2016 Renault Megane

1. NEW RENAULT MÉGANE: A DYNAMIC, DISTINCTIVE DESIGN...
 20 years after the launch of Renault Mégane, which sold over
6.5 million units worldwide, Renault is updating its family car and
has revealed New Mégane, the fourth car to carry that name.
 In a highly competitive segment, New Mégane stands out with its
dynamic styling and distinctive lighting signature both at the front
and at the rear.
 The latest Mégane range is topped by a GT version, which will be
available from launch, and whose design is inspired by
Renaultsport.
A distinctive, dynamic, meticulous design
With its distinctive lighting signature and balanced proportions, New Mégane
is first and foremost a Renault. It adopts the brand's design DNA with broad,
sculpted shoulders and a front face incorporating the brand's new design
identity, including a large, vertical Renault diamond. As a relative of Renault
Talisman, New Mégane boasts a specific lighting signature at the front with,
C-shaped headlamps whose surround continues into the bumper. At the rear,
the new lighting signature, visible by both day and night, goes right across the
car to increase the perceived width of the vehicle. "On the highly competitive
market of compact saloons, it was vital that New Mégane should stand out
right from the first glance", says exterior designer Franck Le Gall.
At 25mm lower in front with track 47mm wider in front and 39mm wider at the
rear compared to the third generation Mégane, New Mégane sits squarely on
the road. Its proportions are those of a sporty silhouette with a wheelbase
28mm longer and a shorter overhang. Franck goes on: "The precise, taut
lines, which draw the whole design towards the front, are part of the side
surfaces." In combination with the sculpted shoulders, these lines give New
Mégane dynamism and character."
Chromed elements emphasise the top of the belt line and enhance the grille,
the side badges and door handles. The slim creases on the bonnet, combined

2. with the chrome beading and side air scoops, strengthen the character of the
front face.
An exclusive GT version, available from launch
New Mégane GT has a front bumper redesigned to express a more sporty
personality. It incorporates a broader air intake and the new grill has a
honeycomb design.
At the rear, the design of New Mégane GT is underscored by two chromed
tailpipes that echo the air scoops further to the front and frame a spoiler
inspired by the world of F1. New Mégane GT has "Renaultsport" badging at
the rear, on the wings and at the front.
This sports version will be available with new "Iron Blue" paintwork, combined
with "Dark Metal" touches at the front and on the body-coloured door mirrors
to emphasise its affinity with the world of GT motoring.
New Mégane GT also has 18-inch aluminium wheels developed especially for
the model by Renaultsport.
In Frankfurt, New Mégane will be fully revealed…
