The new Renault Laguna Carminat: Renault's open invitation to travel
PARIS, France - Portable systems are the uncontested leaders of the extremely buoyant GPSnavigation market and one of the reasons for their success is their price, despite certain shortcomings regarding their integration and practicality compared with original equipment systems. With this in mind, Renault has introduced a competitive new offer with a new Laguna Carminat which combines the performance of an integrated navigation system with a particularly attractive price tag. Compared with the Expression version on which it is based, Renault Laguna Carminat comes with the following equipment for just €700 extra:
Renault Laguna Carminat will go on sale in France in saloon and estate form with prices starting from €24,000 and is intended to become a permanent part of the current Laguna line-up. Powered by the fuel efficient dCi 110hp engine (130g of CO2/km and combined cycle fuel consumption of 4.9 litres/100km for the saloon version), Renault Laguna Carminat is ideally qualified to meet the needs of professional users and those who drive company cars.
Efficient, time-saving navigation
For anyone whose profession involves motoring, just as they are for private owners, time and efficiency are particularly valuable commodities. Renault has accordingly introduced Laguna Carminat which helps its customers save time thanks to an advanced navigation system which enables them to optimize their itinerary. The Carminat CD Bluetooth® navigation system features:
Rhythm & Bluetooth®
Such an advanced navigation system needs to be associated with a quality audio system incorporating telephone functions. The specification of the audio system that comes with Renault Laguna Carminat has been enhanced by incorporating the following features:
Safety-enhancing user-friendly functions
Driving pleasure is also about feeling safe, so Renault has taken special care to provide intuitive, fast controls to ensure that the driver's mind stays focused on the road ahead. The user-friendly design of the integrated functions minimizes the time required to absorb information shown on the navigation system's display.
A fuel efficient engine better tailored for the needs of company cars
Multimedia equipment and low CO2 emissions are two major trends in the company car market. Renault Laguna has sought to reinforce its excellence and reinforce its position as the best-selling car in its class in France since October 2007 by associating Laguna Carminat with the dCi 110hp engine. This version delivers record low emissions (130g of CO2/km) for a saloon of its size. And, with combined cycle fuel consumption of 4.9 litres/100km, it combines performance (110hp/240Nm) with particularly low running costs.
