Based on the existing 82bhp version, power is increased by 18bhp while torque is improved by 11lb-ft. Official figures for combined fuel consumption put the Megane at 62.8mpg with carbon dioxide emissions at 119g/km.
Prices for the uprated diesel engine start at £13,450 on-the-road for the Megane hatchback. Renault claims none of its immediate rivals can balance such low fuel consumption with a high power output.
