According to the stereotypes that have developed in our country, French cars are unreliable. However, the hero of our today's material - Renault Megane III - proves that he is no worse than his competitors, "classmates"

“Renault Megane” has become closer to Russia (Megane 1.6) 
Test Drive
It differs from the previously debuted coupe not only in the body and less catchy design. The car received a softer suspension, a frost-resistant battery and a number of other technical nuances aimed at ensuring reliable operation in harsh Russian conditions.
Collective image (Megane Coupe 2.0 CVT)
Test Drive The third generation of the popular golf-class model launched an attack on the Russian market in a very original way. Unlike competitors, the French are trying to attract buyers not with a practical sedan or hatchback, but with a stylish three-door, or "Coupe", as Renault prefers to call it. Previously, such a version was not supplied to Russia.

Renault Megane is a car full of changes. While the first generation of the R19 was only rounded, the second generation shocked with its shapes. The third Megan is less avant-garde.
Since the late nineties, Renault has successfully maintained the image of all its models as reliable and well protected from corrosion. Megan of the third generation in this respect is impeccable, but not perfect. Opinions about him are quite contradictory. True, more often complaints can be heard only from those who bought a car without a service book or with twisted mileage.
Among the advantages - the highest score for crash tests. The experts were only concerned about the consequences of hitting a pedestrian. The latter suffered severe injuries to his legs and head. Due to the tightening of the rules for crash tests EuroNCAP Renault Megan in 2014 earned only three stars out of five possible.
Equipment
The vast majority of Renault Megane III is well equipped. All cars are equipped with air conditioning and power windows on the front doors. In Europe, five trim levels were provided: Generation, Authentique, Expression, Dynamique and Privilege.
The first option was created specifically for corporate garages. Unlike other versions, it uses an arrow speed indicator and a traditional key instead of a chip card. This variation is easily recognized by the black unpainted handles and exterior mirrors.
In Authentique, the mirrors are already painted in body color. When buying a car in the secondary market, it is better to pay attention to the Privilege trim levels (more comfortable, with sequential keyless entry, often with leather seat upholstery, fog lights are also available), Dynamique (sports version, aluminum exterior door handles) and Bose Edition (with Bose audio system). Limited editions are also worth a look, including the Tech Run (with TomTom navigation) and Robert Kubitz's sporty GT model.
It is worth noting that the maximum possible equipment was truly royal. It is comparable to the level of premium German competitors. For example, a rotary bi-xenon was installed for an additional fee. At that time, it was a real peak in lighting technology, as LED technology was just beginning to develop. Among the available options were: a panoramic roof and a navigation system.
If it is possible to choose a car with navigation, then it is better to prefer one that is equipped with a TomTom system. It is recognized by the SD card slot next to the display. The more advanced and expensive Carminat DVD is less common, and map updates for it were discontinued in 2012.
For the Russian market, 4 versions were offered: Authentique, Confort, Expression and Dynamique.
Chassis
The chassis of the third Renault Megane does not differ in endurance, but it is cheap to repair. The manufacturer used the McPherson system on the front axle, and a torsion beam on the rear axle. Typical malfunctions are wear of silent blocks of levers, bushings and stabilizer struts. Levers may require replacement after 60,000 km. Thrust bearing problems were more common with the previous generation model. Here it happens much less frequently. Sometimes let down and SHRUS.
The rear suspension is pretty solid. The only surprise is the cost of rear brake discs with integrated wheel bearings. For replacement, you will have to prepare about 12,000 rubles - for two disks.
Gasoline engines
Among the engines, the most reliable is the old and time-tested 1.6-liter 16-valve K4M gasoline engine. It has two versions - 106 and 114 hp. The fundamental difference is the absence of a gas distribution mechanism phase regulator in a less strong modification.
A characteristic drawback of a more powerful unit is the premature wear of this very phase regulator. Its resource is about 100,000 km, and the cost is 6,000 rubles. Mechanics recommend changing the phase regulator along with the timing belt for prevention purposes. Sometimes you have to deal with failed ignition coils. The rest of the engine is reliable and inexpensive to operate. It consumes no more than 11 l / 100 km.
The 2-liter aspirated developed by Nissan collects good reviews.
In Europe, the modification with 1.4 TSe was popular. This is a turbocharged H4J unit. He appeared under the hood of Renault Megan 3 in 2009. The motor has a distributed fuel injection and a chain-type timing drive. 1.4 TCe doesn't cause too many problems. It's surprisingly supple, but in active driving consumes over 11 liters per 100 km. During movement in a calm rhythm, the appetite drops to 7-8 liters.
In 2012, the 1.4 TCe was replaced by another turbo engine - 1.2 TCe (H5F). This unit received direct fuel injection and variable phases on the exhaust shafts. In the early years of production, the engine suffered from excessively high oil consumption. If there was a problem, the manufacturer changed the motor under warranty.
Another drawback is the difficulty of starting and unstable speed during engine warm-up at an air temperature of about zero. Presumably, the source of troubles is low-quality fuel. At least in Western Europe, this problem does not exist. In addition, at high mileage, deposits can build up on the intake valves and in the intake manifold.
The 2-liter gasoline turbo engine of the F4Rt series is quite reliable and hardy. It was intended for GT and RS versions. In quiet mode, the engine consumes about 10 liters, but with active driving - all 20.
Diesel engines
Diesel modifications are very popular in Europe. The most common is equipped with a 1.5-liter 1.5 dCi turbodiesel. Only 9 versions. All of them differ in performance (from 86 to 110 hp) and injection system. A huge plus is a fairly reliable particulate filter with a “fifth” fuel injector in the exhaust pipe. Therefore, the risk of oil dilution by diesel fuel is eliminated.
