New Renault Megane combines sport and comfort
2015-03-05Staff Report 2 "WINDHOEK – Sporty and muscular yet sleek and refined, the three-door New Mégane RS 265 LUX's visual signature is enforced by the F1-styled blade insert in the front bumper and daytime running LED integrated into the lower segment. With its optimised Renault Sport engine, the 265 offers high performance coupled with Intelligent Technology. In the rear, the centre-mounted exhaust with chrome-detailed tailpiece is a fully integrated part of the diffuser. Like the aerodynamic F1-styled splitter in the front bumper, the rear diffuser and lip spoiler are hallmark features across the RS line-up and serve as reminders of Renault's Formula 1 prowess. Stylish 18"" anthracite grey RS alloys complete the picture. Like its predecessor, the New Mégane RS 265 LUX marries sport and comfort, two quintessential components of every Renault Sport road car that afford true motoring pleasure and the ultimate driving experience. High quality and refinement is evident in every detail of the cabin's design, styling and ergonomics as demonstrated by the RS clusters and logo on the dashboard and the stitching which is centre positioned on the steering wheel. The fitment of drilled aluminium sports pedals and RS door sills enhance the fine detailing. With its high level of comfort, the New Mégane RS 265 LUX is perfectly adapted to daily use. The RS leather seats - electrically adjustable and heated - afford exceptional lumbar support and comfort, more important than ever for when the extreme driving bug bites!

In tandem with a six-speed gearbox, the powerplant delivers exceptional performance: a 0 to 100kpm sprint clocks up just six seconds while top speed is a remarkable 250kph. With performance pegged at the top of its category, fuel economy still remains optimised.
