The special edition Laguna Coupé features a Pearlescent White metallic paint job with contrasting Pearl Black roof, a set of black 18-inch 'Interlagos' alloy wheels and matching folding door mirrors.
It's only been a year since Renault lifted the veil off the third generation Laguna hatchback but according to a report from France's Auto Plus car magazine, the mid-size sedan and its estate sibling will soon receive a very mild makeover. Changes include a new front bumper, the addition of LED daytime running lights, a restyled rear bumper and newly shaped tail lamps. While there's nothing really wrong with the car itself, the latest Renault Laguna has garnered a lukewarm reception from consumers and the press alike due to its yawning styling, especially in what concerns the 5door liftback variant.
But if Renault really wants to turn the tables, then the French automaker will definitely have to make a lot more changes to the Laguna than this subtle, and in our opinion, rather meaningless facelift.

According to Renault, at £22,345, the entry-level petrol, Coupé 2.0 Turbo 205HP undercuts its equivalent BMW rival, the 325i SE Coupe, by a significant £6,805 at list price, even without taking into account its additional £1,000 worth of standard equipment.
The basic trim level's standard features include an Arkamys 3D Sound 140W audio system with MP3 CD reader and Bluetooth, 18-inch 'Interlagos' alloy wheels, eight airbags, automatic lights and wipers, dual zone climate control, electric heated door mirrors, MP3 player connection, rear parking sensors, Super Fold rear seat system, twin chrome exhausts (except 2.0 dCi 150 manual) and xenon headlights.
The range-topping Coupe GT benefits additionally from Renault's 4Control chassis, first seen on GT versions of New Laguna Hatch and Sport Tourer, as well as from the 18-inch 'Celsium' alloy wheels, cruise control, automatic parking brake, electrochrome rear view mirror, electrically heated and folding door mirrors, GT leather steering wheel, leather upholstery (choice of beige, dark carbon, light grey or 'camel'), Renault Hands Free keycard and speed limiter.
