With prototypes of the 2016 Renault Laguna circulating out in the open, illustrator Theophilus Chin took it upon himself to speculate on the production car’s appearance.

The rendering attempts to inject the styling DNA from Renault’s freshest arrivals such as the Espace minivan, Kadjar SUV and Captur small crossover, on a traditional sedan body.

Admittedly, it’s a conservative take – as if you asked VW Passat designers to pen a French mid-size saloon…

It might not be too far away from reality, though, I think that the prototype we spied had a more hunkered down look overall, especially up front with the flat hood and thin headlamps.