The engine stands out for its very low fuel consumption and good performance. There are quite a few owners who have driven more than 200,000 km without any comments. True, there are those who were forced to face the repair of the motor after 150,000 km due to premature wear of the liners. If you change the oil every 8-10 thousand km, then you will not see such problems.
1.6 dCi (R9M) replaced 1.9 dCi in 2012. A chain is used instead of a timing belt. A number of new technologies have also been applied here. From DLC (Diamond Like Carbon) surface treatment to a solution that eliminates swirl flaps. This is done due to the combined gas distribution mechanism, when both camshafts control the intake and exhaust valves. The circuit is implemented in the same way as in 2.0 dCi.
There are many versions in Europe with a 1.9 dCi turbodiesel - a rather controversial engine. Its longevity depends on the technical condition of a particular instance and on how often the oil was changed in it. There is also premature wear of the liners. Problems can be avoided by reducing the oil change interval. In Europe, it is astronomical 30,000 km.
The best in the diesel lineup is 2.0 dCi. Unlike the 1.5 dCi and 1.9 dCi, it has a timing chain drive and an impeccable reputation. However, sometimes the exhaust gas cleaning system delivers problems. The differential pressure sensor fails, or the flexible hose connecting to the sensor loses its tightness.
Service
Engines 1.2 TCe, 1.4 TCe, 2.0 16V, 1.6 dCi and 2.0 dCi have a timing chain drive. The remaining motors are equipped with a timing belt, with a replacement interval of 120,000 km or 5 years. Oil is recommended to be changed every 10,000 km. In this case, SAE 5W-30, ACEA A3 / B3 oils should be used, and in diesel engines with a particulate filter, only C3.
Transmission
The 114-horsepower version of the 1.6-liter gasoline aspirated relied on a 6-speed manual transmission TL4. Unlike the 5-mortar JH3 (for 106 hp), the TL4 offers more precise gear selection. True, on the highway it is of little use. Sixth gear has almost the same gear ratio as fifth. As a result, what is there, what is there, the engine develops quite high revolutions at high speed. TL4 also went to turbo engines 1.2 and 1.4 TCe.
The two-liter modification is equipped exclusively with a CVT (FK0) continuously variable transmission. The variator does not add to driving pleasure, and after 200,000 km it may require repair.
1.9 dCi was aggregated with a new 6-speed ND4 gearbox.
The 150 hp 2.0 dCi could alternatively be paired with an AJ0 automatic from Jatco. Other versions - with a return of 160 hp. - came with a manual gearbox PK4.
RK4 also relied on a 2-liter gasoline turbo engine. Three-shaft 6-speed mechanics is very reliable. It was designed to replace the capricious PK6 from Laguna II with 2.0dCi (M9R).
In 2010, an automated EDC dual clutch transmission was offered. In service practice, she received the designation DC4 or Getrag 6DCT250.
Body
The Megane body does not rust, but aesthetic defects may appear on the paintwork. Small bubbles are found near the thresholds - mainly under the rear doors. The imperfection of the paintwork is also revealed on the hood. In addition, the owners note that the varnish is very susceptible to scratches.
Before buying, you should carefully inspect the windshield. In some instances, it spontaneously cracks, but this is not a common occurrence. For replacing a windshield with a rain sensor in an official service, you will have to pay about 19,000 rubles, in an unofficial one - only about 8,000 rubles.
Among minor defects, one can note the ingress of water into the direction indicator located in the mirror. The owners point to another point - a drainage system under the windshield. When it becomes clogged with leaves and dirt, water can damage the wiper mechanism. Fortunately, it can usually be saved.
Interior
The interior of Renault Megane 3 is assembled with high quality, but the materials used are delicate and sensitive to rough contacts. Owners complain about the rapid wear of plastic and leather on the steering wheel after 80,000-100,000 km. Sometimes the creaking of the panels is annoying.
Electrical problems are encountered (for example, with a chip card reader), but much less frequently than in the previous generation model. Sometimes the climate control panel (backlight and buttons) is buggy, or the heater fan resistor fails. The air conditioner may fail due to a leaky condenser.
Problems with the operation of the rear lights arise due to poor contacts. A malfunction can also be caused by damage to the wiring in the protective corrugation between the trunk lid and the body. In this case, the tailgate lock also ceases to function normally.
Renault Megane Generation
Megane Generation appeared in 2010. It was assembled in Turkey, in Bursa and was intended exclusively for eastern markets. In Western Europe, this car was never sold.
The model was positioned as a cheaper modification of the Renault Megane, and therefore poorer. In fact, the Megane Generation is a completely different car. There are really many differences. This is a different rear bumper, and a spare wheel under the car, and not in a recess under the boot floor. In addition, Generation is 20mm taller and 7mm shorter.
Completely different and body production technology. Conventional spot welding was used here, and less high-strength steel was used. As a result, the car turned out to be 15-50 kg heavier than the original (depending on the installed engine). In service practice, Megane Generation is considered as a separate model, like Renault Fluence.
Technical differences are present in the chassis. There are no auxiliary aluminum stiffeners on the front axle, which absorb some of the energy in a frontal collision. At the rear, a torsion beam with trailing arms is used.
Since laser welding had to be dispensed with, and the proportion of high-strength steel was reduced, Renault was forced to refine the power structure of the body. As a result, the crossbar connecting the middle pillars of the body from above became 2 times thicker, and the rigidity of the pillars themselves and the partition of the engine compartment increased.
Conclusion
Renault Megane III is worthy of recommendations. If someone cites flaws in the quality of the finish, keep in mind that the car is quite cheap and costs less than, for example, a Honda Civic.

