The first generation Renault The Megan replaced the Renault 19, which was popular in the old world in its years. Megan of the first generation was distinguished by an excellent level of safety - not every small car of the mid-90s could get four stars according to the EuroNCAP method. In 2002, the production of the second generation Renault Megane began, which managed to gain five stars on the EuroNCAP tests. 
Today, the third generation of Megan is being produced, production is carried out at a plant in Turkey, where a soplatform sedan is being assembled. The model is no longer new, her debut took place in 2008 at Paris Motor Show, then a five-door hatchback was shown, and two years later in Geneva, the French showed a two-door version. The French themselves classify the three-door hatchback as a coupe. As time shows, on the roads of the CIS, the third-generation Megan is significantly inferior in popularity to other Renault models: and even the crossover significantly surpasses the “C” class hatchback in terms of sales. The French hatchback has very strong competitors:, and - this is just not complete list similar cars... The oldest model in the Renault lineup is the Renault Scenic. The hatchback is built on a slightly modernized platform. previous generation but the wheelbase new car increased by 15mm, we note that the Nissan Qashqai is built on the same platform.
Appearance review:
As described above, Megane third generation is offered in the form of a five and three-door hatchback, later a station wagon and a convertible became available. Unlike previous model class sedan - "C" is now represented by the Fluence model. In the summer of 2012, a light facelift was carried out, during which the headlights received strips of running lights, and the front bumper received new sockets for foglights. 
A distinctive feature of Renault Megan is plastic protection the lower part of the doors, which is not so often found on golf class cars. In the basic equipment, Megan is shod in tires measuring 205/65 R15, but 16-inch tires are offered as an option. cast wheels... It is very convenient that, unlike many French cars, the gas tank cap does not have to be opened with a key, the cap opens together with the gas tank flap. Megan can be painted in the following colors: Blanc Glacier - white, Cassiopeia Gray - gray, Platinum Gray - light gray, Starlit Black - black, Bright Red - red, Pearl White - white. Sirius Yellow - yellow. 
Salon overview:
In an expensive configuration, Renault Megan is equipped with a key - a card, it is interesting that the engine start button is located under the radio unit, and not in the area of the steering wheel - as most other manufacturers do. Below the engine start buttons, at the very bottom of the center console, there are inputs for AUX and USB. The front seats have a height adjustment of the cushion, and heated front seats are available as an option. 
Note that the seats are heated very quickly - 20-30 seconds. The key for turning on the heating is located on the end of the chair, so the button cannot be seen if the heating is turned on or off, the manufacturer has put a special indicator on dashboard... A driver who has not driven Renault before will notice how long and soft the clutch pedal is - this is not for everybody. The basic Renault Megane package includes front power windows, four airbags and air conditioning, but at the request of the first owner, the Megan can be equipped with six airbags, dual-zone climate control and an optional 3D Sound by Arkamys audio system with 30W speakers, while the standard speakers have power at 15W. There is a rather deep glove compartment in front of the front passengers, but the most interesting box for things is a secret niche under the driver's feet. In basic configuration Renault Megane 3 is equipped with safety head restraints, like the previous generation, the third Megan received five stars in safety tests. There is not too much space above the heads of the rear passengers and it cannot be said that there is plenty of free space in the knee zone. As a convenience for those sitting in the back, an armrest and separate air ducts are provided.
The spare wheel is mounted under the floor, that is, it can only be reached from the outside, which is not quite typical for a small car. Megan's trunk volume is 372 liters, but the backs of the sofa fold in a 40/60 ratio, which makes it possible to increase the volume to 1129 liters.
Technical part and characteristics of Megane 3
Three engines are offered for Renault Megan supplied to the CIS markets, one of them is diesel. 1.5DCI develops 105 Horse power and 240 N.M of thrust, the engine complies with Euro4 environmental standards and has already proven itself well on the SUV - Duster. Gasoline 1.6 produces 106hp and 145 newtons of torque. The most powerful 2.0L petrol engine produces 138hp and 190NM of torque, this motor can only be docked with a stepless variator, while diesel unit docked with a six-speed mechanics, and the petrol 1.6 can be "engaged" with a five-speed mechanics, or a four-speed automatic.
