RENAULT is adding to the Megane range with the launch of a GT trim level to bridge the gap between regular models and the Renaultsport performance car.

Available in three and five-door hatchback bodystyles, the GT is available with a choice of two engines – a 2.0-litre turbo petrol offering 165bhp and a 2.0-litre dCi turbodiesel with 150bhp.

Both versions feature a body kit, lowered suspension, 17-inch alloy wheels and sports detailing inside.

Prices range from £16,170 to £17,670.
