Built on Renault’s Common Module Family (CMF) C/D architecture, the new model joins the hatchback and Sport Tourer and brings a focus on dynamic styling, rear seat space and advanced technology.

Produced at the Bursa plant in Turkey and sold in more than 20 countries around the world, the Mégane brigns the familiar Renault front end with a C-shaped front lighting signature and panoramic roof.

The carmaker promises top-level rear-seat space for the saloon as well as 508 litres of boot space, compared to the 434 litres for the hatch, plus a hands-free ‘Easy Boot Access’ system.

Equipment is shared with the rest of the Mégane family and includes a 7-inch colour TFT instrument panel, an 8.7-inch multimedia tablet, R-Link 2, Multi-Sense and Easy Park Assist.

Engine choice depends on the market but the full range covers three diesels: the dCi 90 with a 6-speed manual gearbox, the dCi 110, available with a 6-speed manual gearbox or the EDC 6-speed dual-clutch automatic gearbox, and the dCi 130, available with a 6-speed manual gearbox.

Two petrol engines will also be offered, depending on the market: the SCe 115, available with a 5-speed manual gearbox or a continuously variable transmission (CVT) and the TCe 130, available with a 7-speed dual-clutch EDC automatic gearbox or a 6-speed manual gearbox.
