Renault Megane 2.0 GT TCe 180 3dr (2010) CAR review

2.5

Jethro Bovingdon, 26 November 2010 09:24

This is the new Renault Megane GT. Think of it as an RS-lite. The chassis is still developed by Renaultsport but it’s tuned to be more relaxed than the full-on 250 and 250 Cup models. That anonymous Megane GT TCe 180 badge masks the fact that power still comes from a 2.0-litre turbocharged four-cylinder, but it’s optimised for torque rather than ...

Renault Fluence ZE electric car (2012) prototype review

Tim Pollard, 07 June 2010 16:26

Renault - and partner firm Nissan - are leading the charge into electric cars and we've just tested the first conventional EV from La Regie: the new 2012 Fluence ZE. Left hand drive models land from June 2011 and right hookers for the UK arrive on these shores in 2012. How much will Renault's Fluence ZE cost? It's not fixed ...

Renaultsport Megane 250 Cup (2009) CAR review

3.5

Ben Barry, 21 October 2009 09:37

It’s been a big year for hot hatches, with the Golf GTI, Focus RS and Scirocco R fighting it out to name but three. Renault’s last-gen Megane R26R is still a match for them all despite its age, and now the French hot hatch expert is piling on the pressure with this, the all-new Megane 250. What are the headline ...

Renault Megane Sport Tourer 2.0 dCi 160 (2009) CAR review

Stephen Worthy, 17 June 2009 15:00

For those drivers with 2.4 children and who refuse to be brow-beaten into buying an MPV, there remains the estate car. And while some people will see estates as about as cool as stonewashed jeans, companies like Renault and Vauxhall are pushing their new estates as ‘sport tourers’. But is the fifth model in the ever-expanding Renault Megane range good enough to ...

Renaultsport Megane R26R (2008) CAR review and video

Chris Chilton, 27 October 2008 11:00

Dreaming of a Porsche 911 GT3 RS but living with a hot hatch budget? Renault’s stripped-to-the-bones Megane R26R is the answer. Based on the acclaimed R26, the R version is the most extreme factory hatch since Renault’s own Clio V6. But instead of adding a big engine and more kilos, Renault has left the engine alone and cut out the ...

Renault Koleos Privilège dCi 175 (2008) CAR review

2.5

Christopher Hubbard, 02 May 2008 10:36

When the Renault Koleos was unveiled at the Geneva motor show the original press information claimed that this was an SUV that 'handles like a hatchback'. But those words have disappeared from the launch pack, where Renault instead cautiously claims it handles 'more like a saloon' than a traditional 4x4. Either way Renault has branded the Koleos a crossover, not one of 'em ...

Renault Laguna GT dCi 180 Sport Tourer (2008) CAR review

3.5

Ben Whitworth, 10 April 2008 16:43

When it arrived late last year we gave Renault’s Laguna a bit of a pasting for its dull looks and overall lack of appeal. There wasn't much wrong with its driving dynamics, and Renault’s claim for best-in-class refinement and quality didn't seem too wide of the mark, but it was sorely lacking in sparkle. The Sport Tourer estate went some ...

Renault Laguna Sport Tourer 2.0 dCi 175 Dynamique S (2008) CAR review

James Foxall, 15 January 2008 16:37

Renault’s new Laguna hasn’t impressed us yet. Purposively conservative looks, a slightly cramped interior, and a drive that can’t touch that of the Mondeo all count against it. But maybe the Sport Tourer (nee estate) can do better. It’s clearly a ‘lifestyle’ car with a steeply raked almost hatchback like rear window. But to these eyes it’s definitely smarter to ...

Renault Laguna Active (2007) Drive CAR review

4.5

Richard Aucock, 14 September 2007 10:50

What’s all this then? A Laguna with the agility of a Porsche Boxster. Through a slalom, it will turn in instantly, change direction with comparable speed – but not hint at the dreaded pendulum. Your hands will have steered just one, crisp input, and been met with firm, accurate response. How do we know? Renault laid on the comparison for ...
