Product Overview

Renault Megane IV is an affordable compact hatchback in production from 2016 to 2020, whereupon it received a facelift. It was available with a range of inline-4 engines that displaced 1.2 to 1.8 liters.

Compared to the Mk3 model, the Megane IV is more modern in styling but somewhat bland. It uses a range of further-downsized engines, while new DCTs (marketed as EDC) became available. Renault continues to use CVT on select models.

The official fuel economy rating is exceptionally rosy, though it may cast more doubts on the trustworthiness of the regulators and perhaps the owner's own sanity than it relates to reality.

Another plus is the small 10.3m (33.8ft) turning circle.

Reviewers from autocar have found the following***:

The new Mégane RS Cup is a firm-riding hot hatch. You can quickly warm to that old-school ‘like it or lump it’ lack of compromise. The car carves its way around smooth, tight bends with such incisiveness, alacrity and balance that it takes a while to become accustomed to what it can do.

Pros

Comfortable to drive
Good handling

Cons

Bumpy ride
Poor infotainment system

Reviewers from autocar have found the following***:

The Megane RS 300 Trophy is an exciting, visceral hot hatch. It's not as quick off the line as a Volkswagen Golf R despite producing identical power and torque, but a 5.7sec 0-62mph time is plenty quick enough for the road. The 6-speed manual ‘box feels accurate enough, but shifts don't feel all that fluid.

Pros

Cons

Not as responsive as the Civic

Reviewers from autocar have found the following***:

There was a time when a Mégane would be the clear driver’s choice over a Honda or Volkswagen or Hyundai, but that time isn’t now. The Trophy is a fine hot hatchback, with a character and agility that in previous years would have been rewarding enough to make it the best car in the class. But with a feel of artificiality to the way it shifts its corner balance that, most notably, a Hyundai i30 N feels entirely natural doing, it feels like it's trying too hard to please.

Pros

Fantastic chassis balance
Lots of fun to drive

Cons

Rear-steer isn’t as precise as it used to be
Not as agile as rivals

autocar^[4]

Reviewer score 83%

Reviewers from autocar have found the following***:

No rear-steer sets up the Trophy-R with less high-speed stability than the regular RS Mégane, but way more chuckability and consistency of response. The rest of the intoxication is provided by the weight reduction, adoption of adjustable Ohlins dual-flow valve dampers and lightweight springs. Carbon-ceramic brakes are only available on 30 of the 500 Trophy-Rs that’ll be on sale.

Pros

The Renault Mégane RS Trophy-R Nürburgring Record Pack costs £72,140. Only 32 examples of the 500-unit production run will make their way to the UK. The car feels just as bone-shakingly hardcore as its Cup chassis rangemates. It may not feel as stable at high-speed, but the additional confidence it inspires is a welcome trade-off.

Reviewers from autoexpress have found the following***:

The Renault Megane is a staple of the compact hatchback class and has been on sale since 1995. The current car is the Megane Mk4, and it was launched in 2016 after the Mk3 had a relatively long eight-year shelf life. Renault has whittled the engine range down from five to just two, one petrol and one diesel. All cars now feature sat-nav as standard, as well as Apple CarPlay and Android Auto smartphone connectivity.

Pros

Reviewers from autoexpress have found the following***:

The new 1.8-litre engine in the RenaultSport Megane is smaller in capacity than the previous car's 2.0- litre unit. But it's more powerful: with 276bhp and 390Nm of torque. Like the handling, the RS's ride takes some getting used to. It initially feels quite poor, but the faster you're going, the more comfortable it gets. The Megane's large 19-inch wheels bounce in and out of potholes.

Renaultsport Megane Trophy gets a revised version of the Megane's 1.8-litre four-cylinder turbocharged engine. The car also features the Cup chassis option (suspension tweaks and a limited-slip differential) from the regular model, and throws in different front brakes that are designed to resist fade more effectively.

Carbon bonnet saves eight kilos compared to the usual Megane item. Rear diffuser saves another 2.3kg, while titanium exhaust peeking out from within drops another seven. An easy 25kg was lost by ditching the back seats, while the wonderful fixed back, alcantara-trimmed Sabelt items up front cut 14kg between them.

Pros

Reviewers from autoexpress have found the following***:

The Renaultsport Megane RS cuts a striking shape on the road. It's squat stance emphasised by bulging arches housing beautiful 19-inch alloy wheels. There's decent headroom for those in the back, but the deep buckets seats steal a fair bit of knee room and space in the foot well.

Pros

Reviewers from carmagazine have found the following***:

The latest-generation Renault Megane is handsome, likeable, and a more colourful character than most mainstream hatches. But it's no game-changer. It feels as wide as it looks, with reassuringly planted handling. Supple ride, too. Key touch points – steering, pedal actions, gearchange – could offer more feedback.

Pros

Gorgeous design
Wide-ranging range of driving modes

Cons

Fussy infotainment system
Lacklustre rear legroom

Reviewer score 67%

Reviewers from carmagazine have found the following***:

Renault take the 2.0-litre four-pot from the current Megane RS and detune it to 217bhp and 251lb ft. Styling is equally watered down, although you do get a semi-sporting front spoiler, 18in alloys, grippy seats and niceties such as chromed door mirror caps. On paper, that sounds like it's nudging into Golf GTI territory – for £6k less.

Pros

Punchy turbocharged four-pot engine
Decent infotainment system

Cons

No limited-slip diff
Not as thrilling as full-fat RS Meganes
