Renault has given the Megane a mid-life refresh, introducing a plug-in hybrid engine, new infotainment system and enhanced driver assistance systems.

Visual changes include re-designed bumpers with new air deflectors to improve aerodynamics and new LED headlights.

The Megane’s revamped interior features a new 9.3-inch screen for the multimedia system and a 10-inch digital instrument cluster.

A new centre console provides improved ergonomics, while the cruise control switches have now been moved to the steering wheel.

Driver assistance systems such as adaptive cruise control and blind spot monitoring are now enhanced with a highway and traffic jam companion. This system can keep the car in-lane as well as brining it to a complete stop in traffic and subsequently pulling away once the car in front moves.

The E-Tech Plug-in hybrid pairs a 1.6-litre petrol engine with an electric motor to deliver 160hp, with CO2 emissions of 30g/km.

A 9.8kWh battery enables the car to run in full-electric mode for 30 miles.

Initially the E-Tech will only be available on the Megane Sport Tourer, but Renault says it will be offered on the hatchback version at a later date.

There is also a 140PS 1.3-litre TCe petrol engine and a 115PS Blue dCi diesel. Both are available with a six-speed manual or seven-speed automatic transmission.

Iconic and RS Line trims are offered. Specification includes LED headlights, front and rear parking sensors, keyless entry and a rear parking camera.

The RS Line adds sportier styling, 17-inch alloy wheels and the larger infotainment screen.
