The one that appeals to enthusiasts is the Renault Megane RS with either 276bhp or 296bhp, again depending on the age and spec. There’s also a version with slightly more performance in the form of the 202bhp GT but it’s very rare. Petrol options were a 1.2-litre with 128bhp, or a 1.3-litre with 138bhp, depending on the age of the car.
The outgoing Renault Megane’s engine range was rather uninspiring for most of its time on sale. Instead of the Golf and Peugeot 308, the Megane E-Tech Electric squares up against the Volkswagen ID.3 and Peugeot e-2008.īut has the Megane improved by changing both its power source and its body style? We’ve compared the two to find out.
The new Renault Megane has become a crossover, and the petrol and diesel engines have been swapped for a fully electric powertrain. Unfortunately for Renault, most buyers stuck with the old favourites and this time around, Renault is changing the formula more drastically than ever before. The mk2 Megane stood out thanks to an unusual design at the rear and sharp lines.Īdmittedly, the third generation car didn’t stand out too much but the fourth-generation Renault Megane hatchback, which is just about to be replaced, brought back the style and provided an arresting alternative to the usual family hatches. The first model was sleek and coupe-like (and came with coupe and convertible options), and it also allowed Renault to jump on the MPV bandwagon of the past by facilitating the creation of the original Renault Scenic. Renault has always tried to ensure that the Megane offers something different to the Volkswagen Golf, Ford Focus, Vauxhall Astra and Honda Civic.
