Its sleek profile is the result of painstaking work on the proportion of glass to metal (one-third / two-thirds), as well as its low height (1.44m) and ground clearance (13cm).Its generous dimensions (4.63m long and 1.81m wide, with a record wheelbase in its class of 2.71m) underscore its status-enhancing credentials and provide additional room for occupants.Renault's designers have drawn upon their acclaimed expertise to seamlessly incorporate 550dm3 VDA of boot storage capacity without compromising the vehicle's aesthetic appeal.It stands out from the opposition by dint of its coupé-like silhouette and proportions.However, the new Renault Megane Sedan is far more than merely a four-door version of the new Megane:.The new Renault Megane Sedan is a dynamic and elegant saloon which features the styling hallmarks associated with this type of car which, in many countries, is still the favoured body shape of motorists in search of a vehicle that mirrors their success and social standing. This means it benefits from the same features, technology and engine variants as its five-door sibling, while adding record-breaking roominess for its class with generous space for its occupants and a boot volume of 550dm3 VDA.Ĭourtesy of its dynamic styling and its range of features from the next segment up, the new Renault Megane Sedan represents a genuine upmarket shift, which enables the brand's latest model to position itself as the new benchmark in the compact saloon category. Manufactured at Renault's Bursa plant in Turkey and set to go on sale this autumn in nearly 30 countries, the new Megane Sedan contributes to the brand's global growth and the extension of its product range.īased upon Renault's CMF C/D architecture, the new Renault Megane Sedan was conceived, designed and developed in tandem with the new Megane, launched at the beginning of 2016. This model completes Renault's offering in the C-segment and strengthens the brand's position in markets where compact saloons remain the preferred choice amongst motorists looking for a comfortable and spacious vehicle that reflects their social status. Equipped with the beefier e-motor, the Renault Megane E-Tech Electric does 0 to 62 mph (100 km/h) in a respectable 7.4 seconds before topping out at 100 mph (160 km/h).The Megane family is expanding with the introduction of a four-door version - the new Renault Megane Sedan. Power is provided by an electric motor delivering 130 hp (96 kW) and 250 Nm (184 lb-ft) of torque in the lesser versions and 218 hp (160 kW) and 300 Nm (221 lb-ft) in the more expensive configurations. At the end of the Megane E-Tech Electric's life cycle, 95 percent of the vehicle will be recyclable. Even some of the lower parts of the dashboard are made from recycled plastic, which has also been used for many components in the dash that are not visible. The all-electric Renault is green in more ways than one as aside from its zero-emissions drivetrain, it uses fabric upholstery made entirely out of recycled materials. The cheaper Megane E-Tech Electric versions will have a smaller nine-inch central display with a lower resolution. The generous screen real estate is "worthy of the best premium sedans" according to the French automaker, which goes on to say the large display has a crisp 1250 x 1562 resolution, making the touchscreen crystal clear.
#RENAULT MEGANE SEDAN DRIVER#
The all-digital dashboard takes after the Trezor, Symbioz, and Morphoz concepts by adopting what Renault calls the OpenR display shaped like an inverted "L."Ī 12.3-inch screen is positioned in front of the driver and is complemented by a 12-inch touchscreen for the infotainment system on the higher-spec models. Much like the exterior represents a significant departure from the traditional gasoline- and diesel-fueled Megane models, the interior has also been redesigned from the ground up for the new EV. There are some minor changes like the switch to conventional side mirrors instead of cameras along with less flashy LED headlights and taillights, but the two are largely the same. Speaking of concepts, the new electric crossover is essentially a production version of last year's Megane eVision concept and the similarities are rather obvious. The Megane E-Tech is the first production Renault model to bear the retro-flavored new logo that has already been applied to the conceptual all-electric 5 supermini.
Riding on massive 20-inch wheels, the dedicated EV is only 1.5 meters (59 inches) tall and comes as standard with flush door handles at the front for better aerodynamics while the rear doors get "hidden" handles in the quarter glass.