History of Renault Megane 3
2008 - presentation of the model. Initially only in 3d (coupe) and 5d versions, the so-called Phase 1. The car was equipped with 1.6 16V, 2.0 16V and 2.0T 16V gasoline engines (F4Rt, sometimes marked as TCe). Turbodiesels were also installed: 1.5 dCi and 1.9 dCi.
2009 - a station wagon (Grandtour) and a sedan (Fluence - in fact, this is a Samsung SM3 with a modified front end) appeared in the model range. Debuted versions with 1.4 TCe and new 2.0 dCi.
2010 - replenishment of the lineup with a "hot version" of Megane RS exclusively in a coupe body, with a 2-liter turbo engine and front-wheel drive. In December, 1.6 dCi (R9M) was replaced by 1.9 dCi (F9Q). 1.5 dCi has been modified to Euro 5 standards (diesel particulate filter with nozzle).
2011 - Completed the use of the 2.0 V16 engine with a CVT gearbox.
2012 - First upgrade - Phase 2. New front bumper and later versions LED daytime running lights. The 116 hp 1.2 TCe replaced the 1.4 TCe.
2013 - 1.2 TCe received a 130-horsepower modification. ESP was included in the basic list of all trim levels.
2014 - another restyling - Phase 3. The front end has been completely changed: other headlights and a bumper have been installed. Unfortunately bi-xenon is no longer available. A new R-Link interface has appeared in the cabin - a tablet with a touch screen.
2016 - generational change.
Typical problems and malfunctions
- windshield shatters when exposed to extreme temperatures. Most often, owners of heated garages face such a problem in winter;
- silent blocks of the front levers wear out quickly. Fortunately, replacement is cheap;
- there are problems with the electrician;
- the first diesel versions had problems with the particulate filter;
- delicate paintwork over time acquires chips and scratches;
- moisture getting into the trunk due to poor gaskets under the third brake light;
- failure of tire pressure sensors - cars of 2008-2010;
- malfunction of the electric steering wheel lock. You have to change the control lock;
- malfunctions of the electromechanical power steering. The reason is a short circuit in the power supply of the electric motor due to contact with the steering shaft;
- ESP indicator lights up due to a faulty brake pedal switch.

