In 2013 Renault thought that some people might want a three-in-one car: something that can go fast, something that can be comfortable and also be able to accommodate five people and some luggage inside.
Something like a Golf GTI. So, it came up with the Megane GT. The car is just a regular compact-sized Renault, but with some special gizmos installed.
First of all, the engine is a detuned Renault Sport engine. So, instead of punching with 280 hp, it pushes with 220 hp. To be comfortable enough in daily traffic, it has an optional 7-speed EDC gearbox. This is the Renault name for the dual-clutch gearbox. Inside the cabin passengers can notice a big, R-Link infotainment unit in the middle of the dashboard. The infotainment unit is Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatible.
It has room for five and a decent trunk and, if needed, can top a 0 to 100 kph (0-62 mph) sprint in 7.6 seconds with the manual transmission. A nice improvement for the car’s dynamic is the four-wheel steering system, which helps the car turn faster in short turns and counter-balance the understeer at higher speeds. The suspension is stiffer compared to the other Megane 5-door version, and the ground clearance is the same as the sportier, 3-door version.
