Renault Megane estate is a boost to range

There is a lot to like about Renault’s model line-up right now and we’ve just driven a car which underlines that point with a considerable degree of emphasis.

While the new Megane range has impressed us with its coherent and attractive design, one got the impression that while it was making inroads into the stronghold territory of Ford, Toyota, and VW, it was still not quite yet at the top table.

Certainly, the subtle styling, the massive standard kit and the attractive pricing regime has improved the Megane’s ability to complete with the class leaders and even the old 1.5 dCi turbodiesel doesn’t seem as tired or jaded as it might have done and has thus not lessened the car’s potential appeal.
