Latitude Overview:
Renault Latitude (Latitude). With 195 Nm of torque, it offers ample pulling power. It has moderate fuel consumption (~11 l/100km). With a weight of 1495 kg, it falls in the mid‑range. Front‑wheel drive delivers efficiency and easy handling. Acceleration is relatively slow (0–100 km/h in 11.9 s). The top speed reaches 186 km/h. A four-door car with a separate trunk, ideal for families and daily commuting. Seating for 5 makes it ideal for daily use.
The Renault Latitude itself was not directly tested by Euro NCAP. However, it shares its platform with the Renault Laguna III, which achieved a 5-star rating in 2007, suggesting a good underlying safety structure.
2.0 (140 Hp) CVT Verdict:
Performance Verdict
The CVT transmission significantly dulls the 140 Hp engine's performance, leading to slower acceleration and a less engaging driving experience, often characterized by engine droning.
Fuel Economy
Fuel consumption is slightly higher than the manual 2.0L, and the CVT's efficiency benefits are not fully realized in real-world driving for this application.
