The Renault Megane Has Been Discontinued

People easily refer to French flair, but what is it? Just look at the Renault Megane. From the long sloping bonnet to the aggressive curves, the perfectly proportioned wheels framing the door line, to the curve of the roof and the faceted headlights – the Renault Megane is a car unlike any other. This beautiful hatch has graced our roads over several generations but has sadly been discontinued in SA. Luckily, you can still look for a good used Renault Megane, or consider the very desirable Renault Clio. Alternatively, if you want something simpler to drive – consider the cheeky and nippy Renault Kwid.

Megane Styling

The Renault Megane is a triumph of good French design and daily practicality. It is a family friendly car with a sporty look that is enhanced by its wider wheel arches, large front air intake and F1®-inspired aerodynamic blade. In essence this is the perfect car for a young family who want to still have fun while traversing the streets of South Africa. If the standard features and already-impressive design aren’t enough, there are many Renault Megane styling accessories to choose from.

Megane Driving & Handling

On the road the result is clear, the Renault Megane is built to drive and have fun in! In fact it could even be said that the overall driving and handling is perky, especially in the Megane models powered by the excellent 97kW and 151kW turbocharged petrol engines.

Megane Safety Tech

Previous models of the Megane have all performed exceptionally well in even the most stringent crash test environments. So it should come as no surprise then that once again Renault has loaded its latest Megane model with everything from ABS + EBD + EBA + ESP + ASR, to multiple Airbags in both the front and rear of the car.

Quality, sportiness, safety and frugal fuel use are probably the biggest selling points for the Renault Megane. But this is most certainly not the only thing that the car offers. It is also easy on the eye, fun to drive and most importantly for many people it makes a BOLD statement.
