Renault Laguna

Known for being reliable, spacious and one of the safest models on the road, it’s no wonder the Renault Laguna is such a popular choice with taxi drivers and families alike.

There is also a model to suit everyone’s taste - from the entry-level Expression through to the Sporty Dynamique and lavish Initiale range-toppers. Rivalling the popular Ford Mondeo, the Renault Laguna offers a smooth and luxurious driving experience which incorporates a carefully engineered accident protection system. 
It’s worth noting too that the Laguna was the first car in its class to gain the maximum five star rating in the tough Euro NCAP crash tests.   

The Renault Laguna is also easy to drive and a solid performer.  Its generously equipped interior cabin offers a very comfortable driving experience, making the car feel executive and classy -  although this is achieved without the associated price tag.  For taxi drivers looking for a reliable cab, with fantastic specification at an equally fantastic cost, the Renault Laguna comes up trumps.

Top Spec

If you like your gadgets then the Renault Laguna is the taxi for you.  With standard features such as electric windows front and rear, air conditioning, 16” alloy wheels and Bluetooth™ and MP3 connectivity, the Laguna is sure to impress. 

In the impressive mid-range Dynamique model, as well as Tom Tom sat nav, automatic headlights and cruise control, you‘ll also benefit from Renault’s legendary ‘intelligent key’ system.  This means, providing you have the key with you, you can unlock the car at just the touch of the door handle and start at the press of a button.  Walk away and the car will also lock itself up – a major plus point when you’re constantly getting in and out of your car. 

Interior

Inside, the cabin offers both style and luxury.  Big comfortable seats which are part-covered in leather are ideal for anyone facing long shifts behind the wheel.  The expensive looking dash - made from a mix of high quality plastic and shiny aluminium - and a sporty wheel with a soft leather-clad rim also make for a rewarding driving experience.

The front chairs and wheel ease up and down into position very easily and in the back there is genuinely plenty of room for three adults – a crucial consideration for taxi drivers.  The rear seats also fold flat, which coupled with the model’s huge boot, gives a practicality which is hard to match. 

Taxi Economy

In practice Laguna’s diesel engines are very reliable – performing consistently well and delivering great fuel efficiency.  This makes the Laguna a strong contender within the taxi market and an excellent choice for economy-conscious drivers.

The popular 110PS DCi is very refined, with smooth power delivery and little engine noise, even under full throttle.  Important for hard working taxi drivers spending many hours on the road is the reassurance Renault’s special taxi warranty providing assurance for three-years or 60,000 miles.

Delivering an enjoyable and comfortable drive with, perhaps, surprising economical benefits, the Renault Laguna is a reliable choice for taxi drivers looking for a solid all-round performing car.
