Renault Megane RS 2014 - pictures

The Renault Megane RS is the hardened hot-hatch cousin of the Megane.

The RS is the base of a three-model lineup, with the increasingly track focused 275 Trophy and 275 Trophy-R above it.

The Megane RS features a slightly improved interior with figure-hugging sports seats and a larger infotainment screen.

Overall the Megane RS looks sporty but some of its detailing looks fussy.

Order the optional Ohlins dampers and ride comfort is drastically improved as is body control.

The Megane RS features a 2.0-litre turbocharged engine with a broad spread of power.

The Megane RS only achieves a claimed 34mpg.

The Megane RS holds a 5-star Euro NCAP crash test result.

The Megane's boot is relatively small, awkwardly shaped and with a high and narrow loading lip.
