Press release For the second year running, as official car supplier to the French rugby squad, Renault has brought out a number of exclusive limited edition cars in the colours of the national team. Within the framework of its association with France’s national rugby board (FFR) and with the French national side, Renault has introduced ’XV de France’ limited edition versions of New Mégane Hatchback, New Mégane Coupé, Clio Hatchback and Clio Estate.  These ’XV de France’-badged limited edition versions stand out through their upgraded equipment specification and through the tie-in between their interior trim and the French ’XV DE FRANCE’ VERSIONS OF NEW RENAULT MÉGANE HATCHBACK AND COUPÉThe Mégane ’XV de France’ limited editions are based on the Dynamic versions of New Mégane Hatchback and New Mégane Coupé, and feature additional exterior and interior equipment which deliver even more exclusive looks: 
New Mégane Hatchback ’XV de France’ also comes with extra-tinted rear glass (standard equipment in the case of New Mégane Coupé).  Seven body colours are available:
These limited edition versions represent an average saving to the customer of €1,050. 12 comments: Renault Megane and Clio ’XV de France’ yes, the engine is obsolescent, and the F series being replaced by a newer M series shared with Nissan; however, the cast-iron closed-deck F block is much stronger (it was long used as a 1.9 diesel block) thus more suitable for turbocharging than the alloy open-deck M4R.
 There are some parts of these car that is not astounding but the capabilities of its engine is on top of it all.
 Megane CC going against the A5 convertible? Really Autoblog? A5 is much more expensive than Renault and those two will never be cross-shopped. True Competition to Megane are Eos and 308 CC. There used to be Opel Astra CC in previous generation, too
 The exterior is not too impressive but not that ugly it’s actually not that unique but the engines is good.
 Average I say. Not too good looking and not too eye soaring. I’ve seen similar hatchback like the 2010 Renault Megane and Clio ’XV de France’ have.
 quite good, simple yet sporty looking vehicle. and nothing so special about this car but i really love the looks and body trim design of this baby.
 Design-wise, this car is nothing. It doesn’t look luxurious, fast or anything. But if you go down to the core of the details, you will find out that this is no ordinary car.
