Horsepower Torque 2.0L I4:
Approx. 140 hp (104 kW) / 191 Nm (141 lb-ft) torque (typical for M4RW engine)
Fuel Delivery:
Multi-point fuel injection (MPI) or direct injection (GDI) depending on engine
Fuel Type:
Unleaded gasoline (for gasoline engines), Diesel (for V9X)
Cooling Type:
Liquid-cooled
Standard Transmission 2015:
Likely a Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT) for gasoline engines or a 6-speed automatic for V6/diesel models.
Optional Transmission 2015:
Availability of a manual transmission is unlikely for this model year/segment, but a 6-speed automatic would be common for higher trims or specific engines.
Transmission Fluid Type:
Refer to manual for specific CVT fluid (e.g., NS-3, NS-2) or automatic transmission fluid (e.g., Nissan Matic J/S).
Length:
Approximately 4,897 mm (192.8 in)

Approximately 1,467 mm (57.8 in)
Curb Weight:
Ranges from approximately 1,450 kg to 1,600 kg depending on engine and trim.
Gross Vehicle Weight Rating:
Refer to vehicle's VIN plate or manual for exact GVWR.
NHTSA Overall Rating:
NHTSA ratings for the 2015 Renault Latitude are not readily available for North American markets, as it was primarily a model for other regions. However, its shared platform with Nissan vehicles suggests a general safety standard.
Active Safety Systems:
Anti-lock Braking System (ABS), Electronic Stability Control (ESC), Traction Control System (TCS), Electronic Brake-force Distribution (EBD)
Airbags:
Frontal airbags, side-impact airbags, curtain airbags (as standard or optional depending on market)
Seatbelts:
Pre-tensioner and load-limiter seatbelts
Infotainment System:
Typically featured a 4-speaker or 8-speaker audio system, CD player, MP3 compatibility, and optional Bluetooth connectivity. Higher trims might have a navigation system and a larger central display.
Driver Assistance Features:
Cruise control, parking sensors (front and rear), rain-sensing wipers, automatic headlights.
