Renault Mégane Coupe-Cabriolet is an absolute stunner

LOOK UP AND FEEL UP

Renault may be French, but this is a car made to warm every Aussie heart. The Mégane Coupé-Cabriolet is innovative, stylish and so much fun.

The key feature is the unique automatic convertible folding glass roof – another world first for Renault. No matter what the weather, when you’re in this car, you’ve always got a magnificent panoramic view of the great Aussie outdoors. Up is where you’ll look, and up is how you’ll feel. The look is all style. Smooth and sophisticated, the ultimate in cool. Inside, the seats, doors and steering wheel are all swathed in fine grain leather.

Of course, a car like this is made for cruising, so the Mégane Coupé-Cabriolet comes with a refined 2.0 litre 16-valve engine that provides effortless yet economical power, thanks to a Variable Valve Timing system.

It also has all the other performance features offered by the Mégane range, plus the full armoury of Mégane safety equipment. In fact, having been awarded a five-star safety rating by EuroNCAP, we can confidently say that the Mégane Coupé-Cabriolet is one of the safest convertibles ever built, especially now with Electronic Stability Program (ESP) and Anti Roll Bars in Phase 2 models. We also happen to think it’s one of the most exciting.

Version Overview
A powerful 2.0 litre 16-valve engine with 98 kilowatts, five-star EuroNCAP safety rating, ESP, fully integrated automatic roll bars, electric foldable glass roof, leather trimmed upholstery, large boot capacity, reversing sensors, 6-stack in dash-CD, Metallic Paint and a comprehensive range of standard Mégane features.