The steering wheel is not very informative, partly "to blame" for the low informativeness electric amplifier steering wheel. The basic equipment includes ABS and EBV (brake force distribution), and ESP is available as an option.
Let's pay attention to the technical Renault characteristics Megane 3 in the back of a five-door hatchback with a 1.6 engine and mechanics.

The big advantage of Renault Megan is its high ground clearance and metal crankcase protection, which is not at all superfluous on our roads.
The handling cannot be called polished, even sedans of the 90s of production, such as, or will significantly surpass Renault in handling, but they will not give such a smooth ride.
Price
Minimum Renault price Megane 3 with mechanics and 1.6 engine - $ 20,000. A car with a 2.0 engine and a CVT costs $ 25,000.
Sales market: Russia.
The Renault Mégane Hatch is an elegant, dynamic vehicle with sporty design elements. In third generation Megane became more impetuous and beautiful, more modern and personable. Has increased wheelbase, the car has become wider. In terms of its capabilities, the third generation is in many ways superior to its predecessor - Megane has received many new functions and additional options... In 2012, the model was restyled. The manufacturer slightly corrected the exterior of the car, which received new bumpers, LEDs in the headlights, new decorative trims and wheel disks... The interior has been replenished with new finishing materials. In the modifications offered for the Russian market, a new 114-horsepower unit with a variator has been added to the previous 1.6-liter engine (106 hp), and the two-liter engine now provides a choice of transmission: the 6-speed "mechanics" has become an alternative to the variator.
IN standard equipment Renault Megane Authentique includes halogen headlights, power and heated mirrors; interior fabric upholstery, driver's seat with height adjustment, integral backrest rear seat; central locking and front power windows; air conditioner, on-board computer. Confort equipment: front fog lights, steering wheel in leather braid, heated front seats, and power windows for the front and rear doors; audio system with MP3 support and steering wheel control buttons. In more expensive trim levels are available: engine start button, lumbar adjustment for the driver, remote control locks, climate control, multimedia system with navigation system, combined upholstery and much more.
The base engine with a volume of 1.6 liters produces 106 hp. power and 145 Nm of torque. It accelerates the hatchback to "hundreds" in 11.7 seconds. in combination with a 5-speed "mechanics" and in 13.9 seconds. in combination with a 4-speed "automatic". Combined fuel consumption is 6.8 and 7.5 l / 100 km. The new 1.6-liter engine produces 114 hp. (155 Nm). Paired with a CVT, it accelerates the car to 100 km / h in 11.9 seconds. Combined fuel consumption is 6.6 l / 100 km. The two-liter engine has a capacity of 137 hp. (190 Nm) and is now offered either in combination with a variator or with a manual 6-speed gearbox. In the first case, it will take 10.1 seconds to accelerate to "hundreds", in the second - 9.9 seconds. Average fuel consumption is 7.8 and 8 l / 100 km, respectively.
Running gear Renault quality Megane is quite consistent with its dynamic appearance: the car accurately, obediently and efficiently executes commands, providing a high level of driving comfort and safety, thanks to the wide front and rear tracks (1546 / 1547mm), the presence of electric power steering with variable effort, as well as a modern chassis, combined front suspension McPherson with rear semi-independent and disc brakes front and rear (front ventilated). Minimum turning radius hatchback Renault Megane is 5.55 m. Height ground clearance- 165 mm.
While creating new Renault Megane has given great importance to its security system, which is one of the best in this category. It includes dual side impact sensors and dual-chamber chest and pelvic airbags to help mitigate the effects of a side impact. Standard equipment includes anti-lock braking system(ABS) with brake force distribution (EBD). In more expensive configurations, the equipment includes safety curtains, a system electronic control sustainability (ESP).