New Renault Megane 3 appeared on the European car market in the summer of 2014, a little later, the restyled 3rd generation Renault Megane began to be sold in Russia. Unfortunately, Megan in the station wagon never reached us, although it is in great demand in the EU. As power units, the Russians were offered only gasoline engines of various capacities. As for gearboxes, depending on the type of power unit, you can choose either a 5 or 6-speed manual or a stepless variator.
Restyled Megane 3 began to look better due to the reworking of the front end, especially the style of the foglights with daytime running lights. In addition, the headlights now have lenses that look more aggressive, and such optics shine better. In general, Megan's exterior has become more pleasant. The most interesting thing is that the manufacturer is now preparing a completely new 4th generation Megane, which should appear in Europe this year.

Inside the updated Megan There were no major changes for the 2015 model year. Pleasantly surprised by the R-Link multimedia system with a navigator, which is available only for a fee and in the most expensive configuration. Well, it is impossible not to note the bright white electronic dial on the dashboard. Otherwise, the interior of the French car remained the same.
Renault Megan 3 trunk photo
The trunk of the new Renault Megane 3 small, only 368 liters, but with the rear seats folded down, the volume increases to 1162 liters. Actually, you can’t expect more from a 5-door hatchback. It is worth noting that the spare wheel in the Russian version of the restyled Megan 2015 model year does not lie in a special niche in the luggage compartment, like most competitors, but is located outside, under the bottom of the trunk.
Specifications Renault Megane 3

A more powerful gasoline engine, with the same volume of 1.6 liters, has a fundamentally different design. Firstly, the cylinder block is already aluminum, and the 16-valve timing drive has a chain instead of a belt. Power 114 horsepower at 155 Nm of torque. In addition, this power unit is only combined with a continuously variable variator as a gearbox.
The most powerful 2 liter gasoline unit Renault Megane 3 power 137 HP (190 Nm) It also has 4 cylinders and 16 valves. This motor can be combined with both a 6-speed manual and a stepless variator. In any case, the engine range is quite decent.

As a result, a restyled Renault Megane 3 fully stuffed with options in 2015 can get a total price of more than a million rubles! Even in the summer of last year, such a nightmare could not have been dreamed of.
Today, the famous French automaker Renault is releasing the third generation Renault Megan 3 in a hatchback, technical specifications and reviews of them have won the hearts of millions of drivers around the world. The first model of the third generation was released in 2008 in France. Then a five-door hatchback was introduced, and a few years later, the French showed a three-door version. At the moment, all machines of this model are manufactured in Turkey, and it is from there that they are delivered throughout Europe. What characteristics is endowed with this car, and why is it better than the rest of the Renault lineup? These questions are often asked by drivers who want to buy a car of a famous brand.
Technical features of the car Megane 3
The main technical characteristics of Renault Megan 3 in a hatchback have positive reviews. All models supplied to the automotive markets of the CIS countries are equipped with three types of engines, namely:
- 1.5 DCI is a type of engine that develops one hundred and five horsepower. It has a thrust of 240 N.M. The diesel engine complies with European environmental standards, it has proven itself when it was installed on the Renault Duster crossover.
