The new Mégane Coupé-Cabriolet rounds off the renewal of the New Mégane family, in style with introduction of the line-up’s sixth body type. The newcomer’s striking looks combine the elegance of a coupé with the promise of the thrills that go hand-in-hand with driving a cabriolet.
New Mégane CC builds on the strengths that forged the success of its predecessor – including a large, fully-automatic folding glass roof, which lowers in 21 seconds at the press of a button. The new Mégane CC also benefits from improvements such as a stiffer chassis and a new electric power steering system for better handling. An all-new 6-speed automatic EDC (Efficient Dual Clutch) transmission, or a new continuously variable transmission (CVT), is available on certain models in the range. Apart from its stylish redesign, small styling details, such as the high-gloss black and satin-effect chrome exterior features, add an additional touch of class.
New Mégane Coupé-Cabriolet is manufactured alongside Scénic and Grand Scénic at Renault’s Douai plant in France. It consequently benefits from the experience gained since the beginning of the Mégane programme, including the assembly of the former-generation Mégane Coupé-Cabriolet.
Three petrol and three diesel engines will be available in Europe. The petrol range consists of a 80 kW 1,6-litre, 103 kW 2,0-litre and a 95 kW 1,4-litre TCe turbocharged engine. The diesel line-up features available power outputs of 80 kW, 95 kW or 117 kW from the dCi engines.
A 6-speed manual transmission is standard across the range, with Renault’s new 6-speed EDC (Efficient Dual Clutch) transmission available when mated to the 80 kW diesel engine.
New Mégane Coupé-Cabriolet goes on sale in Europe’s spring time, while an expected release date and engine line-up has not yet been confirmed for South Africa.
