Renault Megane RS review - pictures

by: Auto Express team
20 Sep 2018
Go to: Renault Megane RS review
  • Renault Megane RS - front

    The long awaited 276bhp Renaultsport Megane R.S has stiff competition in the crowded hot hatch market.

  • Renault Megane RS - rear
  • Renault Megane RS - dash

    The interior keeps the Megane look with some Renaultsport badges scattered around the place and racy red stitching.

  • Renault Megane RS - front action
  • Renault Megane RS - full front action
  • Renault Megane RS - front tracking

    The engine is smaller than the previous generation but the 1.8 litre turbo is more powerful and produces 276bhp and 390Nm of torque.

  • Renault Megane RS - front cornering
  • Renault Megane RS - front
  • Renault Megane RS - front static

    Both a manual and automatic gearboxes are available for the Megane R.S, following the criticism of the automatic only Clio R.S.

  • Renault Megane RS - rear static
  • Renault Megane RS - low rear static
  • Renault Megane RS - steering wheel

    Four-wheel steer is standard for the Megane R.S and helps give it a stable feel through fast corners.

  • Renault Megane RS - steering wheel detail
  • Renault Megane RS - sat-nav

    The portrait infotainment system groups together the sat-nav, driving modes and hi-fi controls giving the dashboard a clutter free look.

  • Renault Megane RS - infotainment
  • Renault Megane RS - screen
  • Renault Megane RS - info

    The R.S features special graphics including brake pressure and throttle percentage.  

  • Renault Megane RS - button
  • Renault Megane RS - transmission
  • Renault Megane RS - interior detail

    Despite its sporty badge, the R.S is reasonably economical with a quoted 39.2 mpg.

  • Renault Megane RS - front seat
  • Renault Megane RS - rear seats
  • Renault Megane RS - sill

    Renaultsport badges are subtle reminders that this car is capable of hitting 60mph in under 6 seconds.

  • Renault Megane RS - boot
  • Renault Megane RS - front detail
  • Renault Megane RS - front light

    The Megane R.S builds on the standard Meganes striking looks, including the eye-catching LED’s.

  • Renault Megane RS - fog light
  • Renault Megane RS - RS badge
  • Renault Megane RS - wheel

    The ride in the R.S is a little rough on its 19-inch wheels and you can feel the car bouncing in and out of potholes.

  • Renault Megane RS - side detail
  • Renault Megane RS - rear badge
  • Renault Megane RS - exhaust

    The exhaust notes are artificially enhanced, like most other hot hatches, with fake sounding pops on the overrun.
