The RENAULT LAGUNA (2001-07) 5DR SPORT TOURER 1.9 DCI 120 EXTREME is a large family estate, rather than a hatchback or SUV, combining Laguna saloon comfort with a useful five-door load area. In the UK market it offered practical space and diesel economy at an accessible price, appealing to buyers wanting a roomy long-distance car without paying for a premium badge. The 1.9 dCi 120 diesel suits regular commuting, motorway journeys and family trips, while the estate body makes room for luggage, shopping or hobbies. It is best for drivers who value comfort and carrying capacity over sporty handling or compact-city convenience. Against rivals such as the Ford Mondeo estate and Peugeot 406 estate, the Laguna stands out as an affordable, comfortable alternative.
