Renault Mégane fans will be pleased to know that Renault has
updated its Mégane range for 2012 including its Hatchback, Coupé and
RenaultSport models. The models have benefitted from styling, trim, engine and
equipment upgrades. In the frenzy of upgrades in the Mégane range, Renault has
introduced the new 1.6 Expression to the Coupé range that replaces the outgoing
Dynamique model and stands alongside the 1.4 Turbo Control Efficiency GT Line.
In terms of styling the new 1.6 Expression Coupé
makes a statement with its new front bumper with bold air intakes in gloss
black with chrome trimming and rides on 19-inch ‘Kaleido’ alloy wheels. The 1.6
Expression is powered by Renault’s 6-litre, 16-valve petrol engine and is mated
to a six-speed manual gearbox. This unit thumps out 81kW at 6 000rpm with
151Nm at 4 250rpm. The 1.6 Expression clocks 100km/h in 10.5 seconds and
will reach a top speed of 190km/h. Fuel efficiency is rated at 6.9-litres/100km
with a CO2 emissions figure of 159g/km.
The 1.4 Turbo Control Efficiency GT Line also features a
sporty bumper that incorporates signature boomerang-shaped LED daytime running
lights with integrated fog lights. The GT Line rides on slick 17-inch ‘Celsium’
Dark Metal alloy wheels. The GT Line is fitted with a 1.4 Turbo Control
efficiency petrol engine that puts out 96kW at 5 500rpm and 190Nm at
2 250rpm.
Standard features for the 1.6 Expression includes
front-loading MP3/CD player with Bluetooth, USB and iPod connectivity, remote
central locking with auto-locking function, electric windows, height-adjustable
driver’s seat, air conditioning, multi-function trip computer and cruise
control with speed limiter function. The GT Line adds dual-zone climate
control, automatic rain and light sensors, Carminat TomTom navigation system
and 8-speaker Arkamys 3D Sound. The GT Line also has a Visio system which
automatically adjusts headlight beams with the help of a front camera as well
as a camera-based lane departure warning system with an on/off button.
You can expect to pay R209 900 for the 1.6 Expression
and R249 900 for the GT Line.
