At the beginning of the '90s, Renault started to upgrade its lineup and to change the names of its vehicles, from numbers to names. The 1994 Laguna was a good example. A car that came to replace the aged Renault 21.
Patrick LeQuement, the chief-designer from Renault, started to shape the car in the late '80s. The new, curved-style era started to catch-up with the European design themes, and models such as Ford Mondeo and Opel Vectra were shaped accordingly. The car shape was ready by the beginning of 1990, but the project was postponed for another year when the road-tests were started.
In 1993 the final product was launched in November, after the Frankfurt Motor Show. The 2 ½ box design was usual for the Renault brand, who used that type for the Renault 20, 25, and Safrane, which was launched in 1992. The new headlights were longer and curved, unlike the square type from the previous models. Also, the taillights had rounded edges.
The interior featured five seats with rear folding bench, to extend the trunk space. The driver had a modern dashboard and an airbag. Later models had dual front airbags.
For the engines, the Laguna offered various options, both gasoline and diesel units. The most powerful version was a 3.0-liter V6 bi-turbo with 267 hp.
