The New Renault Megane Coupe-Cabriolet
As promised, Renault completes the process of the renewal of the Mégane family with the New Mégane Coupé-Cabriolet, so that now the New Mégane family comprises of six body types. Thanks to New Mégane Coupé-Cabriolet's length and wheelbase, the newcomer's silhouette is sleek and chic. It features the segment’s largest folding glass roof, with a total glazed area of almost one square metre.
The frontal styling features the New Mégane family's sweeping signature line across the bonnet and the same sports bumper design as the Coupé version, while the redesigned, sculpted boot-lid incorporates the upper part of the new rear light clusters. The two LED tail-light patterns create a smart and instantly recognisable rear lighting for New Mégane Coupé-Cabriolet.
The Mégane family held third place in its segment in Europe at the end of 2009, and enjoyed number one position in France. With sales totalling over 170,000 since the launch of the first-generation version, Mégane Coupé-Cabriolet accounts for four per cent of the Mégane family mix and, in 2009, continued to represent one sale in 10 in Western Europe's compact cabriolet segment.
New Mégane Coupé-Cabriolet builds on the strengths that helped forge the success of its predecessor. It brings original looks, plus a genuine sense of freedom thanks to its panoramic glass roof and the forward position of its windscreen.
The standard fixed glass wind deflector is unique in the segment and reduces wind noise and turbulence at up to 56mph with four occupants in the vehicle to maximise the pleasure of al fresco, open-top motoring.
New Mégane Coupé-Cabriolet is made at Renault's Douai plant, in northern France, alongside Scénic and Grand Scénic. It benefits from the significant production expertise gained by this factory since the launch of the first Mégane Cabriolet in 1997.
Renault Sport Technologies has helped create two new sporting versions of the New Mégane – GT and GT Line. Mégane GT and GT Line, unveiled at the Geneva Motorshow in March, are available across all of the Mégane family (Hatchback, Coupé, Sport Tourer, Coupé-Cabriolet) and go on sale in June. New Mégane Coupé-Cabriolet goes on sale in the UK in July.
