Renault Megane 2018 hatchback in-depth review | Mat Watson Reviews
Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары
Premium appeal is something mainstream manufacturers are increasingly gunning for and the new Renault Megane has smart styling that makes it look altogether more premium than the car it replaces. It features an advanced infotainment system and comes with a comfortable ride - get my verdict in this in-depth review.

Absolutely not.
Completely honestly it's based on your perspective I suppose. Pure black interior with different shades of black looks absolutely gorgeous to me and it's damn easy to maintain while the nice looking interiors on the first day (light ones) soil easily :(

That's why I always wear dark underpants, so you can't see when I've soiled them.
Just bought a 2018 Dynamique S Nav petrol auto. Very pleased with the car..traded my Guilietta 1.4 petrol turbo which I had for 4 years & loved it..just wanted something newer & not so hard riding. Also a car that looks good. Surprised how nippy it is & the auto box is fine! Very quiet & smooth. Yes, the steering could be sharper ( Guilietta was great) but with the state of the English roads & amount of traffic I personally don't find it a problem. It's easier to manouver in tight spots anyway! Interior is good enough..not bothered about rear seat room or boot space as its only my wife & I driving the car. The car is in a gorgeous kind of metallic airforce blue with 18" dark grey alloys. I reckon its the best looking hatchback out there at the moment! But..each to their own!
We used to own this car, sadly we crashed on ice 2 months ago.. I do recommend Megane, it is truly a beautiful and a comfortable car, that drives very well.. It does even get the sporty feel that other cars lack.. If you're considering Megane, I say go for it

I just picked up a low mileage GT wagon. I thought I'd made a poor choice straight after purchase as I was also looking at an mx5! But after a couple days I'm happy, it's a beautiful car, perfect for what we need also

Drove the Irish spec Megane GT line 1.6dci 130hp; not having driven a renault in years I actually thought the gear change was nice and sharp. The steering was also good, in sport mode felt weightier than the astra equivalent and the 1.6dci was a beautiful engine, especially over 2000rpm; a little tad of low down turbo lag but then pulls like a train and really quiet and smooth. I'd honestly consider it to buy if the price was right
Meg's full name is Megatron.
I quite like the portrait design of the touchscreen.
I still have my 2006 Megane, 2.0l petrol, and I wouldnt swap it for much on the new market. Probably the biggest difference is that mpg, 59 mpg on those roads is very impressive.
Amazing car. The styling is not over the top like Hyundais, it's a little more restrained but very detailed and sharp. Elegant and sporty Very good, probably the best looking car in its class.

I think Mat should start every video with a "this car looks like" segment! Loved it!
Interesting to see if the RS version is any good, shame about 5 doors only. Got my 275 Trophy for about 5.5k less thanks to Carwow :-)

Hey Mat, can we conserve you? So you never get old? Even for me as a German, you are doing a great job, you are presenting it in style and fun at the same time with the right information on the spot. Also I age wise, we are around the same and my fiancee whom does not has an interest in cars at all, likes your reviews and in deep reviews
It's already out in Portugal since January, and it's selling well
Excellent review as always. And now I want one.
The car is stunning on the outside to say the least and I never liked renaults in the past but loved the R26R, RS and cc.
I think it's the most stylish car in its class
Hey Matt and team, you have the best reviews ever! Sad its only for the UK, but I love them anyway! Now here is a tip which this video proves a lot better than any other... When you talk about the fuel economy you are doing that after all the testing, you have been flooring and throwing the car around and everything that is not really efficient... Maybe you should reset the trip computers and do some fuel efficient driving before giving out the mileage/economy... When you showed the driving whatever page of the onboard system it was only giving you 4x/100, I normally do 95/100 on a Renault system... So there is a lot of room to improve and it doesn't hurt the manufacturers who right now look like they lie all the time. In fact, my fuel economy is actually better than advertised for a Brazilian model Renault Sandero 1.6 15/15 (yes, it's sold as Dacia in some places).
Matt, loving the Groove Armada song on the stereo - same one used in the adverts for the MK2. Love finding these clever Easter eggs in your videos. Keep up the excellent work Matt!

5:28 That is only in the countries with the steering wheel in the right. My mother's Renault Megane has a big glove box because the fuses are in the left of the car, so, it's only in your country, in the rest that's not a problem
1.5DCi easily gets to 70mpg.. my wife averaged (inc the school run for 2 years) over 65mpg during the time she had a Mercdes CLA180D.. same 1.5Dci.
Can't wait for the RS version. That's gonna be a beast. 4 wheel steering, 300+ hp, the usual best-in-the-world FWD chassis that RS is known for, etc. I just hope they stick with a manual gearbox.

