New Megane 2022

[The Boosh!]

Apparently, concept = 95% of the final car.
R.S. version should be nippy, with the 'standard' car coming with 220hp.

So the Megane is becoming an suv then.

 

[The Boosh!]

No, don't think so. Dimensions (height & length) are the same as current Megane. Still a C-segment (Captur, Kadjar cover off SUV).

 

[R3k1355]

It's a mini-SUV, not cool.

 

[Ex-User (19928)]

Looks awful, give me a Renaultsport 275 any day. Just can't imagine a hot hatch sounding good ever again with all the s**t they have in the exhauts and ECUs these days.

 

[massiveCoRbyn]

Well that's awful. Not that the production car will look anything like that anyway.

 

[leeds_182]

How can they go from the current one looking so good to that monstrosity?

Progress I guess.

 

[197.]

Cool Evoque

 

[Clio_fool]

95% final? I doubt that. I remember how cool the Laguna Coupe concept looked, and how s**t the production version ended up.

 

[brisa4984]

26 inch rims

 

[botfch]

Reminds me of a tiny evoque.

 

[Crayola]

This forum loves a good Kadjar

 

[Daz.]

It will look 5% like that - they got it the wrong way round

 

[The Boosh!]

95% final? I doubt that.

Came straight out of the CEOs mouth so there will be some explaining to do if it looks completely different. Using a more recent example, remember the Alpine A110 concept looked a bit alien when revealed but the concept was basically the road car with small tweaks for EU regulations.

 

[nebraska182]

And this is why the R26 is ageing so well and starting to look quite unique...new cars are so ugly these days. I'll always prefer the sharp angles to all these bubble cars of today.

Yes he did say that towards the end. I bet the 5% they change is the body 🤣🤣.

 

[Christopher]

Hard pass on that.

Would rather suck off a dog than own that POS.

Nope!

 

[Clio_fool]

Nope!

Maybe if it was blue?

Drain pipe grey only!

 

[botfch]

So the Megane is now an SUV.

Sooner the govt started putting green taxes on all these suvs the better.

LOL

still the same

 

[BoatNonce]

What a disgusting fat heap of s**t.

But enough about me, the Megane looks absolutely awful, and in fact should just be renamed the Karen, because that’s exactly what they want from a car.

 

[Danith]

More Crossover shite

 

[Starlet_gt]

Why have they turned the Megane into an SUV!?!

 

[SC03OTT]

Because that’s what your average punter buys, like it or not.

 

[Crayola]

What a bag of shite

They've gone full 2001-2015 Peugeot and decided to make all their cars dull as dishwater

 

[Clio_fool]

The vanilla megane is a rare sight on our roads. This is aimed squarely at the cashcow c***s. Unfortunately I don't mind the looks of it 😂. I'll hold off for the Alpine 5 though.

 

[Gally]

The size is because of the batteries. Look at the polestar etc size.

Essentially everything is now the kadjar!

 

[R3k1355]

60kWh is never doing 300 miles. Peugeot have 50kWh in the 208 (and Corsa), real world is under 200 and thats in a smaller car.

Around 200 is more likely for the 60, range of the 40 will be a joke for a car of that size.

 

[MarcB]

Would rather spunk £4999 on a shitter of a rover than drive that.

What we need to remember is that Renault sport is no more -

"Renault Sport is no more. The team that over the years has given us some of the finest hot hatchbacks will henceforth be known as Alpine Cars, in recognition of its position within Renault’s newly established Alpine “Business Unit”.
On a practical level little will change – the 300-strong Renault Sport team still exists, only now it’s working under the Alpine umbrella. But it does appear that from now on, thanks to the name change, fast Renaults will wear Alpine badges instead of Renault Sport ones. No news on what that means for the existing Megane R.S….
The Alpine “Business Unit”, announced back in January, effectively combines Alpine, Renault Sport and Renault’s motorsport operation into one entity. The next-gen Alpine product it’s developing includes an electric hot hatch, an electric crossover, and, together with Lotus, an electric replacement for the A110.
Laurent Rossi, Alpine’s CEO, said: “As part of the reorganisation of the Renault Group by brand, it is essential that the various entities that make up the Business Unit bear the Alpine name and embody the values and ambitions of the brand. Alpine aims to be a premium sports brand at the forefront of innovation and technology. Alpine Cars with its expertise and experience in sports vehicles is a master card in achieving our goals.”

Hmmm! What size are Renault batteries...

 

[massiveCoRbyn]

I really don't understand all this sub-brand nonsense. Total waste of time and money. Does anyone care that a Leon Cupra is now a Cupra Leon, or that a Mégane Renault Sport will be an Alpine Mégane? I fully expect it will all be ditched in the future.

 

[Crayola]

Imagine what the looms and fuses would look like on those after 2 years

It won't be just a "i got water in my UCH, now the car doesn't start"

Itll be more like "water got into the main fuse and my car melted with my 3 kids inside"🤦‍♂️

 

[Jack!]

Crazy that a company with the heritage and history of Renault is now probably worse than Kia and Hyundai.

 

[Martin_172]

so the megane will be an SUV, the kajar will be an SUV, the Koleos will be an SUV, the Captur will be an SUV and the Arkana will be an SUV....

Tragic coming from the company that brought us this video

Crazy that they spent decades creating a properly decent in-house tuning division, one which had genuine respect worldwide. So willing to just piss it all up the wall in an instant.

Doing exactly what Mitsubishi did, make nothing but generic SUV's.

The same company thats now pulled out of the entire UK market cos no-one wants their f**king tripe.
