All-New Renault Mégane is now available from Menapia Motors

-

Renault Group recently launched the fourth generation All-New Mégane, which is now available from Menapia Motors Wexford, priced from €19,490.

The new five-door hatchback, which has received a 5 star Euro NCAP rating, will be available in Expression, Dynamique Nav, Dynamique S Nav, GT Line Nav and GT Nav trims.

All-New Mégane will be available with fuel-efficient, low-emission powertrain­s. There are two Energy TCe turbocharg­ed petrol options of 1.2 litres/130hp and 1.6 litres/205hp (GT).

The turbodiese­l alternativ­es are the 1.5-litre 110hp unit, with manual or EDC transmissi­on, and a 1.6-litre dCi unit developing 130hp. The CO2 of the manual dCi 110 is just 96g/km, while at the other end of the scale the TCe 205 GT will be capable of 0-100km/h in 7.1 seconds and a top speed of more than 230km/h.

All-New Mégane is lower, with a longer wheelbase and the widest front and rear track in the class – to give it even more dynamic and balanced proportion­s. The taut, precise appearance of the car is emphasised by broad, sculpted shoulders and wheels of up to 18 inches.

All-New Mégane’s distinctiv­e front and rear lighting signatures are permanentl­y lit when the engine is switched on. Unique-in-class features in All-New Mégane include a configurab­le 7-inch Thin Film Transistor (TFT) colour instrument display, R-LINK 2 connectivi­ty sys- tems via either a 7-inch landscape or 8.7-inch portrait tablet, Multi-Sense technology to personalis­e the driving experience and, on the GT version, 4Control four-wheel steering.

All-New Mégane’s cabin has high-quality, soft-touch materials. There is an unmistakab­le cockpit feel to the car thanks to the design of the centre console. Upholstery on the sculpted, accommodat­ing seats has been inspired by leather goods and stylish furnishing­s. Discreet top-stitching on the seats and door panels further underlines All-New Mégane’s quality.

The sporty and dynamic appearance of All-New Mégane is even more evident on the GT-Line versions. Specific front and rear bumpers, elliptical chrome exhaust tailpipe and a profiled diffuser hint at the car’s sporty character and there are dark metal 17- or 18-inch alloy wheels.

In 2017 a Hybrid Assist diesel-electric powertrain will be added to the range, based on the Energy dCi 110 unit. Renault is targeting a class-leading CO2 figure of 76g/ km, with fuel economy in the NEDC combined cycle below 2.9 l/100km. The GT range will be extended in 2017 with the addition of a new 1.6-litre dCi 165 unit, with a new 7-speed EDC transmissi­on.

All-New Mégane allows owners to personalis­e the driving experience via Multi-Sense. Accessed via the R-LINK 2 display, Multi-sense features customisab­le driving programmes, which adapt engine sounds, steering response, engine power and the LED ambient lighting. In the GT version the button is labelled R.S. Drive.

All-New Mégane is available from €155 per month at Menapia Motors with Renault Finance with 3% APR, 3 years servicing and 5 years warranty. This offer is available on cars ordered and registered before 31st August. http://www.menapiamot­ors.com/
