| » New Laguna has ‘impressive’ residual values |
RENAULT is claiming ‘impressive’ three-year/60,000 mile residual values for the all-new Laguna, which has now entered showrooms. Featuring a standard three-year/100,000 mile warranty, a Renault spokesman said: ‘New Laguna already has one of the most compelling sets of total cost of ownership figures in its class, so such an impressive residual value forecast will be even sweeter news, for both private and fleet buyers alike.’ The likely new Laguna best-seller, the hatchback Dynamique 2.0 dCi 150 is expected to retain 32.1% over the benchmark period. This represents a 1% gain over the new Ford Mondeo 2.0 TDCi 140 Zetec at 31.1% and a 4% advantage over the Peugeot 407 2.0 HDi SE 136 at 28.1%, according to CAP Monitor data released by Renault. For lower mileage drivers, the figures at 36 months/36,000 miles, reveal that the same new Laguna retains 37.2% of its value, against 36% for the equivalent Mondeo, 1.2% above its key Ford rival. The spokesman added: ‘The upper-medium contender now looks set to take the challenge to its rivals with an impressive residual value forecast, up by 7.2% on its predecessor.’ Insurance groups for both the hatch and Sport Tourer models now range from 7E for all 1.5 dCi 110 models up to 11E for the Initiale 2.0 16v 170 Turbo auto. In spite of the overall gains in ‘quality and specification’, according to Renault, the hatch models are an average of £300 less than their predecessors. For example, the Dynamique 2.0 dCi 150, costs £18,400, £470 less than the current model. Meanwhile, ordering for top-of-the-range hatch Initiale and all Sport Tourer models has opened. Prices for the hatchback Laguna range start at £15,990 on-the-road for the 2.0 16v 140 Expression and extend to £23,400 for the 2.0dCi 150 auto Initiale. The Initiale range starts at £20,540 for the 2.0 16v 140. The new Laguna Sports Tourer features an innovative ‘super-fold’ rear seat system. The system enables the rear seats to fold down by pulling a small lever concealed in the rear hatch or by the rear seats, thereby giving a cavernous and completely flat load area of 1,593 litres right up to the rear of the front seats. The load-lugger is priced from £16,940 for the Expression 2.0 16v 140 to £24,350 for the 2.0 dCi 150 auto Initiale. . Sport Tourer is expected to take a large proportion of new Laguna sales, and as such, to entice more customers into the showroom, the former price difference between hatch and Sport Tourer models has been cut by £150 to £950.
