Renault Latitude: 2010–2015 mid-size sedan, engines and trims
Renault Latitude – a mid-size sedan that replaced the Laguna sedan and was produced from 2010 to 2015. In this article, we review the engines, trims, and what to check when buying a used Latitude.
Latitude in brief
Latitude – a long, spacious, and comfort-oriented sedan designed in South Korea and sold in Europe as a Renault model. It's a step up from the Laguna and is aimed at those who value rear-seat space.
The Latitude is rare on the used market, so your choices are limited. This means you can find and compare an affordable car.
Which version to choose
The Latitude was produced in one generation, so the main differences are in the trim, engine, and transmission. When choosing, it's important to consider the service history.
The selection is small, so it's worth comparing a few examples and thoroughly checking the electronics.
Engines and transmissions
Available are the diesel 2.0 dCi and powerful 3.0 V6 dCi, as well as petrol engines. Exact power output varies by version.
Transmissions come as manual or automatic.
What to check when buying a used Latitude
In a diesel car, check the diesel particulate filter (DPF), turbo, and timing belt. Listen for any uneven running of the engine.
Automatic transmission shifts should be smooth. Check all electronic functions: windows, air conditioning, multimedia.
Inspect the body, suspension, and brakes. Compare the mileage with the service history.
