Renault's recently renewed Megane hatch and wagon range features the
striking new brand identity. It delivers a revitalised and contemporary character to Renault’s best-selling model in
Australia.
First debuted on the Clio, Renault’s new brand identity has been rolling out across the Renault range to ensure a
unified and striking corporate design language. The road presence of the Megane range is enhanced by the prominent and
upright Renault diamond on a black background – a hallmark of Laurens van den Acker’s new design language.
The renewal of the Megane range heralds the introduction of new technology to the range – most notably the new TCe 130
turbocharged petrol engine coupled with 6-speed Efficient Dual Clutch (EDC) automatic transmission. This engine debuted
in the Megane range in late 2013 with a 6-speed manual transmission only and producing 97 kW and 205 Nm it was well
received by customers looking for sprightly performance and efficiency. With a combined cycle fuel consumption rating of
just 5.6 litres per 100km and CO2 emissions of 129g when coupled with the EDC transmission this engine reduces fuel
consumption 28% over the outgoing petrol engine. Undoubtedly the new TCe 130 petrol engine is set to become the
best-seller of the new Megane range.
A diesel engine has been added to the Megane line-up in the GT-Line specification of both the Megane hatch and wagon.
Megane diesel story continues with the two entry-level specifications – Megane Hatch Authentique with a MLP* of $25,990*
and Megane Wagon Dynamique with a MLP* of $29,490*. The dCi 110 engine fitted in the Megane diesel variants has a fuel
consumption rating of just 4.5-litres per 100km on the combined cycle – making it one of the most fuel-efficient diesel
vehicles in its class. This engine produces 240 Nm at just 1,750 rpm ensuring a sprightly and enjoyable driving
experience at all times.
The technology story continues with the new Megane range with the introduction of Renault’s innovative R-Link
entertainment system. Available on various specifications across the range, R-Link includes a large seven-inch (18 cm)
touchscreen display, intuitive voice commands and a home page that can be personalised by the user for safe, simple
access to key functions, without the driver having to take his or her eyes off the road. In addition the menu includes
six icons, which provide access to the six main functions: Navigation, Multimedia, Phone, Vehicle, Services and
Applications, and System.
In July 2013, Renault Australia introduced the limited edition Megane GT220 Sport Wagon to bridge the gap between
Renault’s central Megane range and the iconic Renault Sport vehicles. Intense global demand for this vehicle and for a
hatch variant has resulted in an exciting new addition to the Renault Megane range – the new Megane GT220 Hatch and the
permanent inclusion of the Megane GT220 Sport Wagon to the Megane wagon line-up. As with the Megane GT220 Sport Wagon,
the Megane GT220 Hatch features the 2.0-litre turbocharged petrol engine from the Megane R.S. range. This has an output
of 162 kW and 340 Nm and thanks to the addition of Stop&Start technology, has a combined cycle fuel consumption
rating of 7.3-litres per 100km. The Megane GT220 Hatch and Wagon both feature a 0-100km time of 7.6 seconds.
Justin Hocevar, Managing Director of Renault Australia, said: “One of the highlights of the renewed Megane range is
the introduction of the new TCe 130 petrol engine from Renault’s Energy Engine range. This new engine delivers in all
respects – from sprightly performance to impressive fuel economy and it a genuinely enjoyable drive experience. I am
confident that this engine will become a welcome addition to the Megane range and anticipate the TCe 130 representing two
thirds of all Megane sales.”
“Another exciting addition to the Megane range is the permanent introduction of the GT220 specification in both the
Sport Wagon and Hatch variant. We had a very positive customer reaction to the limited edition Megane GT220 Sport Wagon
when we launched in 2013. There were several customers who had previously considered a Megane RS265 but needed the
practicality of a 5-door vehicle and a more family-oriented suspension set-up. Along with several other markets we fed
this strong customer acceptance back to the team at Renault Sport Technologies and we are thrilled that they were able to
respond to this demand and introduce both a hatch variant of the GT220 and ensure that this specification is a permanent
inclusion in the Renault Megane range. The GT220 provides an important bridge between the central Megane range and the
hard-core, hero Megane RS range, ensuring we have a vehicle to meet all customer needs.”
“Megane represented approximately 27% of total Renault sales in 2013 and I am confident that the popularity of the
Megane nameplate will continue to grow and be spearheaded by the renewed range.”
All variants of the Megane Hatch and Wagon have a 5 year/unlimited kilometre warranty and 5 years’ roadside assist.
All vehicles in the Megane range have 1 year servicing intervals and are covered by Renault’s Capped Price servicing
programme. The first three services are capped at just $299 per service.
