The Renault Fluence is a 2+2 concept coupé designed by Renault chief designer Patrick le Quément, with a length similar to that of the Renault Laguna. It was presented on June 4, 2004 at the Louis Vuitton Car Elegance Classic in England, and at the Mondial de l'Automobile 2004.

The Fluence uses LED headlights that are directed in function with the steering wheel angle, manufactured by Valeo. An ingenious aspect of the Fluence's exterior design is its V-shaped rear that gives access to the trunk by a curious unconventional way; the back slides up to the roof by an articulated piston mounted in the centre of the trunklid. The inside of the trunk is upholsted with "Margaux Red" cloth and has a volume of 396 dm³.

In the interior, every seat is fixed to a single rail and the dashboard is similar to the one of the Renault Talisman. The armrests on the doors are also fixed to a rail, and are enclosed to the adjustment of the seats. The dashboard has a joystick so the driver can access different functions of the vehicle and view them in a retractable LCD screen.

Several brands like Michelin or Recaro were involved with the development of the Fluence. For example, Michelin gave tires with PAX technology (similar to Runflat), Montupet manufacturated the 22 in aerodynamic alloy wheels, and Recaro developed the seats.
