Renault unveiled an all new Megane compact hatchback at the 2015 Frankfurt Auto Show, which is longer, lower and better looking than the previous generation.
Built on Renault’s Common Module Family (CMF) platform, the 2016 Renault Megane hatchback looks sportier and more elegant than ever. Fluid shapes converge with hard angles to create a wide planted stance as well as a more upmarket feeling. New color choices, rims and other exterior enhancements are on the list as well.
The interior adopts a cockpit style, with most of the features being clustered around the driver in an enveloping L-shape. The list of features include better fit and finish, new materials, colors, soft-touch panels, Nappa leather trimmings on higher-end models, a full color head-up display, 7-inch color TFT instrument display as well as an 8.8 inch R-Link 2 touchscreen infotainment system, rearview camera, parking assist and more.
Mechanically, the car’s stance has been altered, being wider, lower and extending the wheelbase. Drivers can also chose between 5 driving modes to best suit their needs by modifying the gas pedal and engine response, as well as the speed of the gershifts on the dual-clutch automatic transmission.
