In 1995, the Renault 19 was replaced by the Megane. Initially, the car was offered in only two body styles: a 5-door hatchback and a 3-door fastback coupe called the Coach. These two variants differ significantly in the design of the rear end of the body and the lamps with round diffusers for the coupe and ellipsoidal for the hatchback. The hatchback's luggage compartment capacity is from 350 to 1210 liters with the rear seat folded down, the coupe has only 290 liters. But the coupe's front seats are equipped with lateral support. The driver has the opportunity to adjust the seat not only in length and backrest angle, but also in height.
The line of power units was presented: 1.6 l / 75 hp, 1.6 l / 90 hp, 2.0 l / 114 hp, 2.0 l 16-valve / 150 hp. from., diesel 1.9 l / 64 hp, turbodiesel 1.9 l / 95 hp. The latter in May 1995 gave way to the newest DTi turbodiesel with direct fuel injection with a capacity of 98 hp. In addition to the usual 5-speed manual transmission, an electronically controlled 4-band automatic transmission was offered.
In 1996, a convertible was produced on the basis of the coupe.
In September 1996, the Scenic one-volume minivan debuted on the Megane platform.
In January 1997, a four-door sedan appears. Its dimensions: length 4400 mm, height 1420 mm. Luggage compartment 510 liters nominal and up to 1310 liters with the rear seat back folded down.
Front suspension - McPherson, rear - with four torsion-type rods. Two airbags and ABS are standard equipment.
The first generation of Megane was a great success. The car was in demand, and in 1997 it was even awarded the title "Most Popular Car in Europe".
In 1998, the Megane family of cars was updated. The body has acquired an even more streamlined shape, thanks to soft and smooth lines. The design turned out to be expressive and dynamic. The newly designed salon was equipped with the most modern equipment.
In 1999, the Megane family was replenished with another version, this time a station wagon, which began to be produced in Turkey. The exterior of the station wagon turned out to be balanced and harmonious, but not as extravagant as that of the hatchback. The station wagon in many respects repeats the sedan: an extended base, a similar range of engines, the same configurations. With its appearance, the Megane range of models covered almost all classes and became one of the most complete on the European market.
There are three trim levels for the Renault Megane - PTE, PXE and PXT. They differ in the number of installed equipment and interior trim. In the best configuration - full power accessories and four airbags. In general, the designers paid special attention to safety. It consists of two airbags for the driver and front passenger, side airbags for head and chest protection and three-point belts with tensioners. Powerful and reliable brakes with anti-lock wheel system (ABS) and electronic brake force distribution (EBV) are standard equipment.
Thus, for fans of sporty style and dynamism - a coupe, for those who want to combine good handling and capacity - a hatchback or a sedan, a station wagon will provide the maximum useful volume for loading. Attractiveness and elegance - a convertible.
In the fall of 2002, Renault presented the Megane II at the Paris Auto Show. A car with a strong personality and futuristic design. According to the plan of the French manufacturer, it should strengthen the popularity and position of Renault in the European automotive market.
The interior is ergonomic perfection. Everything is within reach, convenient and practical. The engine is started with the Start button. However, in order for the car to start, one more component is needed - a key card. The key is a card in the format of a business card or an ordinary bank card, only a little thicker, with buttons "Open", "Close" and "Climb into the trunk". Keys in the usual sense for Megane are not provided, but options are possible with cards.
Available in three trim levels: Pack, Comfort, Deluxe. With four trim levels: Authentique, Expression, Dynamique, Privilege.
Megane II is equipped with gasoline 16-valve engines: 1.4 l / 98 hp, 1.6 l / 115 hp, 2.0 l / 136 hp. and three turbodiesels with the Common Rail system: 1.5 liters (82 hp and 100 hp); 1.9 liters (120 hp). All engines are aggregated with five- and six-speed manual transmissions, and with 1.6- and 2-liter engines and a 1.5-liter diesel engine, you can order the Proactive "automatic".
The equipment of the car naturally differs depending on the configuration. With a gradual rise in price, there are body-colored power mirrors and exterior door handles, automatic windscreen wipers with rain sensor, an automatic sensor for outdoor lighting, air conditioning and 16-inch alloy wheels. Options include cruise control, bi-xenon headlights, climate control and a variety of music.
