It’s now confirmed that the sedan that we all saw running around Segambut and speculated to be the new Renault Laguna, is in fact the new Renault Laguna! Renault has put up a teaser site with photos and a video of the new Laguna under disguise and being tested. The video on the site was recorded in Malaysia. The countdown timer on the site says the new Renault Laguna will be launched in 40 days.
Check out Renault’s Laguna teaser site here, or head on after the jump for teaser photos as well as the video from the site, which I have hosted to make streaming faster. The video tells a (fictional) tale of a spy photographer who came all the way here to shoot the new Laguna.
Thanks to Chips Yap for the pointer.

wow… the new laguna ain't launch internationally yet, and it did a road test here… i'm quite impress.. even got fisichella staring in the teaser..
ala mini teaser….
looks like msia is a good place for test run
btw… cool Giancarlo Fisichella cameo appearance….
Somehow the video frame gets stuck around 50 something seconds. Cool teaser. But will this be launched in Malaysia as well?
Wow.. the first spy car recorded in Malaysia lol! And the person want to steal the car also LOL! Well nice done to Tan Chong Renault.. saw an nissan urvan beside the road also.. Well if Malaysia weather ok, sure Europe will be ok.. Anyway the renault laguna is better good..
Not bad…
wait… so this Laguna is an all-new Laguna that's not even launched internationally?? I thought this model has been running in europe and is only just launching for the M'sia/Asean market?
(though its worth noting that the current Laguna being sold in Europe was launched in 2000, or 2001)
if indeed its all-new, then im impressed that Renault actually did the testing, and even shot the video in malaysia (unless they wasnt testing and was just merely shooting. hmm). Then again, i think car itself might not even be available for sale in Malaysia..
anyhow did a Google on Laguna's interior shot, found the following: http://www.channel4.com/4car/gl/gallery/gallery/3…
Its different from the pic in the teaser site, not to mention the overall new car's form looks different from the current Laguna's, which looks rather dated.
Also visited Renault UK's site, they have the same teaser there, but the countdown shows 160days… so I guess it is indeed the new Laguna… cool!
don't think TC is going to bring this car to M'sia…the teaser site don;t have malaysia in the country select option…probably just testing the car here..
Got Giancarlo Fischicella (argh, goddam hard to spell…) in it, must be aroun the time when Msian GP.
Funny, they pick our country to do the teaser, yet, we're nt among the 1st to enjoy it. Thnx everyone for the "vary alive democracy" n "trust in Barang Naik gahmen".
I've just viewed the teaser site and watch the movie. I like the part where the spy guy introduces Aiman and of course, the appearance of the Laguna.
no matter wat,renault will always end up in the botom of almost every othr survey done regarding relaibility….thrs sting nasty abt french cars generally….u can check many surveys online specially conducted in europe..its biggest market…always bad relaibilty….
THIS is something which DESERVES anticipation…
hmmmmm………good!
looks like keyless go
a test in M'sia would help Renualt to save some coins and most importantly from spy…. or spies! but still they been caught too…… :)
anyway hope to see more car makers do test around M'sia as we our weather here change quite drasticly
french car though known for flappy quality last time,.. inside, french car standard seat is very comfy and feel at home, carefully architectured, and the material quite lasts,
i think french good at 'seats'
anyway i still like the firmness of the recaro,
a wood facia with a door handle gives an illusion of a tool to cut grass, or a deadly weapon,
anyway, interesting how french car interior look like – its 'dfferent' especially the citroen, -in its unique avantgard style,
