Renault Middle East has chosen late December to announce that the new Megane hatchback has been introduced to the region – even though it went on sale in November.
The sporty-looking hatch is said to offer good interior space and lots of equipment. There’s a choice of three engines: 1.6 16V 110hp with a 5-speed manual gearbox, a 1.5 16V 105hp featuring a 4-speed automatic gearbox, and a 2.0 16V 143hp with Renault-Nissan Alliance developed CVT gearbox.
Safety plays an important part with research carried out by LAB (the Accident Analysis, Biomechanics and Human Behaviour Laboratory of PSA Peugeot-Citroën and Renault) resulting in a host of active and passive safety features, including include ABS, EBD and Emergency Brake Assist. Depending on the version, ESC (Electronic Stability Control) and CSV understeer control are also available to assist the driver in difficult or emergency situations.
Renault GCC Managing Director, Mustansir Lakdawala, said: ‘The new Renault Megane Hatch is a great looking and high performing addition to the line up. The concept debuted at the Geneva Motorshow in 2008, and the end product is a superbly well rounded car, offering customers new levels of stylish comfort.
‘With the new Megane Hatch we are delivering yet more best in class performance in areas of comfort, with the 70 mm of height adjustment in the front seats being a segment leader. This type of detail helps passengers of Renault vehicles really enjoy the experience of driving or being driven. The Renault baseline is ‘Drive the Change’, and by having this type of innovation in our vehicles we are bringing new levels of comfort to consumers.’
But despite the car already being on sale, they haven’t sent us any prices. We’ll post them up as soon as we get them.
