The new Renault Mégane is here!
It’s been 20 years since the birth of the Renault Mégane and last week the long awaited and much-anticipated new Renault Mégane was launched in South Africa.
This brings the range to its fourth generation with the top-of-the-range being the new Renault Mégane GT powered by Energy TCe 205 1.6 litre engine, mated with 7-speed duel-clutch (EDC) auto gearbox.
“Behind the (new Mégane’s) appeal, there is substance, technology and innovations that will make life easier and more rewarding,” says Laurens van den Acker, Renault’s world-renowned design chief.
