New Megane Coupe-Cabriolet

Renault is launching a new Renault Megane Coupe-Cabriolet which combines the elegance of a coupe with the thrills of open-top motoring. The car will be officially launched at the forthcoming Geneva Motor Show and will also be displayed at L’Atelier Renault on the Champs-Elysees in Paris.

Megane hard glass roof

The car has  a standard folding glass hard roof (the largest in its segment) to always ensure a brightly lit cabin and to provide a sensation of space. However the fully-automatic, electro-hydraulic, opening mechanism of this two-part roof allows the driver to lower the top in just 21 seconds. There is also a fixed glass wind deflector to ensure all four passengers can enjoy driving with the roof down. The litre boot capacity is 417 litres with the roof up and 211 litres with the roof down.

With lots of standard options the car is also available in six engine derivatives (three petrol and three diesel).

Petrol options

• 1.6-litre 16V 110hp petrol linked to a six-speed manual gearbox.
• The TCe 130 (Turbo Control efficiency) with a six speed manual.
• The 2.0-litre 16V 140hp also available with the new continuously variable (CVT) transmission.

Diesel options

• The dCI 110 DPF linked to six speed manual or brand new EDC (Efficient Dual Clutch) automatic.
• The dCI 130 DPF linked to the six-speed manual.
• The dCI 160 DPF also with a six speed manual.

There are numerous safety features in this new Megane Coupe-Cabriolet, including ABS with electronic brakeforce distribution, emergency brake assist, ESP, tyre pressure monitoring system, front seatbelt warning lights and numerous airbags. Full vehicle specifications and prices will be released later to the car sale date.
