Renault Megane GT

Extending the existing Megane lineup, Renault introduced the new GT model with upgraded styling, new features and enhanced power. The current Megane lineup already has four variants available, and the GT is the most expensive one out of all. Unlike most of the other Megane variants, which are offered as sedans, the GT is introduced as a hatchback. In terms of the exterior, the Megane GT proudly flaunts a sporty front grille and bumper, front C shape DRLs and full LED headlights. The Renault Sport and GT logo can be spotted on the front wings and at the back. Coming to the rear, the LED taillights with a unique 3D light pattern add to the looks. The 18-inches GT Magny-Cours alloy wheels make the GT stand out from the rest. Inside the cockpit, you will notice the use of sophisticated materials and high-quality finishes. The interior of the GT is a perfect combination of sportiness and style. You get a GT Nappa leather steering wheel, GT style alloy pedals and Renaults signature R-Link 2 system. The 8.7-inches touchscreen multimedia interface provides easy accessibility to a variety of features and supports Bluetooth, AUX, and USB connectivity. Other features on the GT include a multi-functional steering wheel with paddle shifters, dual-zone automatic air-conditioning system, Renault Smart Card, hands-free parking system with rear camera, easy park assist, rearview camera, electric parking brake, and Renault Sport mode switch button. Furthermore, the new Megane GT features a premium BOSE sound system with eight high-performance loudspeakers and a subwoofer installed in the boot.

Powering the Megane GT is a TCE 205 petrol engine which churns out max power of 205hp and a peak torque of 280Nm, mated to a 7-speed automatic transmission. The hot new hatch is swift and clocks 0-100kmph in just 7.1 seconds. Renault claims it consumes 6 litres of fuel to run 100kms. The French automaker has given significant consideration to driver comfort and convenience, for which it has added the multi-sense selector feature. It allows drivers to adjust engine performance, sound, steering and variable damping via four unique modes - Comfort, Normal, Sport and Personal. The Renault GT is the first vehicle in its segment to be fitted with the 4CONTROL 4- wheel drive chassis, which allows the rear-wheel steering to adapt to all types of driving conditions resulting in excellent control over the vehicle. The GT comes fitted with specific suspensions aided by GT tuning to absorb the road bumps. The 320mm dual discs at the front and 290mm dual discs at the rear do the braking on the GT. Safety features include front-side airbags, front and rear curtain airbags, ABS, emergency brake assist, Blind Spot Warning, and tyre pressure monitoring system. The car was awarded a 5 star rating in the EURONCAP test. The Megane GT starts retailing at AED 107,900 and is available in seven paint schemes - Mercury, Starry Black, Comet Grey, Flame Red, Pearl White, Steel Blue and Iron Blue. It primarily competes against the likes of the Mazda 3 Hatchback and the Ford Focus.
