Nowadays, If you do not want to spend a lot to have a good car in every way, from size equipment, from performance to performance or from security price, I recommend a family compact. There are many good from which to choose: Seat Leon, Opel Astra, Kia Cee’d, Peugeot 308 … although one of the best examples you’ll find in the new Renault Megane Sport Tourer.

On a 750 euro difference from the hatchback, to equal engine and equipment, the familiar version makes the Mégane in a much more complete car. This price difference can find it in other brands. What makes it different to the Renault Mégane compared to its competitors (Except for the Peugeot 308, which also changes) is that modifies the battle, lengthening four centimeters to favor the rear interior space and improving, almost without having sought, stability

Renault Mégane familyRenault Megane Sport Tourer: 535 liters of actual capacity

Compared to the familiar Renault Mégane previous generation, improves rear space wider (3 more cm, which come in handy for placing child seats) and 10 liters trunk over to the tray. If we compare the current model versus the five-door version, the gain is considerable longitudinal space, especially in trunk. For 750 euros mentioned desire 125 liters Boot loading up the tray and, if we decide to remove it, many more. It also provides solutions as to abate fully supported passenger, so that we can bring occasionally objects up to 2.7 meters long on the inside ..

Beyond all comparison, Renault Megane Sport Tourer the offers enough interior space to fit two child seats on the back or three adults can travel back relatively comfortable; the center will always uncomfortable, and 90 percent of the cars. Life on board is nice, with good front seats and all the multimedia and connectivity details that are demanded today. Still do not like the usability of the center screen, which lacks an evolution to be considered acceptable; works, yes, but do not see practice.

The gain in length results in a better performance. This was already one of the strengths of the new Mégane, improving in this release. With the BOSE finish our unit does not include the steering system on all four wheels, element highly recommended but not essential. There are comfort Suspensions and keeps a great balance with the effectiveness of the frame, which it is the highest in the segment and also varies according to the driving mode chosen. With the familiar diesel engine dCi 130 hp is no power left over to travel with the car loaded and the consumption is more than acceptable, enjoying an excellent mid-range.
