This also included a different facelifted design of the taillights, most noticeable are the circular fog lights in the front. The engines were updated and, in some markets, equipment levels were enhanced again. Five new engines featured in the completed facelifted lineup:. K4M 1.6 16v (109 hp). F4P 1.8 16v (120 hp).

The on board computer would notify the driver of any doors not being closed, lights left on etc., weather ('Please brake carefully the road is watery') or other faults in the electrical or mechanical circuits. The onboard voice synthesizer warnings system was also available on the earlier 1998 RXE and V6 models. This is the same basic unit as used in the Renault Safrane. The Mark 1 model has many bad reviews and reliability issues with everything from rear wheel bearing problems (a common Renault problem over several models) and heavy depreciation to problems with the bonnet latches (Renault use an unusual system that is difficult to set up properly). The reviews tended to be worse for the hatchback, with it suffering many more complaints and breakdowns than the estate variant, although no reasoning for this has been found. The Laguna Concorde model was the last guise of the 'old' Laguna's to be marketed, prior to the release of the Laguna II in 2000.
