Renault Clio TCe 90 (2012) CAR review

Steve Moody, 12 October 2012 09:30

Forgive my indulgence, but my first ever car was a first generation Clio RSi, and days hurtling round Wiltshire B roads were great ones: sawing at that canted steering wheel, squealing little tyres, with a broken speedo and only the rev counter and my own idiocy for guidance. It’s seems an age ago, not just for me, but for Renault ...

Renault Scenic 1.5 dCi (2009) CAR review

2.5

Stephen Worthy, 02 July 2009 10:58

Think ‘Renault Scenic’ today and what does it conjure up? Mum stuck in traffic on the school run. Jammy-fingered kids staring wistfully out of the window. Dad pootling down to the seaside with the whole clan seething inside it. There are so many cars like the Scenic on the road today, it’s easy to forget how radical it was when ...

Renault Megane Sport Tourer 2.0 dCi 160 (2009) CAR review

Stephen Worthy, 17 June 2009 15:00

For those drivers with 2.4 children and who refuse to be brow-beaten into buying an MPV, there remains the estate car. And while some people will see estates as about as cool as stonewashed jeans, companies like Renault and Vauxhall are pushing their new estates as ‘sport tourers’. But is the fifth model in the ever-expanding Renault Megane range good enough to ...

Renault Laguna Coupe 3.0 V6 dCi (2008) CAR review, video

3.5

Guy Bird, 22 October 2008 10:48

The Renault Laguna Coupe is the best-looking car the recently ‘design-troubled’ French brand has produced for years. That might not be such an achievement given Renault’s current line-up, but nonetheless, the new four-seater coupe is a very positive addition to a market that demands beauty above all else. By comparison the Peugeot 407 Coupe seems plain ugly and even the ...

Renault Megane 1.5dCi (2008) CAR review

Phil McNamara, 17 October 2008 14:53

Renault split opinion with the outgoing Megane 2. You know, that shakey-ass marketing. The distinctive, bustleback styling. A classic Marmite car, in fact. The sad thing is, the marketing suits have deemed such avantgarde design as verboten in the new, let's-appeal-to-everyone age. Hence the new, less risky Megane 3. Now we've driven it, we can finally announce if it's boring ...

Renault Koleos Privilège dCi 175 (2008) CAR review

2.5

Christopher Hubbard, 02 May 2008 10:36

When the Renault Koleos was unveiled at the Geneva motor show the original press information claimed that this was an SUV that 'handles like a hatchback'. But those words have disappeared from the launch pack, where Renault instead cautiously claims it handles 'more like a saloon' than a traditional 4x4. Either way Renault has branded the Koleos a crossover, not one of 'em ...

Renault Laguna GT dCi 180 Sport Tourer (2008) CAR review

3.5

Ben Whitworth, 10 April 2008 16:43

When it arrived late last year we gave Renault’s Laguna a bit of a pasting for its dull looks and overall lack of appeal. There wasn't much wrong with its driving dynamics, and Renault’s claim for best-in-class refinement and quality didn't seem too wide of the mark, but it was sorely lacking in sparkle. The Sport Tourer estate went some ...

Renault Laguna Sport Tourer 2.0 dCi 175 Dynamique S (2008) CAR review

James Foxall, 15 January 2008 16:37

Renault’s new Laguna hasn’t impressed us yet. Purposively conservative looks, a slightly cramped interior, and a drive that can’t touch that of the Mondeo all count against it. But maybe the Sport Tourer (nee estate) can do better. It’s clearly a ‘lifestyle’ car with a steeply raked almost hatchback like rear window. But to these eyes it’s definitely smarter to ...

Renault Clio Sport Tourer 1.5 dCi (2007) CAR review

2.5

Peter Burgess, 14 December 2007 10:00

The common sense answer to needing a supermini with more room is to buy a Megane-sized hatchback. And the Megane is an apt example here. Not only is it from Renault, it’s sufficiently dimensionally challenged to be closer in concept to the Clio than you might think. Though if you go the whole hog and pick a Megane Sport Tourer, ...

Renault Laguna Coupe concept (2007) CAR review

CJ Hubbard, 19 October 2007 10:15

Ooo, shiny. What is this fine-looking thing? This is – are you ready? – a Renault. Yes, honestly. The company that currently specialises in boring family carry-alls and hardcore hot hatches has actually turned out something sexy. It's the Laguna Coupe Concept, a debutante show car at last month's Frankfurt Motor Show. And we've just driven it. Alongside its swoopy, ...