But the model with a sedan body in the Renault Megane II production range appeared only in October 2003. It is noteworthy that the sedan with the hatchback has 80% of the same components. Salon of the sedan repeats the hatchback one to one. The same dashboard, center console and soft plastic dashboard. But the U-shaped "handbrake" looks very original. The base of the sedan is 61 mm longer, which is directly reflected in the amount of free legroom for the rear passengers (231 mm - this figure puts the Megane in the lead in the class) and the size of the rear doors, which facilitate access to the interior. The increase in the rear overhang has led to an increase in the volume of the luggage compartment, which can now be loaded with 520 liters of cargo.
Responsible for passive safety: advanced ABS, EBV with emergency braking "assistant", two frontal, two side and two "curtain" airbags, belts with pretensioners and force limiters.
But if the sedan was presented in the range of the previous generation, then the coupe-convertible with a hard folding roof is a new type of car for Renault in principle. Megane SS turned out to be beautiful, bright and memorable. To raise or lower the top, you must press and hold the key between the front seats. Everything about everything takes 22 seconds.
The seating position is lower than that of the sedan, as the seat height has been reduced so that the driver can feel the road better. Renault representatives emphasize that in terms of the spaciousness of the rear sofa, their product is unmatched in the coupe-convertible market. Plus, excellent aerodynamics. The chassis is pretty rigid. The coupe-convertible has three engines. Namely, two gasoline with a volume of 1.6 l / 115 hp. and 2 l / 136 hp. plus a 1.9-liter turbo diesel 120 hp
In March 2004, the Renault Megane II Sport hatchback appears. A massive front bumper with a large air intake, bright fog lights, a rear spoiler, 18-inch alloy wheels with low-profile Continental Sport Contact 2 tires in 225/40 dimensions - all these are just some of the components of the dynamic appearance of the Megane II Sport.
Sports seats with the Renault Sport logo are extremely comfortable and moderately soft and provide decent comfort. They are equipped with all the necessary adjustments. The steering column is also adjustable for reach and tilt, which allows the driver to get an optimal comfort position. The instrument panel is framed with black "rings" in the corporate style of Renault Sport. Leather steering wheel with buttons for audio and cruise control has a comfortable "grip". But the center console is exactly the same as that of the "private" Megane.
The steering pedals are finished in aluminum. "Gas" and "Brake" are located close to each other and at the same height, and the short-stroke "clutch" is placed slightly to the left.
The driver and front passenger are separated by a massive central tunnel with a compartment for all sorts of things, in the center of which is the handle of a mechanical 6-speed gearbox.
Under the hood of the Megane Sport there is a gasoline 2.0 16V with an output of 225 hp. The turbine starts working as early as 1950 rpm, imparting explosive acceleration to the car. Moreover, the moment of pick-up is quite predictable, it is easy to control it. To accelerate to 100 km / h, the French car needs only 6.5 seconds.
The third generation Renault Megane in a five-door hatchback performance was presented in the fall of 2008 at the Paris Motor Show. The Renault Megane III coupe (three-door hatchback) and estate models saw the world at the 2009 Geneva Motor Show.
The third generation turned out to be not as extravagant as the previous one. If earlier the hatchback and coupe differed from each other in the shape of the side windows, now they are completely different cars. The hatchback embodies practicality, and the coupe, as it should be, selfishness, having lost in the rear view, ease of access and the volume of the luggage compartment.
Not a trace remained of the former chopped forms. Streamlined body, smooth lines, spectacular undershooting on the hood and front fenders. By the way, earlier the wings were plastic, but now they are steel. The coupe looks much more aggressive than its hatchback sibling. The three-door with a licked stern and silver inserts in the front bumper looks bright, dynamic and modern.
The dimensions of the cars are almost identical, differ only in height and are 4295 mm in length, 1808 mm in width, 1471 mm in height (the "height" of the hatchback, coupe is 4.8 cm lower), 2640 mm of wheelbase and 12 cm of ground clearance. That is, in relation to the previous generation, the car slightly increased its size. At the same time, the luggage compartment decreased slightly, 372 liters. the hatchback and 344 liters. in the coupe (folded rear seats increase the loading capacity to 1129 and 991 liters, respectively).
