And under the boot floor there's more extra storage, plus a hinged section that flips up means you can separate the boot into two sections and stop things moving about.įor those sat in the back, the problem becomes one of rear legroom. The boot floor is in line with the rear bumper so there's no load lip to worry about - it means you can slide heavy items out rather then straining your back to lift them.

While the Megane's boot standard capacity of 580 litres may not be the biggest around (the Kia Ceed boasts 625 litres), the Renault has a few tricks up its sleeve to make that space useful.įor starters the load area has vertical sides with no intrusions, so it's easy to pack the boot full and know you are actually able to use that space. There are a few niggles, the infotainment system could be better while the high clutch pedal isn't great, but overall the Renault is a comfortable and easy to live with family hauler. Higher specification models also feature an attractive portrait-style touchscreen, and although it might not be the best in terms of functionality it feels like a classy addition to the cabin.

It’s true that there are some harder plastics lower down, but the dash and door tops have soft touch materials while the steering wheel and gear lever are a big step up in quality compared to the previous Megane. The quality of the interior is one of the Megane Sport Tourer’s best features.

The load length has been improved over the previous model however, and there is also a flip up section to prevent items falling over and rolling around in the back. That's not the biggest around, but it's very useable with no load lip and extra storage under the boot floor.

The TCe makes the most sense for the vast majority of drivers plus it is quiet and more than quick enough.īoot space remains the same as the old Megane estate at 580 litres.

In 2019, the Megane Sport Tourer range was simplified with just two engines now available - the TCe 140 or the dCi 115 - both with either a six-speed manual or six-speed EDC automatic. The diesels make sense for big mileage drivers and the 1.5-litre unit is impressively quiet as well as economical and was also available with the EDC automatic gearbox. The cheapest diesel was the 1.5-litre dCi 110. This gets a four-wheel steering system called 4Control, designed to make the car feel more agile, whether on a twisting road or in tight urban traffic. There were originally six engines in the range, starting with a 130PS 1.2 TCe petrol while the sporty GT version has 205PS from a 1.6-litre engine. Prices start from around £20,000 and even entry-level models at this price are well equipped, undercutting many of its key rivals and putting it in contention with brands that are considered more value propositions. It's a neatly designed wagon that's easy on the eye, but what stands out is its value for money.

And while it's true they're not as popular with UK buyers as they are in the rest of Europe, they're in demand enough that the likes of Volkswagen, Ford and Kia all sell an estate version of their family hatchbacks. In a world dominated by SUVs you'd be forgiven for thinking that smaller estates like the Megane Sport Tourer have had their day.
