Also interesting is whether to take advantage of the load the Renault Laguna Grand Tour up to the ceiling, but the drop is that the gate (it is much tended), the Renault Laguna Grand Tour is not particularly profitable when compared to other family members.

The carrier is not notable for the breadth, the legroom in the rear seats; the width and height are fairer to the dimensions of the car. A Volkswagen Passat Variant or a Ford Mondeo are preferable in these aspects. The front seats are identical to those of the saloon.

At the time of writing this information, the range of engines available is almost identical to the version with five-door body, the only difference is that the Renault Laguna Grand Tour can not be combined with the petrol engine 1.6 l 112 hp.

This serves well to facilitate the maneuvers or so the Renault Laguna Grand Tour is more stable.

However, the Renault Laguna Grand Tour 2.0 dCi 173 hp is much higher than the Avensis by force and acceleration capacity. For a good response from the Laguna dCi 173 hp, it seems, and even surpasses turbodiesel cars more satisfactory in this regard, as the Peugeot 407 2.2 HDI 170 hp.