The station wagon version is as similar as possible in design to the hatchback, although it has a number of its own stylistic solutions. The length of the novelty is 263 mm longer than that of the "five-door" and is 4558 mm, and the wheelbase has "grown" by 62 mm and is equal to 2702 mm. Based on the increased wheelbase and rear end, special attention has been paid to maintaining a balance of dynamic proportions: the sloping roof, steeply sloping rear window and elongated side windows at the rear of the vehicle create an elegant, energetic profile.
The station wagon is ideal for a vacation with the whole family, because in addition to the spacious cabin, the luggage compartment also has impressive dimensions - 524 liters (with the rear seats folded down 1595 liters). Access to the luggage compartment is facilitated by a low sill: its height of 561 mm is the lowest in its segment. If necessary, the trunk of the Megane Estate can be divided into 2 separate zones: one large compartment and one smaller at the back, which makes it possible to adapt the space to the needs of the current time. Two additional storage compartments are provided under the floor.
Inside, the Megane III borrows all the best from the older models of the brand. The new design of the dashboard is reminiscent of Renault Laguna; higher quality materials have been used in the decoration. The hard plastic of the interior was replaced by soft materials - not only the front panel, but also the door upholstery. Handles and buttons have become more pleasant to the touch. The highlight of the interior of the third generation Megane is the original instrument architecture that combines functionality and beauty. A huge digital speedometer flaunts in the middle of the dashboard. The model got an electromechanical parking brake (it replaced the parking brake bracket in the Megane II). The seats can now be ordered not only with electric adjustments, but also with a "memory" of positions.
For Europe, an extensive line of gasoline (from 100 to 180 hp) and diesel (from 85 to 130 hp) engines is offered, but for Russia, only gasoline versions of 1.6 and 2 liters are provided. The hatchback relies on a 1.6-liter engine with 106 hp. with., aggregated with a 5-speed manual gearbox or 4-speed automatic gearbox. The coupe is equipped with 1.6 liter engines. (110 HP, 6-speed manual gearbox) and 2.0 liters. (143 HP, CVT variator).
The driving characteristics of the third generation, first of all, were positively reflected by the use of a new engine subframe, new settings for the electric power steering with improved feedback and a rear beam with programmable stiffness, which made it possible to abandon the rear stabilizer. In addition to all of the above, the Megane Coupe is equipped with stiffer springs and has an even lower ground clearance, which adds to the sharpness of control, and a more powerful engine provides a fairly dynamic start. On the positive side, Renault's traditional high smoothness should be attributed, which is really important in Russian conditions.
In March 2010, the presentation of the third generation Renault Megane CC took place at the Geneva Motor Show. Its main difference from competitors is a glass folding roof with an area of almost one square meter. A mechanism developed by the Karmann body shop allows the 110 kg roof to be folded down in just 21 seconds. Improved aerodynamics and sound insulation allow you to enjoy open-top riding up to a speed of 90 km / h.
With a length of 4.49 meters and a wheelbase of 2.61 meters, the Megane CC III convertible can accommodate four passengers in its cabin. The luggage compartment of the car has a volume of 417 liters with the roof up and 211 liters with the roof down.
Megane CC received six engine options: petrol 1.6 with 110 horsepower, 2.0 (140 hp) and 1.4 TCe (130 hp), turbo diesel 1.5 dCi (110 hp), 1.9 dCi (130 hp). s.) and 2.0 dCi (160 hp). The sports versions of the GT Line and GT are equipped with a 2.0 TCe with 180 horsepower. The engines are equipped with three types of gearboxes, the main of which is a 6-speed manual shift and two automatic ones, which are installed only on two types of engines: a robotic 6-six-speed gearbox with two clutches for a 1.5 dCi diesel engine and a CVT for a gasoline engine 2 , 0.
The convertible is produced at the French plant in the city of Douai, where the Scenic and Grand Scenic models are already being produced.
In 2012, a restyled Megane was presented, which received the official name "Collection 2012". The design changes are purely cosmetic. The external differences of this year's cars from previous models are the presence of daytime LED running lights on all versions. Also in the design of the car, chrome parts are used in large quantities.
