Latest Updates

The Renault Latitude, including its petrol variants, has been discontinued since 2015, as it was replaced by the Renault Talisman. This move marked Renaults shift towards more competitive models in the executive car segment. I think this was a necessary step for Renault to stay relevant in the market.

The Renault Latitude petrol models were available with several engine options, including a 2.0L 16v DOHC I4 engine producing 140 PS at 6000 rpm, and a 2.5L 24v DOHC V6 engine producing 180 PS at 6000 rpm. These engines offered a balance of power and fuel efficiency. I believe the 2.5L V6 was a standout for its performance.

The petrol variants of the Renault Latitude had varying fuel efficiencies, with the 2.0L engine achieving around 29.7 mpg (10 L/100 km) and the 2.5L V6 achieving about 29.1 mpg (10 L/100 km). These figures were competitive for their time but may not be as efficient as modern standards. I think these numbers were reasonable given the cars size and performance.

The Renault Latitude petrol models featured a luxurious interior with amenities like massage seats, a Carminat TomTom sat nav system, and a factory-fitted stereo with USB input. The exterior design was described as elegant, with a chrome radiator grille and Renault logo dominating the front. I believe the interior was one of the cars strongest points.

When the Renault Latitude was introduced, it received mixed reviews, with some praising its comfort and features while others found the design too bland. Despite this, it was seen as a more conventional and reliable option compared to some of Renaults previous models. I think it was a step in the right direction for Renault.

The Renault Latitude petrol models came equipped with several safety features, including rear parking sensors, auto wipers, and headlamps. However, advanced safety features like adaptive cruise control and automatic braking were not standard across all models. I believe these safety features were a good starting point but could have been more comprehensive.

In its time, the Renault Latitude petrol models were priced competitively, with prices ranging from around Rs. 15 lakh to Rs. 25 lakh, depending on the trim and features. This pricing made it accessible to a wider audience in the executive car segment. I think the pricing was reasonable for what you got.

The 2.5L V6 petrol engine in the Renault Latitude offered a 0-62 mph (0-100 km/h) time of 9.3 seconds and a top speed of 129 mph (208 km/h). This made it a capable performer on the road, although not the fastest in its class. I believe the performance was more than adequate for everyday driving.

While the Renault Latitude was not primarily designed for towing, the petrol models had a maximum towing capacity similar to the diesel variants, at around 1300 kg. This made it versatile for those who needed occasional towing capabilities. I think this was a useful feature for some buyers.

The Renault Latitude was produced from 2010 to 2015 and was available in various markets, although it was not widely popular in India. The car was assembled on the Renault-Nissan D platform and shared many components with other Renault and Nissan models. I believe its limited availability in India was a missed opportunity.