Along with the high strength of the body, the Megane hatchback is distinguished by high quality execution, as well as careful selection of materials. Five-door hatchback quite roomy - the volume of its trunk varies from 368 to 1125 liters. Of the shortcomings of the model, many users note the complexity of maintenance and limited capabilities. self repair... Like many "French", used Megane quickly lose value.
Read completelyIn modern conditions of the economic crisis, it is especially popular with Russian buyer cars are purchased inexpensive foreign cars... Especially those that, at a relatively low price, offer a wide range of the most modern options... The products of the Renault concern, presented in 2014 in the car market of our country by the restyled Renault car model, look quite good in this row. We are talking about the third generation Megan hatchback designed, according to experts, to revive the fading interest in this car. Let's take a close look at this car, mark it positive traits, we will get acquainted with the reviews of those who have already purchased it.
Appearance
Megan in new version presented at Russian market only in the back of a hatchback with five or three doors, a sedan and a station wagon (very popular in Europe) never reached us. I would like to note that restyling mainly involves changes in the appearance and increasing the comfort of the car, it does not include any structural changes. Therefore, the car looks serious and modern.
Finished, flowing body lines combined with deep wheel arches and LED optics create a lasting impression. And when you look at the three-door model, a comparison with a sports car involuntarily suggests itself. New Renault received LED running lights, headlamp lenses and modified foglights, which had a positive effect on the light-weight ratio in general. A revised front bumper with an improved lower skirt rounds off the overall picture. All these innovations have collected a number of positive feedback about the car.
Technical specifications
IN technically there have been no major changes. Power units represented by a line of three gasoline engines:
- engine with a volume of 1.6 liters and a capacity of 106 (145Nm) horsepower. It was originally manufactured as a base for use on some more models. 4-cylinder, in-line, with a cast iron cylinder head. Equipped drive belt gas distribution mechanism. Works with five-speed gearbox only. This motor accelerates to 100 km / h in 11.7 seconds, and the maximum speed is 183 km / h. In the urban cycle, fuel consumption is 8.8 liters, and on the highway 5.4 liters per 100 km.
- 1.6-liter engine with 114 (155Nm) horsepower. It has a completely different design - the block head is aluminum, and the timing is driven by a chain. This motor only comes with the X-Tronik CVT. Acceleration time to hundreds of 11.9 seconds, maximum develops 175 km / h. In the city it consumes 8.9 liters, and outside the city 5.2 liters per 100 kilometers.
- a 2.0-liter engine with a capacity of 137 (190Nm) horsepower. Has 4 cylinders and 16 valves. This motor is already installed with a six-speed manual transmission and an X-Tronik CVT. The maximum speed is 200 km / h, and the acceleration time to 100 km / h is 9.9 seconds. (variator 10.1sec). This engine consumes from 6.2 to 11 liters of fuel.
The front suspension of the car is made in the classic "Macpherson" style with wishbones, a beam with a programmed deformation is installed at the rear. The brake system is 280 mm in front and 260 mm in the back. Steering shown as adaptive with a steering wheel speed of 3.1 between the end positions. Installation of 15, 16 and 17 inch wheels with decorative caps is provided.
Diesel car
Concluding the conversation about the technical characteristics of the third generation, I would like to focus on a hatchback with a diesel engine. Unfortunately, cars of this modification are not available for sale in Russia. It's a pity. After all, a diesel engine is attractive, first of all, because of its low fuel consumption and high reliability of operation. Diesel is unpretentious and low-cost.
The only serious drawback is operation in conditions severe frosts... Diesel is difficult to start and requires very high quality fuel.
Despite this, motorists have found a way out - they go abroad on their own and buy a car directly there. What is diesel engine Renault Megan?