The range of equipment Renault Megane 2012 was replenished with a night vision system with the function of auto-switching of low / high beam Visio, a rear view camera, as well as a control system for cars on the road - Hill Start Assist, which helps to comfortably get under way uphill. The cabin is equipped with an air pollution sensor that automatically starts the recirculation mode.
Over its long history, Renault Megane has changed, improved and replenished. The car is very popular. Many European drivers who prefer Megane value this car for such qualities as reliability, practicality and comfort.
Prices for Renault Megane II (2003-2009) were initially quite democratic. Add to them the avant-garde appearance for the early 2000s and good equipment - and here's the secret of its former popularity. In the secondary market, Megan is no less attractive, and it is getting cheaper pretty quickly. Maybe for a reason?
Europeans liked the extravagant hatchback, which in 2003, a year after its debut, became the European Car of the Year, and a year later took first place in sales in the "absolute". Our favorite is a more spacious and practical sedan (80% of sales), which was launched in 2004 in Bursa, Turkey. And all the station wagons (15% of sales) are assembled in Spain.
Any of the bodies, regardless of the type or place of production, is well protected from corrosion - the metal panels are galvanized, and the front fenders and the boot floor are made of polypropylene. But who is without sin? Rust can appear on the rear wheel arches with paint that has worn to metal - by the way, watch out for the intact anti-gravel stickers on the rear fenders, which are easily torn off by a strong jet of water during washing.
The salon does not look outdated even after the change of generations, but with age it “gets out” with creaks, and the VDO Dayton head unit for cars older than 2007 is prone to failures
Short chain mail - the limp carpet at every opportunity crawls out from under the overlays
Electric windows are not reliable, and the fabric of the door upholstery is not stain-resistant. The rubber-plastic coating of the inner door handles during intensive use begins to peel off after a couple of years

The cause of premature failure of the support bearings of the front struts is insufficient protection from dirt. The electric power steering (1700 euros) is not repairable and must be replaced in case of any malfunction
Automatic transmission DP0 is a real time bomb that can "jerk" through 60-80 thousand kilometers
There are no special complaints about manual transmissions, but be sure to check the condition of the oil seals and gaskets - so that they do not leak
When replacing a faulty phase shifter on gasoline engines of the K4M and F4R models, a new timing belt will be required.

Rubber glass seals peel off on their own, and in 2005 hatchbacks, the rear window may fly apart for no apparent reason - when buying, make sure that the former owner did not ignore the branded revocable company.
Sedans have an even more exotic problem - during severe frosts, their roof can swell! The peak of the epidemic happened in the harsh winter of 2006, and the fault was the thermal noise insulation firmly glued to the roof panel - shrinking from the cold, it pulled the metal along with it. Since 2007, mats from a different material have been used, and traces of roof repairs on older cars are not at all a sign of their accident rate in the past.
Renault is trying to position the Scenic compact van as an independent model, but technically it's the same Megane II.
The body of the SS coupe-cabriolet when driving on uneven roads perceptibly "plays", and the component parts of the folding rigid roof loosen over time
The sedan's wheelbase is 65 mm longer than that of the hatchback, but because of the sloping roof and piled up struts, it is less comfortable to sit in the back.
The fastest of the Megan's, the RS is "supercharged" to 224-230 hp. two-liter engine F4R, outwardly almost did not stand out
Five-door hatchbacks are rare on our roads, and three-door hatchbacks are utterly exotic.
The station wagon is built on the same long-wheelbase platform as the sedan. Due to the Spanish assembly, the new one cost 60 thousand rubles more, so it did not gain the same popularity

The electrician does not regret dampness: the contacts of the lamps are oxidized (in dorestyling sedans older than 2006, the diffuser is also melted from local overheating), xenon ignition units fail (200 euros each). Electric door glass drives are poorly protected from water (300 euros), and their control buttons do not shine with reliability even when dry.
The "climate" of the cabin is equally likely to go on strike due to a fan failure (250 euros), its control unit (180 euros), and after 100 thousand kilometers, even worse - because of a jammed air conditioner compressor (900 euros). In cars of the early years of production, it was often necessary to change the "head" of the standard audio system under warranty, in which the display did not go out when the ignition was turned off.
