.
