The Renault Laguna’s sloping rear glass and rounded tail make it an elegant alternative to conventional estate cars. The traditional mid-size car sector might have seen better days, but Renault's effort to give the Laguna a lift has created a car worthy of praise.

The Renault Laguna was first produced in 1993 in hatchback form, two years later in 1995 the estate version was also introduced which is commonly known as the Laguna Sport Tourer. The first generation Laguna received a facelift in 1998 before it was replaced in 2000.

The second generation Laguna was built on the same chassis as the Nissan Primera and contained an updated engine and more equipment to choose from. This Laguna was also the first car in the European market which received 5 stars in the EuroNCAP crash test. The second generation received a facelift in 2005 before it was replaced by the third generation model in 2007.

The third generation model is the first to be offered in coupe form which was designed to compete with other cars such as the Volkswagen Passat CC and the Peugeot 407 Coupe. The third generation Laguna also received a facelift in 2010 to ensure it is never dated.
