The Renault Megane was never a major player in the compact segment. Blame it on lack of awareness, brand preconceptions or just lack of desirability, but it just never caught on in the GCC (except with one of our people, who actually owns one). There’s an all-new model in town now. Will it make waves?
Renault rolled out more information on their next-gen hot hatch, the all-new Megane RS, which is currently on the verge of being revealed to the public. It will have four-wheel steering and a choice between two different chassis setups.
Renault has unveiled the Megane Sedan, a replacement for the lukewarm Fluence.
It has been quite a long time since we posted an update about our Renault Megane. Nine months, three dealer services, and 37,000 km later, the odometer in our Megane now ticked over at 67,246 km, thanks to my other business that requires a lot of driving. Contrary to popular belief, the Megane seems to be easy on running costs even with dealer maintenance, so its Nissan underpinnings are a blessing.
Renault has given us exterior images of the 2016 Megane before its full debut next week at the 2015 Frankfurt Motor Show.
So it has been a year and 30,000 km since we bought our Renault Megane. Buying this car was an experiment, as it is the least noticed and least trusted car by the general public. Contrary to popular belief though, the car has chugged along rather well, probably due to the fact that it is almost purely a Nissan underneath, from almost every nut and bolt, right up to the engine and transmission. It may not have exceeded our expectations, but it has never let us down either. For the price paid, we actually do not have any complaints.
So we had settled ourselves with a used Ford Mondeo for over a year now, since selling our Mitsubishi Pajero. However, when the situation dictated the need of a second car primarily for my wife, we went on the hunt for one. After a couple of months of visiting several dealerships and test-driving a lot of cars, we settled on the 2014 Renault Megane 2.0 hatchback, of all things.
Renault’s flagship hatchback, the Megane is receiving an update for 2014 as it inherits a small cosmetic surgery to the front and also a host of new features before it officially hits the market. The facelifted Renault Megane was shown off at the 2013 Frankfurt Motor Show a few weeks back.