The main "consumables" in the front - levers and steering rods
The silent blocks of the rear suspension do not differ in special survivability, but they are located in plain sight - it is not difficult to control their condition

It can be easier to extinguish an illuminated airbag malfunction signal by inspecting the electrical connector under the driver's seat. Worse, if after 80-100 thousand kilometers the cause is a break in the wiring bus in the steering column - its harbingers will be clicks when you turn the steering wheel, and you will have to change the entire block of steering column switches (250 euros).
And do not be lazy at least once a year to clean the drain holes in front of the windshield (for this you will have to remove the windshield wiper leads and the protective plastic casing). Otherwise, you risk not only making a swamp in the cabin and spoiling the thermal insulation of the motor shield, but also unscheduled changing the "trapezium" of the wipers (400 euros complete with a motor): being drowned in the "pool" of the drainage tray, it will not last long.
They do not like dampness and numerous electrical wiring connectors under the hood - it is better to think twice before washing the engine. And it is advisable to treat individual ignition coils (45 euros each) even without washing with special grease at the point of contact with the candle - this is a chance to somehow extend their life. Where the coils are located and how to change them is probably known to every "meganovod" - this weakness was inherited from the machines of the first generation. Until 2006, only Sagem coils were installed on all gasoline Megans, which sometimes did not live up to 30-40 thousand kilometers. Then they began to put Beru or Denso reels on most of the machines - they last much longer.
If the engine does not want to start at all, the search for the culprit should start with the crankshaft and camshaft position sensors (30-40 euros). A more expensive source of trouble for the most common 1.6 engine (85% of cars on our market) and for a two-liter unit (6% of cars) is a variable valve timing system. Before the unit was modernized during restyling in 2006, the phase shifter in the gas distribution mechanism (500 euros) was meekly changed under warranty, which often became the first surprise for owners of very fresh cars with a mileage of only 20 thousand kilometers. At first, the mechanism quietly wedges, which complicates starting the motor in frost, and then loudly declares its fatigue (at first - only after a cold start) by "diesel" rattling - the sealing plates of the phase shifter rotor blades wear out and the retainer socket in the stator housing breaks.
Be careful - the low-lying plastic boot bottom is easy to split. On cars before 2006, the rear brakes were not equipped with mud guards, which leads to accelerated wear of the inner pads
In winter, the plastic flap of the gas tank often freezes, and an attempt to open it ends in a breakage of the retainer

Active drivers of cars with a brisk two-liter engine often finish off the rear support of the power unit after 30-40 thousand kilometers (with a 1.6 engine it usually lasts two to three times longer), and it makes sense to change the water pump to any of the units along with the timing belt every 60 thousand kilometers - it is unlikely to make it to the next one. By the way, do not be tempted to change the belt in "Uncle Vasya's garage": the pulleys on the crankshaft and camshafts sit without keys, and you need not only to correctly set the phases, but also to tighten the fastening bolts correctly - the consequences of turning the pulley are no better than when a belt breaks ...
Transmission problems? There are. Manual gearboxes - either six-speed gearboxes for two-liter cars, or "five-speed gearboxes" with less powerful motors - rarely fail by themselves. They can only be blamed for the lever stroke that was inaudible from birth and for oil seal leaks after 100 thousand kilometers (watch the oil level - otherwise the differential bearings will suffer). But jerks at the moment of closing the clutch discs often begin after some 10-15 thousand kilometers. The twitching is especially noticeable when the unit heats up in the heat or when driving in traffic jams - and it cannot be radically cured even by replacing the complete “basket” (250 euros).
But this is a saying. And a fairy tale - an adaptive "automatic" DP0 (cost 3500 euros), under the name AL4, bothered the owners of Peugeot and Citroen cars (AR No. 11 and 18, 2009). The unit, which debuted in 1999, has been improving all its life, but it has remained capricious. The box does not like to work in a cold state and is sensitive to the oil level (in the absence of a dipstick, it can only be checked on a lift). In the risk group, both oil seals and a torque converter (a bulkhead will cost 700-1000 euros), but most often - sometimes after 60-80 thousand kilometers - due to strong shocks during switching, you have to change the modulation valves or the entire valve body (200-450 euros ).
