28 May 2020

Renault MÉGANE has been an emblematic model for 25 years, with four generations of vehicles sold and 7 million units sold worldwide. New MEGANE is a design that has been reviewed in detail, a complete range of engines, including the revolutionary E-TECH Plug-In Hybrid technology, and even more technologies to enhance safety and driving pleasure. And always two bodies: sedan or Estate.

An increasingly refined style

New MEGANE is gaining in maturity thanks to an even more refined design. The front adopts a new bumper, a redesigned grille incorporating a fog lamp surround with chrome rims and air deflectors, complemented at the rear by a redesigned bumper. The fenders are more pronounced with the new side trim, and as soon as night falls, you'll notice the exterior handles of the illuminated doors. 16- to 18-inch wheels and a shark antenna give it a stature that's ever more rewarding.

All lights now use LED technology. At the front, 100% LED C-Shape headlights and PURE VISION full-LED headlights are standard from the first level of finish. They increase the lighting range by 30% and offer the possibility of bend lighting. At the rear, the 100% full LED headlamps integrate new 3D effect light guides. The set of indicators offers high-tech (and highly visible) flashing with dynamic scrolling.

Full of technology

Inside, you'll find the friendly, cockpit-like atmosphere of Mégane with MULTI-SENSE, electrically adjustable front seats, a steering wheel that is now soft to the touch from the very first trim levels and new upholstery. The most impressive feature will be in front of the eyes with the appearance of the new 10.2' full digital screen on the dashboard and EASY LINK offered on a 7' or 9.3' screen for a large digital tablet. This customizable system is compatible with Android Auto and Apple Carplay.

Equipped with the best driver assistance technologies (such as safety distance warning, lane departure warning and traffic sign recognition), New MEGANE now incorporates all the technological building blocks that make up the entry into the world of the autonomous car: lane departure warning, lane keeping assistant, motorway and traffic assistant with integrated Stop & Go function. All the driving aids are now grouped together on the steering wheel. These cutting-edge technologies are complemented by fatigue detection and active emergency braking with pedestrian and cyclist detection.

R.S. Line version and limited-edition Edition One

Nouvelle MÉGANE offers a complete range of engines and finishing levels. In addition to the Life, Zen and Intens versions, an R.S. LINE version is also available. This version features specific double diamond badging on the front wings and rear trunk, a double chromed exhaust pipe, 17-inch diamond alloy wheels, aluminium pedals, specific fog lamps, and heated and wrap-around Alcantara RS LINE upholstery with red stitching, stitching on the leather steering wheel.

This sporty upscale offer is accompanied by an elegantly oriented top-of-the-range offer with the limited Edition One series. Available exclusively on MÉGANE Sedan, it adds to the Intens version specific badging, titanium grey exterior mirror housings and specific 17-inch diamond wheels. The interior features brushed aluminum styling elements, a massaging and heated electric driver's seat, leather upholstery and a heated steering wheel. This version comes standard with Blind Spot Detector, Rear Collision Detector and Easy Park Assist.

For the happiness of sport drivers…

… The renewal of MÉGANE also concerns its R.S. and R.S. TROPHY sports versions, awaited by our most sporty customers for their skills, which are a reference in the category. These two versions adopt the 1.8-litre direct injection turbo engine resulting from the synergies of the Alliance is also present on the Alpine A110.

The MÉGANE R.S. now offers 300 hp, the power previously available on the former MÉGANE R.S. TROPHY, and 420 Nm (+30 Nm) in EDC gearbox and 400 Nm in manual gearbox. The 4CONTROL Sport chassis offers maximum agility in tight corners and stability in fast bends. A new R.S. Monitor displays numerous vehicle parameters in real time.

New MÉGANE R.S. TROPHY is designed for the track. It is distinguished in particular by its Cup chassis, which has become exclusive to it, and features a mechanical Torsen® limited-slip differential with the benefit of cornering registration and traction at the exit of a corner. It features shock absorbers and suspension springs whose stiffness has been increased by 25% and 30% respectively, and an anti-roll bar with a 10% higher setting compared with MÉGANE R.S.

In other words, driving pleasure is largely part of the standard package.

A complete range of engines

The full range of engines will satisfy all uses and desires. New MEGANE offers three petrol engines, the TCe 115, the TCe 140 with manual or automatic gearbox and the TCe 160 with EDC dual clutch gearbox. A diesel engine, the dCi 115, is also available with a manual or EDC gearbox.

Finally, as a pioneer and expert in electric vehicles for more than 10 years, Renault is now offering the all-new E-TECH Plug-in Hybrid 160 engine on MEGANE, which will be available from launch on MEGANE Estate... With its 9.8 kWh (400V) battery capacity, New MEGANE E-TECH Plug-in Hybrid has a range of up to 135 kilometers per hour on 100% electric power for 50 kilometers over a combined cycle (WLTP) and up to 65 kilometers over an urban cycle (WLTP City). Starting is always electric. This means that it can operate without emissions or fuel consumption on everyday journeys and take you on long journeys at the weekend or on holiday without constraints. Thanks to this technology, MÉGANE E-TECH Plug-In Hybrid achieves record fuel consumption from 1.3 l/100 km and a controlled CO2 emission level from 28 g/km in the combined cycle (WLTP).

Prices

New MEGANE prices start at €22,200 or €169 per month(1) for thermal versions and from €38,500 or €299 per month(2) for E-TECH Plug-in Hybrid 160 versions (available on MEGANE Estate on the highest Intens and R.S. Line levels).

New MÉGANE Estate Plug-in Hybrid benefits from lower running costs than a petrol version thanks to fuel savings, free or half-price car registration depending on the region, and the brand new €2,000 government bonus on plug-in hybrid engines that MÉGANE Estate Plug-in Hybrid benefits from.
