Updated: Official details for Renault's new Laguna

Renault has revealed details for its new midsized Laguna sedan, a car its designers claim is significantly better on the inside than anything else in its price range. Inside, occupants are treated to real wood and metal paneling as well as a new-design center console. Other new features for the model include an electric handbrake, remote engine starting, and xenon lights.

The familiar 130hp (96kW) and 175hp (127kW) versions of the 2.0L dCi engine from the current model carry over, with both engines mated to Renault's AJO automatic transmission. The most economic motor, however, is a small 1.5L dCi motor with 110hp (81kW) that consumes just 5.1L per 100km and emits only 136g of CO2/km. Completing the range is a petrol powered 2.0L motor jointly developed by Renault and Nissan, which outputs 145hp (103.4kW) and a 170hp (125kW) 2.0L turbo.

Other significant changes over the previous model include uprated suspension, increased sound-proofing and a closer-ratio steering set-up. Luxury details include chrome side window mounts, elegant 18in wheels (16in as standard), and a high waistline that leads to LED rear lights.

The new Laguna will be unveiled to the public at September's Frankfurt Motor Show and is scheduled to go on sale in the following month. Click ahead for a gallery of official images.
