The second generation Renault Megane received a facelift in 2006 when the French carmaker upgraded both the design and the technical specifications of the car.
The appearance was enhanced with restyled headlights and a re-shaped front bumper which now provide a more modern and stylish look. The suspension system was also improved while the number of engine configurations was reduced, now ranging between 1.4 16V and 2.0 dCI. The top engine of this model was a 2.0-liter 16V turbo which developed 165 horsepower and a top speed of 136.7 mph, with a 0 to 100 km/h acceleration done in 8.3 seconds.
