Renault has revealed prices for its all-new Laguna Coupé range. The entry-level 2.0 dCi 150 starts at Ò£20,995, and comes with 18-inch alloys, eight airbags and dual-zone climate control as standard. The cheapest petrol variant is the 2.0-litre Turbo 205, which weighs in at Ò£22,345 ò€“ thatò€™s Ò£6,805 less than the equivalent BMW 325i SE Coupé.

However, we grabbed our picture of the heavily revised model as it was being put through its paces outside the Nürburgring race circuit in Germany. Although blankets hide the cosmetic changes, which include a new centre-mounted spare wheel on the back door, you can still see the deep-set front foglamps and more conventional rear wheelarches, which remain largely unconcealed.
With the existing engine line-up being carried over, most of the attention has been paid to the cabin. Higher-grade materials, along with a more stylish design, are expected to be the most significant improvements.
The Shogun first hit UK showrooms in 1981, and since then it has become part of the 4x4 establishment, thanks to its impressive off-road ability. The facelifted model is likely to be equally good in the rough stuff, and will arrive early next year after making its world debut at the Paris Motor Show in October.