The 1.5 dCi engine installed on the third generation hatchback is a 1.5 liter diesel that develops 90 horsepower. 1.5 dCi accelerates from 0 to 100 km / h in 12.5 seconds and reaches speeds of up to 180 km / h. Fuel consumption is 5.3 liters per 100 km in the urban cycle, and 4 liters in the extra-urban cycle.
Given the constant rise in fuel prices, consumption looks very attractive. In their reviews, the owners of diesel 1.5 dCi note the good dynamics of the car, stable engine throttle response, low operating costs and ease of maintenance. Judging by the reviews, the 1.5 dCi diesel is real alternative gasoline version.
Conclusion
If we summarize all the reviews of the owners of the new Renault Megan of the third generation, then the final review will be as follows - this is an ideal city car that has an attractive appearance, high efficiency, comfortable suspension and good sound insulation.
The new hatchback is easy to drive, comfortable and has a very wide range of electronic options. But reviews warn that Renault hatchback is most likely not suitable for trips to nature. The permeability is not the same. And this is perhaps its only drawback.
Recently in the press and on the Internet there was information about the start of the project, which promises a complete renewal lineup... 2016 marked the beginning of the production of new cars. But they are not yet, and Renault Megan remains the best.
Many car enthusiasts are confused, Megane 2 was very successful, what happened to Megane 3? In terms of sales, it was bypassed by direct competitors, the French Citroen C4 and Koreans. Why didn't it sell as well as the second one? Test drive Renault Megan 3 hatchback clarified the picture.
The first thing that influenced the result was that the French abandoned the Megane sedan. In principle, there was a sedan, but it was called Fluence, it was separated into a separate model.
First impression
Upon acquaintance, Renault Megane 3 looks good, but not for everybody. You sit down forward - it is convenient, but the front panel, which is strongly extended towards the driver, immediately catches the eye. She steals free space in the cabin.
Sitting back in the hatchback, you feel that there is little space, and in the C-class there should be satisfactory comfort and minimal space. There is a lot of space above the head - it is cool and felt. But at the feet of its minimum, instantly rests against the soft rear seat trim. The main competitors are better with this. Another nuance is the same as on Sandero - the corner of the door is sharp.
The Megane has a tradition that the station wagon and sedan in the second generation have a larger base than the hatchback. If we compare a hatchback and a station wagon in the third generation - 65 mm is the difference in wheelbase. They go to the feet of the passenger. Renault Megan 3 station wagon cannot be called cramped - these six and a half centimeters save the situation.
Body
Here is a special thanks to the creators of Renault Megane 3 for the bodywork. Firstly, a lid is integrated into the fuel filler flap - no need to open or close anything. Secondly, the door itself closes for the alarm. The advantages of the C-class are immediately felt. For example, on Sandero you have to go out every time, open the lid with a key, you get bored. Here you already feel like a man, they drove you up.
Back cover. If we take a two-door coupe, then the body is different, because the trunk is slightly smaller. The four to five door hatchback has a slightly larger trunk, the difference is literally 20 liters.
During the test drive Renault Megan 2, criticisms related to the lack of a normal door closing handle. There is already some handle for the trunk.
Negative moment. The spare wheel is located at the bottom - an unpleasant surprise for drivers in winter.
Traditionally, like all Renault, high corrosion resistance. The only small jamb, the rubber band, in the first pre-styling models, was very tough, it simply wiped the paint to the metal. But the metal is good, nothing rusted. The company quickly found its bearings and eliminated this shortcoming. We changed the composition of the rubber - it became softer. The oversight was corrected already in the second restyling, and there were 2 of them - in 2012 and 2014.
After modernization in the twelfth year, the car was updated. We changed the headlights, added daytime running lights, and slightly changed the front bumper. If we talk about the fourteenth - there is already a more solid restyling. The car has changed in front, today this design looks relevant, modern.
Motor
Renault always offers wide selection... Gasoline engines from 1.2 to 2 liters, diesel - 1.5, traditionally several capacities of 85 - 110 horsepower.
