Building on the success of the original Mégane CC, the new model brings head-turning looks to the party, along with a significantly higher specification level.
There are also some extensive under-the-skin refinements.
The front end sports the new Mégane family's hallmark sweeping feature line across the bonnet, underscored by the same bumper as the Coupé version.
The redesigned, sculpted boot lid incorporates the upper part of the new rear light clusters, and two LED tail lights.
The car’s stand-out feature is its large folding glass roof, which has a total glazed area of almost one square metre.
Unique in this segment is a fixed glass wind deflector fitted as standard between the rear headrests.
This reduces wind noise and turbulence at up to 90 km/h with four occupants seated.
To optimise interior comfort, the tempered glass roof is treated to filter sunlight with a coefficient of 35.
The opening and closing of the two-part roof is controlled by a hydraulic mechanism.
The new Mégane CC boasts a stylish and sumptuously appointed cabin, with a strong emphasis on comfort and practicality.
Leather upholstery is standard, and the driver’s seat is electrically adjustable.
Designed to carry four people and their luggage, the New Mégane CC offers a conventionally proportioned, easy-to-access boot.
PERSONAL ITEMS
The boot now features a motorised closing system for effortless locking.
The nine litre glove compartment locks and unlocks at the same time as the doors to provide secure storage for personal items when the vehicle is parked with the roof open.
There is also an automatic parking brake, automatic dual-zone, three-mode climate control, and directional bi-Xenon headlamps.
Several other high end features are shared with the current Mégane range. This includes Carminat TomTom integrated navigation.
The new Mégane CC is available exclusively with the 1.4 TCe (Turbo Control efficiency) engine, as recently introduced to the Mégane range.
The new 1,4 litre turbo engine links superior efficiency and fuel economy to high specific output, plus low operating and maintenance costs.
It delivers 96 kW of power at 5 500 rpm, allied to 190 Nm of torque at a low 2 250 rpm.
Linked to a refined six-speed manual transmission, the Mégane CC 1.4 TCe achieves a combined-cycle consumption of just 7,3 l/100 km. The CO2 emissions rating is equally respectable at 169 g/km.
In the case of a roll-over, occupants are protected by a survival cell.
This is formed by the reinforced and rigid A-post/windscreen pillar assembly at the front, along with roll-over hoops at the rear.
Located just behind the rear headrests, the roll-over hoops deploy automatically should an imminent roll-over be detected.
In terms of active safety, the Mégane CC comes with a comprehensive range of driving aids, including ABS with electronic brake force distribution, emergency brake assist and Electronic Stability Control with understeer control.
Pricing: Mégane CC 1.4 TCe R359 900.