The metal of the body is reliably protected by galvanizing: the chip in the photo is more than a year old
The anti-gravel stickers on the rear fenders are weak. On the other hand, this car's sticker flew off completely
The plastic front fenders are light-bumping, but the bumper clips break off with ease

Weaknesses in the suspension are also known. Take at least the support bearings of the front struts (100 euros) - before the reinforcement of the structure in 2007, their warranty replacements due to tapping on irregularities happened even after 15-20 thousand kilometers. But when you hear a rattling in the steering column, do not rush to the service immediately - on every second car this is the norm: the steering shaft could reach the travel stop in new cars. The "rail" itself (600 euros) usually requires surgery with the replacement of a broken bushing no earlier than 70 thousand kilometers. As a rule, the steering tips hold the same amount, but the rods (40 euros each) have time to be updated a couple of times until then - that rare case when it makes sense to put on a more durable "non-original".
Silent blocks of McPherson front suspension levers could serve 120-150 thousand kilometers each, if they had not been consumed twice earlier together with levers (100 euros each) with worn-out non-removable ball bearings. Of course, non-original hinges can be bought separately, but how strong a lever with a bolted ball will be is an unanswered question.
Low-beam halogen lamps do not last long, but change Jesuitically - to the touch, through the hatches in the front wheel arches
Does the windshield fog up quickly and there is a lot of dirt under the hood? This means that the sound insulation of the motor shield has swollen and the seal has sagged. To clean the drain pipes, you will have to dismantle the wiper arms and the cover under the windshield. Short-lived ignition coils (they are of different brands on this engine) change easily - spare ones in the trunk will not interfere
Bushings and anti-roll bar bushings are surprisingly durable, giving no reason to remember them up to 110-130 thousand kilometers - the same number are, for example, front shock absorbers (90 euros). Rear shock absorbers working at a large angle (50 euros) are harder - they often give out their fatigue not by leaks, but by knocks before 100 thousand kilometers, and pay attention to the silent blocks of the rear beam (70 euros) after 100-120 thousand kilometers: if they creak - then torn.
You probably already understand why the Renault Megane II is becoming so seductively available at an age. But if the soul nevertheless asks for it, we advise you to pay attention to cars after restyling in 2006 (the French call them cars of the second phase) - many "childhood diseases" have been cured, and reliability raises fewer complaints. How tempting are the prices? Four to five-year-old cars with a 1.4 engine are estimated at 300-400 thousand rubles, with a 1.6-liter engine - at 330-450 thousand rubles - for example, Chevrolet Lacetti (AP No. 14-15, 2010) or Peugeot 307 (AR # 11, 2009), and more reliable peers Toyota Corolla or Mazda 3 are more expensive. And the most interesting offer is, of course, the two-liter Meganas: they are more expensive than only by 10-20 thousand rubles. And, of course, it is better to prefer "mechanics" - although you will have to get used to the jerky nature of the clutch.

My previous car was also Renault Megane II, but in a poor configuration Authentique, with a 1.4 engine and "mechanics". For five years from unscheduled replacements - only the ignition coils under warranty. That Megane conquered me with the convenience of the interior and the comfort of the suspension, so I changed it to a hatchback - also five years old, with the same mileage of 80 thousand kilometers, but in the Dynamique configuration, with a 1.6 engine and automatic transmission. I knew about the weakness of the box, but on this car the valve block has already been replaced under warranty. But on the phase regulator of the engine, I "got" - a few months after the purchase, replacing it with a belt and pump cost 15 thousand rubles, and then by acquaintance. Soon, on this engine, it was necessary to change half of the ignition coils (no longer under warranty, at 1000 rubles apiece). Further - steeper: due to the closure of the wiring rotted in the rear door, the fuse box first flew, and then the starter burned out (a tow truck and repairs with used spare parts cost 17 thousand rubles). And all this happened in a year and 15 thousand kilometers. In general, my next car is unlikely to be a Megane.

