City car test_ Renault Megane Coupe 1.9 dci

Some time ago we tested the more dynamic member of the Renault Megane family, namely the coupe, which was powered by a 1.9-liter dci turbodiesel engine with 130 'horses' (96 kW) and proved to be very lively. This vibrancy has in turn meant higher consumption in the urban cycle. Still, the Megane turned out to be nice...

Some time ago we tested the more dynamic member of the Renault Megane family, namely the coupe, which was powered by a 1.9-liter dci turbodiesel engine with 130 'horses' (96 kW) and proved to be very lively. This vibrancy has in turn meant higher consumption in the urban cycle. Still, the Megane proved to be a pleasant urban companion, except when parking was required, as the rear view was limited by the small rear window. Otherwise, the interior in some elements - for example, the central console with air conditioning and radio, the placement of the switch for activating the cruise control / speed limiter - resembles its bigger sister Laguna. Special praise must be given to the two-zone automatic air conditioning system, which, like the Lagoon, offers three modes of operation: normal, fast and gentle. The test Megane also had sports seats with good lateral grip and a leather-wrapped sports steering wheel. It should also be mentioned that access to the back seat, where the seating of taller people is slightly cramped, was easier in the test car thanks to the system easy entry. At the gas station, the automatic Formula 1-style fuel cap was welcome, and for larger purchases, the built-in comfort method of unlocking and locking with the help of a Renault card, which was always tucked away in the pocket, was perfect. What may have bothered us is the missing system that would automatically dim the digital speedometer at night or put it into night mode. So we had to do it ourselves with the help of the wheel to adjust the brightness of the interior lighting.
