2014 Renault Megane pricing and specifications

The 2014 Renault Megane has received a nose job, but there’s a lot more to the updated French car than meets the eye.


That’s because Renault has switched from a 2.0-litre four-cylinder petrol engine in the majority of the Megane range to a downsized 1.2-litre turbocharged petrol mill.

The updated Megane’s tiny powerplant produces 97kW of power at 5500rpm and 205Nm of torque at 2000rpm – down in terms of power compared to the old 2.0-litre (103kW), but up in terms of torque (195Nm).

The engine was already available as part of the pre-facelift range in the base Expression model, but it is the only petrol engine available in the new regular Megane line-up. It was previously only available with a manual transmission, but now there's a six-speed dual-clutch automatic available, too.

Fuel use for the new engine drops by 28 per cent, with the manual retaining its claimed 5.6 litres per 100km rating, which is mirrored by the auto despite the manual being the only model with engine stop-start.

The only other engine option is the 1.5-litre turbo diesel four-cylinder, which retains the same outputs of 81kW and 240Nm. This version is only available with a dual-clutch automatic, with fuel use rated at 4.5L/100km.

The Expression version is gone, replaced by the newly added Authentique variant for the hatch, while Renault has expanded the GT-Line range - which sees the adoption of a sportier suspension and steering tune, not to mention a number of styling and specification tweaks - added in 2013, with new hatch and wagon versions available. The entry versions of the wagon are called Dynamique, and see slight equipment differences to the hatch. See below for a full specification and price breakdown.

As was the case with the previous Megane, all models in the five-door hatch and wagon ranges are covered by a three-year capped price service program ($299 per year, services every 12 months or 15,000km), and a five-year/unlimited kilometre warranty.
