New engines for New Megane Hatchback and Coupe

Renault's new Megane Hatchback and Megane Coupe will be available with a new turbocharged petrol engine, as well as two new diesels.

The new inline-four TCe 130 1.4-litre petrol engine produces 130 hp and 190 Nm of torque. Fuel consumption, according to Renault, is 6.5 l/100km, or about 15.4 km/l. When paired with the new cars and a six-speed manual, it will accelerate them from 0-100 km/h in 9.6 seconds and on to a top speed of 200 km/h.

Renault claims that "reliability has been enhanced" by the fitment of a timing chain, while oil and oil filter-change intervals have been extended to every 30,000 km. The air filter and sparkplugs need replacing every 60,000 km and the accessory drive-belt, every 150,000 km.

Also new are the dCi 150 and dCi 160 diesel engines. Both are 2.0-litre engines. The dCi 150 produces a maximum of 150 hp while the dCi 160 gives out 160 hp. While both engines hit their maximum torque at 2,000 rpm, the dCi 160 produces 380 Nm - 20 Nm more than the dCi 150.