And how do you open the gas tank ? I tried to look in the manual and it pointed to a button that this Megane doesn't have!!!
Hi Matt, are this car's interior mood-light an expensive option?
i have been along life fan of Renault & often fed up with people bashing them but you did a nice review with out two much bashing thanks
That looks gorgeous
Beautiful car. Excellent brand 👌
Great review as always Matt. Will you be reviewing a Subaru Forester any time soon? Thanks. 😊
can you please make a review of an espace? i noticed u havent done it yet but i think u really should... bdw that was a great review. :)
Great review. I like his reviews a lot. I would have one question, though. How could you review a Renault Megane 2018 and post it in 2016? Is that the WOW factor from carwow? Top notch job with these reviews, mate!
Very well priced car, you can have the gt line package for a very reasonable price and looks stunning, not a fan of the front headlights though, waiting for the restyling and a more powerful diesel engine.
Hi Matt and Co... are Renault-Nissan planning on bringing out a phev version of the Megane or a similar platform stand alone phev? Would seem perfect for the typical European commuter especially with emmisions standards and cities looking to cut down on NOx emissions.
review on the renault cleo
How about GT version? It has 205 bhp motor from Clio RS, it should be a good car? Any downsides?
Mat spent about 2 seconds on 4 wheel steering?
what about renault clio?
do a rewiew with a renault clio 2017

I REALLY hope you make a review of the Renault Megane Sports Tourer (Estate) when it becomes available. The flaws with practicallity in the rear should be fixed on that model. I'm looking forward to it.
in australia, if you the gt line, you can get the colour matching interior as the colour of the exterior
Hey Matt, I would like you to please check out the Mégane RS EDC Cup and do an inspection on it.
best looking car in the c segment.
I have the renault clip dynamique 0.9 and is such a great car, really
Could you do one for the new renault clio?
The most beautiful hatchback categoric 👍
Har dere slutter med firkantete skruer så det gårann og skru på sjiten selv? Er dere ikke årets tryggeste bil i år?
I always liked the look of the previous Megane (especially the coupe and 265 variant) but that Meg Griffin comparison ruined it for me... Thanks Mat
Dear Matt, please review "Santa Fe 2017 sport"......I expect a positive response from you.... your car reviews are really awesome....👍👍👍........
Can't wait for the new RS, hope it's FWD to be the fastest one again :)
Would like a drive in one to compare to new focus or golf thinking of changing soon
regardless of price,what would be better the megane or the bmw 118i?

Better review than any French review. 👍🏻 And you are unbiased, contrary to French reviewer who are all about “Golf, Golf, Golf”, or Peugeot 308 🤣
Does this car and the Mercedes A Class share the same platform or chassis? I don’t know why but the body kind of resembles the Mercedes A class
Great review, wondering if these gave much bother with electrics etc?
The Renault Clio is #2 in Europe and Renault is 2nd bestseller in Europe in 2017. Clio easily outsells the polo and took lead of the segment ytd.Even scenic outsells touran. So even though vw s may be lovely cars others can outsell them due to usps.Not all vows are the best: evident in car sales stats 2017
the first facelift of the past gen was beautiful, really delicate, this one is a blown up more "modern" looking thing, i dont like it mazda 3 and giulietta still looking the best imo, new a class is good but not that good ps the volvo is cool too
when will you do a review about alfa romeo gulia?
Could you pls review the Talisman!? Thx
You can't get the engine sound app for the Megane IV.
video published 2016 but title says 2018
Hi..the music you use in the video is very intriguing..pls tell what song/ whatever it is..thanks
I’m thinking of buying this car as my first car (1.4 diesel 110 hp) what do you guys think? Is it a Good car for a beginner?
How do I make the engine sound like a sport engine, out of blue it came on when in sport mode and sounded good and since it’s never been back on?
You uploaded the video an hour earlier than carbuyer lol
Great review,very user-friendly oriented,but I must disagree with Math for "dull-interior" claim...I don't think its dull at all,everything else is OK with this review,especially the tablet-cartoon begining,hehehe

Is it worth buying now in 2021 for like 13500 euros, but 1.6dci model with 130 hp ?
@IaSaVedem
3 күн бұрын
Kinda late to answer, but I think 1.5dci is better due to better servicing options. 1.6 has chain transmission, so it's more expensive. The 1.5dci with classic belt can be changed easier at every 60-80k.

Is the Megane an upgrade from Clio?
Plllleeeeeeeease balance your sounds! The BGM sometimes comes on so loud and gives me a heart attack. Otherwise this is one of the best car channels out there
when carwow and car buyer upload the same car review 😂😂 I'll watch both 😃
Really stands out with good looking design, the older Megane (from 2010 or smth) was really bland and forgettable with diesel being only decent engine, with cheaper materials inside and also some weird choice of cloth lining that was magnet for dust, hair, gravel etc. This one however feels that it can really give a kick to those KIAś and Hyundais in terms of warranty, design and value for money. Because I think that a person who always favors Golf or Focus is going to buy a new model from the same line and those who are considering options are the ones who opted for Korean-Japanese brands lately.
Will you make review of estate?
Actually I'm impressed with this car but prefer the wago/estate. Have you done a video on one of them?
