2017 Renault Magane Review - Interior, Exterior, and Drive
The Renault brand has been doing well in recent years, with the brand’s revenue, operating income, profit, total assets, and total equity all well in the green at the end of 2015. For 2016, Renault ushered in a new generation of the Megane hatchback and, to be quite honest, it is the Megane the world has been waiting for. The hatchback is now longer and wider than before, which gives it an awesome stance, new exterior light units, and interior design cues from the 2016 Renault Tailsman. A total of six engines were available at launch ranging between 90 and 205 horsepower, depending on configuration.
The standard Megane was the first to be announced and was followed by a GT and an Estate version, and not the company has just announced the Megane Sedan.
As a sedan, the car features the same front end as the hatch along with an identical side profile up to the rear doors. After that, the sedan takes on its own styling cues. The big news is that the Sedan features panoramic roof which, according to Renault, isn’t available on any vehicle in this segment. The sedan will be produced at the Bursa plant in Turkey and will be sold in at least 20 countries. As such, it will have a decent range of engines consisting of two gasoline mills and two diesel mills that offer up between 90 and 130 horsepower, depending on market.
Renault has yet to release official measurements for the new Megane Sedan, but considering it is identical to the hatchback all the way back to the rear doors, it’s safe to assume that it is just as wide as the hatchback. It also appears to have the same wheelbase and ride height, but it is a bit longer than the hatch thanks to its sedan nature.

With an official trunk in the rear, it looks like the Megan sedan is roughly about a foot longer in the rear.
The stationary window in the rear door is just a little bit taller, with the waistline at the rear sitting a little lower than on the hatchback version
There are a few minor differences to the side profile that are noticeable to the trained eye. First, the stationary window in the rear door is just a little bit taller, with the waistline at the rear sitting a little lower than on the hatchback version. Due to this styling, the body characteristics at the rear aren’t are prominent as they are on the hatch. The wraparound taillights are the same shape but are larger on the sedan than they are on the hatch. There is also a weird impression just behind the rear door’s glass, which is a little weird, but it seems to fit the contour of the slope in the rear. Renault brand.

Around back, the outer portions of the taillights are, indeed, taller, but the extensions that carry over onto the trunk lid are identical to those on the hatchback. The rear decklid swoops upward in the rear, providing a built-in, spoiler-like element. The rear fascia is similar to that of the hatch, but it features a small air vent in each corner as well as a pair of half-moon reflectors. With the panoramic roof giving a darker appearance to the top of the car, the sedan as a sporty and inviting two-tone look. Not bad, Renault – you actually built a decent sedan. As is the usual case with the introduction of new body style to an existing range, the Megane Sedan features an Identical interior to that of its hatchback and estate brothers.
As you can see it has chrome trim markers on the door panels, shifter handle, center console, center stack, and instrument cluster. The instrument cluster is made up of a seven-inch display, while the center stack features a vertically oriented, 8.7-inch RLINK2 infotainment system. While the display screen and system looks a little primitive – kind of like a tablet you might buy on eBay, for example – you’ve got to hand it to Renault for coming up with a simple and functional cabin.
The seating of the Sedan is identical to that of the hatchback, with the front seats featuring perforated center inserts and large bolsters on the sides to give them a sportier feel The seating of the Sedan is identical to that of the hatchback, with the front seats featuring perforated center inserts and large bolsters on the sides to give them a sportier feel. Renault has yet to release images of the rear seats, and this is where I expect there to be a little bit of difference. Since the Megane has traditionally been a hatchback, it’s only feasible to think that the rear seats in the sedan will lay down to provide even more cargo room in the event that it is needed. According to Renault’s press release, the Megane Sedan boasts “top-level rear-seat spaciousness,” with 17.94 cubic feet of trunk space. Furthermore, the trunk has hands-free access, which is also a newer feature for the
