Built at the Palencia plant in Spain alongside Kadjar, the Mégane Sport Tourer uses the Renault-Nissan Alliance’s new Common Module Family (CMF) architecture, also used on the All-New Mégane, Kadjar, Espace and Talisman. The platform allows a wide range of cars of different sizes to be created using a variety of modules consisting of out-of-view parts, and is based around five available modules: cockpit, engine bay, front underbody, rear underbody and electronic architecture.

At launch there is a choice of four engines on offer of which two are diesels. The turbodiesel options are a 1.5-litre dCi 110 unit, with manual or EDC transmission, or a 1.6-litre dCi 130 engine.

A six-speed Efficient Dual Clutch (EDC) automatic gearbox is available with the dCi 110 engine. The dCi 110 EDC automatic provides emissions as low as 98 g/km of CO2, compared to 96 g/km of CO2 for the manual version.

The Mégane Sport Tourer is available with fuel economy of up to 76.4mpg (NEDC Combined), with CO2 emissions as low as 96g/km. This is thanks to the sleek shape and low weight of the car, weighing from 1,340kg (TCe 130 petrol versions); the engine’s Stop&Start system, which is standard on all manual models; the availability of a dual-clutch EDC transmission; an economical driving mode which optimises the engine’s performance when cruising; the Renault Driving eco2 feature to help owners adopt a more economical driving style and standard brake energy recovery.

In 2017, two further engine options will be available. The Hybrid Assist is a 1.5-litre dCi unit with electric assistance. The initially petrol-only GT offering will be enhanced with the arrival of a dCi 165 1.6-litre twin-turbo unit.
