Sheer luck has led to our photographers snapping these images of the next Renault Megane sedan in France.
While it may not be all that popular here in Australia, it is a very important car for South and East European and South American markets.
The new hatchback version is expected to make its debut at the Paris motor show later this year boasting a revolutionary new design which it will share with the sedan model.
The sedan version is just one of a long list of models available in the Megane range, including a coupe, convertible, estate and possibly a crossover.
Sharing its platform with the Nissan Qashqai, the new Megane is set to compete against the Peugeot 308, Fiat Bravo and VW Golf VI.

The new Megane hatch actually looks pretty good, it no longer has a big boot, looks relatively normal.

I agree with Myke, the new hatch is a big improvement. In my area, VW Golfs are so common they are like Camrys, so an alternative European hatch with the right styling would really kick goals.

the new renualt megane wont be built in europe so its new price point will compete with corrola and mazda 3. I like the new hatch except the taillight

It would be brilliant if it had the same selling point as the rolla and 3. Problem is, Anything with a Euro badge in Australia attracts a premium price.
Saying that, Renault have always had a pretty competitive price. Looking at the current Megané and its standard features outweigh the same vintage Corolla featured out. With the rolla a few thousand on top in the end.
I’d rather something not so common on the roads without having to spend $100K and worry about where to park it when I go to the pub with my mates, or whatever.

I agree with SteveC, the Mégane has a lot more personality because of its nice very French design and rarity. You most likely won’t see another on the road (which is sad that they don’t sell more, but Aussies don’t really seem to ‘get’ Renault).

The Renault Megane can be priced very cheaply. $19990 approx driveawy on occasions but be careful. All European cars are not created equal! I learnt this when I just about got clobbered by a Peugeot rear vision mirror on a test drive. I own a low km Renault Megane and am facing hefty bills for auto repairs without back up from the dealer in Hornsby or Renault/Nissan. They appear to be willing to put out cars with serious problems and simply walk away. This is why they can’t command the same price as some other well-engineered European makes. I wouldn’t touch another Renault until I know they are reliable and Renault/Nissan and the dealers will stand behind the brand and customers.
