Renault added today a new version in its Megane line-up. It will join the current Hatchback, Coupé, Grand Scénic and Scénic and will go on sale at the end of this month.
The new Megane Estate is being offered with a choice of eight diesel engines and six petrol ones. Diesel line-up includes: 1.5 dCi with: 85, 90, 105 and 110 hp; dCi 130 engine that develops 130 hp, 2.0 dCi with 150 and 160 hp.

The new model features sporty, elegant lines, a longer wheelbase that ensure plenty of carrying capacity, low-profile windows, chrome longitudinal roofbars.
It also benefits from lots of the latest technologies: two fully-integrated, joystick-operated, centre console-mounted navigation systems: Carminat TomTom and Carminat Bluetooth DVD, a digital speedometer, Hands-free entry, 3D Sound by Arkamys.
Our friends over at Drivers Republic have just made a comparison test between two of the most powerful hatchbacks on the European market, Ford’s rally inspired Focus RS and Renault’s wild Megane R26.R. Which hot hatch reigns supreme? You’ll just have to watch the video to find out.
Don’t get too bent out of shape about Renault not selling cars to the U.S. when you see this video. Although the guys from Drivers Republic got wheel time in the 360 hp Megane Trophy, its not road legal in Europe either. On the other hand, 250 hp Megane RS is a reason to be jealous.
Although everyone knew how it will look like and what is capable of, the Megane RS made its official debut today at the Geneva Motor Show. With an addition 25 hp and a choice of sport suspensions, the new Megane RS will go on sale later this year.
The new Megane Renault Sport is powered by a new-generation 2-litre 16-valve turbocharged petrol engine which boasts maximum power of 250hp at 5,500rpm and peak torque of 340Nm from 3,000rpm. It is available with a choice of two chassis: the ’Sport’ chassis or the ’Cup’ chassis, which comes with a limited slip differential for even greater traction.
It also features: front bumper that incorporates the LED daytime running lights, 18-inch aluminium alloy rims, central exhaust tailpipe and rear diffuser. On the interior the RS features sports seats, analogue rev-counter with visual and audible gearshift indicator, aluminum pedal cover and RS logo on the headrests, rev-counter background and dashboard.
Renault will bring the hottest Megane ever at the Geneva Motor Show. First revealed as the Megane Trophy at the Paris Auto Show, the Renaultsport Megane (Megane RS) is now being teased by an official web page that announce the world debut in 13 days. When we lay eyes on the production car next month, we expect the Megane RS will look like a mixture of the Megane coupe and Megane Trophy, likely taking most of the Trophy’s front-end styling.
Although the concept car in Paris featured a 3.5-liter V6 making 360 hp, the production RS will be much tamer. Under the hood Renault will likely place the 2.0-liter turbocharged engine from the current Megane R26. The engine should get a 20 hp bump from its current application to raise the total to 250 hp. That should be good for a 0 to 60 mph time of less than six seconds.
The new generation Megane made in world debut in 2008 at the Paris Auto Show. Sales started from November 2008. The new Megane is being offered with a choice of two petrol engines and six Diesel engines. There are five different versions on the market: Authentique, Expression, Carminat, Dynamique and Privilège. New Mégane Hatch prices will range from €18,400 to €25,600.
New Renault Mégane exudes a sense of robustness and perceived quality. This impression is heightened by the generous surface area and curvaceous forms of the body panels. Seen from the side, the feature line extends the crease of the slightly prominent front wings rearward to emphasize the car’s broad, solid shoulders. The wide track dimensions (1.55m) ensure that the car sits squarely on the road, and this sense of stability is underlined by the steeply-raked rear screen and, indeed, by the entire rearend design. New Renault Mégane’s proportions, the form of the beltline and the large door panels exude a feeling of protection.
Renault New Mégane’s interior is extensively equipped with practical, comfort-enhancing features. These include combined analogue/digital instruments incorporating a new, easier to read colour-coded cruise control/speed limiter interface. The list continues with a host of equipment normally associated with the next segment up, such as hands-free entry and ignition, automatic locking as the driver walks away from the car, a Carminat Bluetooth® DVD navigation system and a custom-developed audio system (3D Sound by Arkamys®).
Missing French cars yet? This may change your mind.
Renault first unveiled the Megane Trophy at the Paris Auto Show, and now there will a production model that will show up at the Geneva Motor Show. The Renaultsport Megane (Megane RS) will look like a mixture of the Megane coupe and Megane Trophy, likely taking most of the Trophy’s front-end styling.
Although the concept car featured a 3.5-liter V6 making 360 hp, the production RS will be much tamer.

That should be good for a 0 to 60 mph time of less than six seconds.
The new Renault Megane Coupe that was revealed at the Paris Auto Show at the beginning of this month is now featured in the Need For Speed: Undercover starting November 21st.
Mégane Coupé’s sporty, racy looks convinced the developers of Need For Speed to incorporate the new model in the prestigious line-up of exceptional cars featured in the game. The game’s development team sought to reproduce New Mégane’s outstanding performance and handling characteristics as accurately as possible based on information supplied by Renault. The resulting graphics, sense of power and roadholding ability are simply stunning, while the new ’Heroic Driving’ graphic engine ensures a breathtaking driving experience at the wheel of Mégane Coupé which players will be sure to appreciate!
After Renault revealed the three-doors Megane at the Paris Auto Show, they are now busy developing a flagship Renaultsport version to replace the outgoing R26 and to compete with the Golf GTI and Focus ST.
Under the hood Renault will place the current R26’s 2.0-liter turbocharged engine, producing at least 230bhp. It will also be lighter than the current R26 meaning better performances: a 150mph top speed and a 0-60mph time of less than six seconds, plus better economy and emissions.