Diesel 1.5 for Renault Megane 3 is a compromise option, in terms of the fact that both the consumption is small and the pickup is good. The car is well noise-insulated, the diesel sound in the cabin is almost inaudible. Plus, with this motor, 6-speed manual boxes gears and a 6-speed robot with two clutches.
There is a prejudice about the "robot".
We know the DSG at Wolksvagen has had reliability issues for a long time. But in fairness, all manufacturers are gradually switching to similar boxes. They allow you to make the car more economical, since switching occurs without taking power off the wheels, instantly. The manufacturer claims that the switch occurs in 0.26 seconds. There are no questions about these boxes. Safety factor 250,000 - 300,000 km. If we take an early Volkswagen 2G, then there were already some problems with 100,000, and some cars with 30,000 began to jerk.
In Megan 3 there are disadvantages inherent in a robotic box:
- it is inconvenient to drive in traffic jams in the city,
- problematic switching from first to second gear.
But there are no complaints about reliability.
If we talk about the engine 1.6. Meghan 2's reviews showed there were support issues. Periodically crashed and the engine began to knock. Difficulties with phase shifter and individual coils. In the third generation, all these shortcomings have been eliminated.
1.6 is a hassle-free option. On a two-liter gasoline engine there is a Nissan motor with a chain. From 1.6 went five-speed gearbox from two-liter engine, six-speed manual transmission.
Suspension
The third generation Megane favorably distinguishes itself from its competitors - the suspension. Both in the second and in the third Megan, the suspension is very good, energy-intensive and soft. By what means?
This clearance is 170 mm. The wheels are 16th, but the high rubber profile adds softness and smoothness. MacPherson in front, beam in back. For the C-class, the beam - the best option... If we talk about the resource of the chassis, then it is better to completely enumerate the front suspension by 60,000.
The front suspension has a small weakness- the anthers and bumpers on the front struts are combined, and the rubber sinned with rigidity. Now original spare parts with other rubber and the part can easily withstand 60,000 km. But the suspension should be renewed every 60,000 km. Tank 60 liters.
Cons and pros
The downside is poor visibility due to the wide stance. Sometimes, backing up, you may not see a person walking from the side, this must be taken into account. Small, convex and very sloping rear glass impairs the view.
Large torpedo up front stealing cabin space, security pay. Megan is very safe car, five stars.
Mostly, the opinions of the owners are positive. IN diesel version pleases expense. Really spends 3.5 liters on the highway. Sounds fantastic. But this is provided that the motor is new.
I like the suspension with clearance. It is worth noting one advantage of the car in its class - it is very capacious. Large eversion of the steering wheel and low revs, only two and a half from edge to edge. Good electric power, light steering wheel allows you to comfortably move around the streets of the city, park. Unlike Megan, 2 gear selector is normal.
In general, it turned out nice car, an empty bundle cost $ 15,000 in 2016.
Salon
A bunch of questions about the ergonomics of the cabin. Indeed, many things are unusual here. Firstly, the start-stop button on the center console, here the key is inserted, the card. Replaced the climate-controlled tape recorder. The inclusion of seat heating is located inconveniently, on the side of the door, between the door and the seat. You have to control it by touch. Cruise control, if fitted, is located on the center console / steering wheel / underneath, as is customary. There are a number of questions about the car, but this is a matter of habit.
High-quality upholstery, made of good materials, the torpedo from above is soft. Cloth salon wear-resistant, but the leather is cheap, it bursts even with low mileage. We changed the design of the amplifier, the rails, the bushing is not erased so quickly.
Outcomes
The car is modified, good, but not for everybody. And yet, why is Megan 3 being bought so little? Everything negates the lack of space, little space in the back. Although this disadvantage is compensated for by safety, reliability and an overall sense of quality.
Not like that modern engine as it might be on competitor's models, but it works day in and day out. In general, the car is good: equipment, motors, gearboxes, suspension - the best in its class. See for yourself, a test drive video is available on YouTube. The choice is yours.
