Continues our long-term test of 100,000 km aboard the Renault Megane 1.6 dCi 130 hp. These are the most important data we have measured so far.

reached the 50,000 km initially provided, we make a Renault Mégane review of our long-term test, a version with 1.6 dCi diesel engine with 130 hp that in view of the results, we decided to go even a step further: our new goal is cover 100,000 km.

Have been 51 drivers different departments Motorpress Ibérica (administration to photography, through marketing or tests) which have been at the wheel of Mégane, most of them using their displacements expressways. So, motorways account for almost 80 percent of the kilometers, with what this means in relation to the average rate, which stands at around 90 km / h real. However, the actual average fuel consumption You recorded at the end of these lines was about deserving 5,2 l / 100 km.

Renault Mégane 1.6 dCi 130 hp: more than low consumption

Indeed, the Mégane 1.6 dCi consumption 130 has been one of the aspects most praised by many of their drivers. The lowest to date and in a single movement, has been of 4.4 l / 100 km: On a tour of interurban between the periphery and the city of Madrid.

Other highly valued aspect by those who have lived with this for a few days Renault Megane It was his obvious technological contribution, especially under the big screen that goes in the center of the dashboard. However, just as it has praised the preeminence of connectivity and the arrangement of functions or handling a very similar way to which can be found on a tablet often too many drivers have made mention of some complexity makes it difficult to find quickly when it is the first time you enter the car, certain controls; especially until the shortcuts or the possibilities offered by the operating system are known. Adaptation issue, ultimately.

Another aspect has been criticized visibility the interior mirror, palliated maneuvers by both parking sensors as the reversing camera. This precisely has been the only source of dysfunction we have detected so far: we occasionally noticed any appearance of “snow”, as it can bring interference, which disappears as suddenly as it comes during a maneuver.

The term “balance” has been the most frequently used in defining its dynamic behavior, an aspect in which the thrust of 1.6 dCi It has also convinced many drivers.

Renault 1.6 dCi 130 hp: your most important data

Coinciding with the passage of 50,000 km we made a making new features in order to compare them with those made with 7.559 km.

This new step by our Technical Center has allowed us cerficar, After more than 43,000 kilometers, benefits virtually unchanged. One example is that the difference between some accelerations there Barely a tenth of a second! So while the maximum divergence overtaking appears in 5th and it’s only 0.2 seconds!

There are major variations in other measurable aspects such as sonority wave braking. In both cases, presumably due to tire wear. Thus, as noise, there is now a decrease of 0.5 dBA to 120 km / h, while the increase at 50 and 80 km / h is, respectively, 1.5 and 1.7 dBA. Refering to braking, has increased from 1.7 m distance a0 120 km. In all cases, hardly noticeable differences that they manifest the good form of this Mégane records.

Most notable has been the decline in the consumptions. So while on the road we found a reduction of 0.4 l / 100 km regarding the first data; at City spending a recessed quite sensitive to down is reflected from 5,6 l / 100 km to the 5.1 liters. In both cases of roughly one tremendous reduction of 10 percent.