When buying a car, the technical parameters of the car are very important for every motorist. Buyers' opinions are unambiguous in their assessments about Renault Megan 2 - a decent vehicle that optimally combines price and performance characteristics, and technical characteristics are at the proper level. In this review, you can read both the reviews of the owners and see the analysis of the technical equipment of the car. All this may become necessary when choosing a car.
Renault Megane - how it all began
Renault Megan model was released back in 1995. The prototype was the Renault 19 design. Megan became the initial impetus for Renault's corporate identity and donated some of the elements for the Megane Scenic compact van. In 1999, it was completely restyled. Renault Megan 2 was produced in three body styles: sedan, station wagon and hatchback. The presentable exterior and excellent technical equipment led to an increase in demand for the model, the characteristics were very good.
The modified Megan car of 2005 was made on the basis of the Nissan C platform. It turned out to be quite unusual, was distinguished by a creative design, had strict body features that distinguished this brand, as well as excellent technical characteristics. Starting with the second generation of Meganes, the French carmaker Renault ushered in a new era. This version of the car won the European prize "best car of the year", thanks to what the car had characteristics. The lineup was also complemented by the convertible Renault Megane CC.
Specifications 2 version of Megan
In the period from 1999 to 2003 Renault Megan 2 passed under the conditional code "Phase1", and then - under the marking "Phase2". The second version received more improved security. A distinctive feature of the Renault Megane 2 Phase2 was a different interior concept and body structure.
This model range consisted of such modifications, on which one of two engine options can be installed - a gasoline engine with 16 valves or a diesel engine with 8 valves, the characteristics are as follows:
- gasoline internal combustion engines K4J, 1.4 liters in 98 horsepower. and K4J732 1.4 liters for 82 "horses".
- 115-horsepower engine type B (gasoline) K4M, volume - 1.4 liters.
- 135-horsepower motor type B F4R, 2 liters.
- gasoline F4R, displacement - 2 liters for 163 hp Turbo
- type B F4R, 2 l, 225 horsepower. Turbo rs
- diesel K9K of 1.4 liters, respectively, with a capacity of 86 hp. and 106 hp.
- diesel engine F9Q, 1.9 l for 115 and 130 hp
The second generation Renault Megane is a classic budget car with good technical potential. Especially popular are the sedan and hatchback versions, released in 2005 and 2008.
Platform, interior and car body
The car, released just in 2008, has significant qualitative differences from a number of analogues due to an excellent platform from Nissan, an excellent chassis that provides a soft ride and reliable noise insulation, despite 10 years from the date of production. Although the suspension is a little stiffer than desired, it is perfectly adapted for domestic road conditions and there is no discomfort. There is an opinion among drivers that the car has a small ground clearance and a harsh steering wheel, which is especially felt on bad roads. The ABS system has a positive effect on the stability of the car. This is more noticeable, of course, in rainy weather.
In the Renault Megan 2 cabin, there are several niches for storing "little things", upholstered in wear-resistant material with plastic elements, comfortable chairs with reliable lateral support are installed. For country trips, there is a spacious trunk.
The car in the sedan and hatchback body is suitable for both beginners and pros. For the first group, simplicity of functionality is important, and for experienced drivers, good performance and reliability, technical characteristics are preferable.
Many motorists agreed on the excellent operational parameters of the second generation of Meganov.
When to carry out maintenance
MOT must pass all Renault Megan 2 cars that have passed the age limit of 7 years. The service pays off, although it is not cheap. After diagnostics before purchasing, inspection and maintenance should be performed every 10,000-15,000 km.
According to reviews, motorists can expect to purchase the following components. After 20,000 km, new stabilizer rods are installed, the steering levers are changed every 35,000, the steering rack will serve 85,000, the ball ones cannot withstand more than 20,000. At the same time, the front struts, taking into account the front-wheel drive, can be replaced after 100,000-180000 km. These statistics for the replacement of consumables are average. Therefore, we can talk about a good motor resource of the second Megan. The service life of Renault Megane 2 can be extended if you use branded auto chemicals and undergo maintenance in a timely manner.
At the same time, the body structure of Renault Megan 2 creates a number of inconveniences during repair work, so beginners cannot do without a car service when performing this procedure. Renault Megane 2 has a special function - phase regulator. The breakdown of this spare part promises the owner of Megan a lot of trouble. The car stops starting normally. The installation of a new phase regulator is carried out only in a block with timing belt rollers.
