The design of the sedan is interesting. His front part immediately attracts his eyes. A powerful radiator grille, covered with chrome, can not fail to impress. It looks very impressive, besides, exactly in the middle there is a corporate diamond - emblem. The hood, by the way, is a bit concave, which is another design decision.

Exterior details

The large headlights are horizontally stretched so that their corners slightly go to the side of the car. Solid looks and the glass roof. It is covered with toning so that it looks almost black outside. The front bumper protrudes slightly forward, and the designers have decided to drown the fog lights in deep niches of a rectangular shape. Thanks to this cunning technique, it was possible to visually make the car more powerful and broad.

The contours of Latitude Renault are very laconic and harmonious. The fact is that the designers decided to apply again the classical middle line in the vehicle image, which rises a little from the front to the rear. This method has been tested for years, and due to it it always turned out to create an interesting look of the machine. Finally, the image is supplemented by a solid, but not heavy, food.

Interior

And the top version has armchairs, equipped with a massage function and memory settings. These are really unique seats.

So, for example, in the rear seats three passengers will feel themselves perfectly. Comfortable and spacious - there is enough space in both your legs and above your head. And if the third leaves and only two passengers remain, then additional opportunities will open up for them. For example, a descending table from the back, where there are even two cup holders.

For an additional payment potential buyers are offered a three-zone climate control. This functional option makes it possible to set individual settings separately for passengers (and for each) and for the driver. And the car boasts an integrated air quality management system.

European motorists have the opportunity to purchase cars with a turbodiesel. There are three options - for 150, 175 and even 240 horsepower!

This machine boasts modern security systems. And both passive and active. The basic equipment is equipped with six airbags, strong three-point belts, emergency braking system, as well as ABS. Specialists decided in this way to design a steering column, so that the driver did not feel any danger when overly braking. This was achieved thanks to a somewhat gentle angle of inclination of the steering wheel.

Equipment

Renault Latitude reviews owners receive mostly positive. This, by the way, inspires many people to buy such a model.

The machine definitely will appeal to lovers of loud music and "fleshy" bass. There is also a system called Plug & Music. It allows you to connect a huge number of different external players. Even the iPod is supported here.

Another potential buyer is offered a special system. And this is the Bose Sound System. It differs by powerful speakers in the amount of ten pieces and an equalizer with a multichannel amplifier! Well, the list of other options is quite wide. If a person has the desire and financial possibilities, then you can buy cast discs or LED lights, for example. Parktronic, bi-xenon, rain sensors, lights and much more are also available at an additional cost.

Cost

The new "Renault" will cost about 900 thousand rubles. The price is rather big, but you need to remember that this is a business class car with a very wide list of equipment, excellent equipment, powerful technical characteristics and comfortable interior. But this is the minimum price. For example, version 2.5 AT6 Privilege with 177-horsepower engine and six-speed automatic transmission will cost 1,532,000 rubles. The cheaper version in the Dynamique Confort bundle is 60,000 cheaper.

In general, everything depends on the configuration. If the car has everything: power windows, 16-inch steel wheels, fog lights, adaptive airbags, various assistance systems, heated seats, chip cards, CD, MP3, air conditioning, etc., then the model will have to pay a substantial sum. If the equipment is modest, then less. You can take it from your hands for a few hundred thousand rubles.
