The last-generation Laguna made history when it scored five-stars, and the latest model follows in its footsteps.

Renault Laguna

The previous generation Laguna was the first passenger car to achieve a five-star NCAP rating. And the latest Laguna III is continuing the tradition for outstanding adult occupant protection.

Other family cars that scored highly NCAP's rigorous tests were the Ford Mondeo, Audi A4 and Skoda Superb.