Reviews speak in favor of normal handling of Renault, as well as with other cars. Timeliness in repair and correct operation is required.
If the service is performed by specialists, then the car confidently shows itself on the track, responsive to the driver's actions and unpretentious.
What configurations are presented on Renault Megan 2
Equipped with Renault Megan 2 at a good level. Although the car is more than 10 years old, it rightfully deserves respect because of the solid package of technical equipment and reliable mechanics, which is slightly better than the non-killable version at the VAZ.
Variations in the layout of this model:
- Authentique had a 1.4 liter engine (manual transmission) and a 1.6 liter engine for both manual transmission and automatic transmission. Versions: hatchback, station wagon and sedan, 6 AirBags (after 2002 - only two), the ability to install climate control.
- Authentique plus, a simplified version of the base model since 2006, body design - sedan, six airbags.
- The Expression was equipped with a 1.6-liter and 2-liter station wagon and hatchback, as well as a sedan. It had power windows, electronically adjustable mirrors, a split system.
- Privilege (1.6 and 2.0) in the form of only a sedan, the upholstery is made of leather inside, the handles are chrome-plated;
- Dynamique (1.6 and 2.0) only hatchback version, interior trim - leather, chrome handles
The following games were released in small numbers:
- Sportway based on Authentique in 2005 as a sedan, optional air conditioning;
- Extrem and Extrem II based on Expression released in 2007;
- in 2007 the layout of the Authentique was lightened;
- in 2008, the Comfort and Business variations were born.
Features of mechanics and machine
The Megane GT offers a lower power output than the standard version. In the case of buying a "stuffed" car, we can say with confidence that it has been tuned.
An external inspection shows the good condition of the engine compartment and chassis. This is a testament to regular and quality service.
Renault Megane 2 with a gun in the specified configuration options is suitable for beginners. It is quite unpretentious and reliable. Suitable for moderate driving with mixed driving style. The mechanics are more dynamic and suitable for experienced drivers and for those who like to carry out maintenance and repairs on their own. The model has a reliable engine starting system, a responsive gearbox, a responsive braking system, but not harsh. Good soundproofing of the cabin when the engine is running, even at 3000 rpm. The maximum acceleration speed on the mechanics is 210 km / h.
However, the transmission is not very convenient, especially for former Japanese car owners. Distributors say that a number of automatic machines came with a slight defect. Therefore, the manufacturer suggests replacing the automatic transmission with a manual transmission. The Megane 2 sedan with a manual transmission avoided these problems. The designers have added a good build to the excellent platform. A reliable "bortovik" was installed on this model from the first days of production. The number of controllers is also impressive. Even a rain indicator is installed. So all the technical characteristics are up to par.
Air conditioning and climate control
Megane 2, regardless of the body type, it can be a hatchback or a sedan, received an excellent air conditioner from the French automaker, which creates a favorable climate in the cabin even at an outboard temperature of + 40C. The split system must be regularly serviced and the corresponding channels must be cleaned, then all the technical characteristics inherent in the model will be serviceable for a long time. If you do not do this, then after a while you can get smudges in the cabin and possible short circuits in the wiring, which will cause expensive repairs.
Since the idea of creating Perpetuum Mobile has not yet been realized, the components will wear out. At the same time, despite the choice of the Megan option, you will still be satisfied.
The technical characteristics of Renault Megan 2 are one of the key points that ensure the popularity of this car, especially in the sedan body. We bring to your attention a summary table of the characteristics of the Renault Megane 2.
Renault Megane 2 is a pretty popular budget car. Particularly because of its low price. Although the exterior and interior design is not boring either. And along with outstanding technical characteristics, this makes it a very good option in the C-segment, of course, its competitiveness is great.
Megan body options 2
It is produced in hatchback (the most popular), sedan (no less popular) and station wagon bodies. It is worth noting that the technical characteristics of a car are directly proportional to the configuration. In principle, the same as a set of options. The comfort level of Renault Megan 2 is also at its best.
In general, this is a good car for the money.
