Used Renault Megane for sale

When crash-tested by Euro NCAP back in 2015 the Renault Megane scored the maximum safety rating of five stars. Standard equipment includes a full set of airbags at both front and rear and all cars get an electronic stability control system as standard. Some cars are also equipped with speed assistance and a lane assistance feature but as an option through extra ‘packs’.

The Megane is available with a 1.2-litre petrol engine which is well suited to around-town driving, while a larger 1.6-litre petrol is there for drivers who need a little extra punch. There’s also a 1.5-litre diesel there for those who want it alongside a bigger 1.6-litre diesel with a bit of extra performance. Both manual and automatic gearboxes are available on the Megane, too.

The Renault Megane comes well-equipped as standard with the most recent generation getting features such as cruise control, air conditioning and Bluetooth connectivity to help connect your smartphone to the car’s audio. Look out for Dynamique Nav models which get features such as keyless entry, a seven-inch touchscreen system and standard-fit satellite navigation.

It’s the diesel-powered Megane models which will return the best-possible efficiency, achieving up to 76.4mpg according to the older NEDC testing standard. However, even smaller petrol models are good in this respect and can return up to 52.3mpg. There is also the option of manual and automatic gearboxes across the Megane range.

The Megane is a popular option among families, so look out for scratched interior plastics and damaged upholstery on any used model that you’re looking at. In addition, we’d check the exterior scrapes and grazes which could occur in the school car park.
