The New MEGANE R.S.: the benchmark for sportiness

The sporty versions of Mégane, under the R.S. badge, have established themselves as the benchmark sports hatchbacks, notably the R.S. TROPHY-R, which in 2019 held a new lap record on the famous Nürburgring circuit.

For its renewal, the New Mégane R.S. adopts a range centred on a single 300hp (220kW) 1.8 turbo engine with direct injection, as on the TROPHY version. This engine, the result of Alliance synergies, is also featured on the Alpine A110. Torque also increases to 420 Nm (+30 Nm) with an EDC gearbox and 400 Nm with a manual gearbox. This gain in power translates into better acceleration, even at high revs, while the torque – one of the best in the category – brings renewed driving pleasure and enjoyment.

The Sport 4CONTROL chassis offers maximum agility on tight corners and stability on fast bends. A new R.S. Monitor displays numerous vehicle parameters in real time.

The New MEGANE R.S. Line: a new design signature

The R.S. Line design label makes its appearance in the Megane family, replacing the old GT Line. With more advanced and richer content, the R.S. Line represents more than just a name change. Its exterior design and interior take on a sportier look, to meet the expectations of the growing number of customers who want a strong differentiation through dynamic design.
