The Renault Megane series was continued in 2006 with a new facelift installed on both 3- and 5-door hatchbacks.
The French manufacturer redesigned the front grille, the headlights and the front bumper which now provide a more modern look to the car first presented by Renault in 1995. Some engines installed on the 2002 versions are not available anymore but the top engine remains the 2.0-liter 16V turbo that produces 165 horsepower and a maximum speed of 136.7 mph. This new model of Megane was kept in production for only two years, Renault replacing it with the third generation in 2008.
