Lovely...

"The Megane family is expanding with the introduction of a four-door version - the new Renault Megane Sedan. This model completes Renault's offering in the C-segment and strengthens the brand's position in markets where compact saloons remain the preferred choice amongst motorists looking for a comfortable and spacious vehicle that reflects their social status.

Manufactured at Renault's Bursa plant in Turkey and set to go on sale this autumn in nearly 30 countries, the new Megane Sedan contributes to the brand's global growth and the extension of its product range.

Based upon Renault's CMF C/D architecture, the new Renault Megane Sedan was conceived, designed and developed in tandem with the new Megane, launched at the beginning of 2016. This means it benefits from the same features, technology and engine variants as its five-door sibling, while adding record-breaking roominess for its class with generous space for its occupants and a boot volume of 550dm3 VDA.

Courtesy of its dynamic styling and its range of features from the next segment up, the new Renault Megane Sedan represents a genuine upmarket shift, which enables the brand's latest model to position itself as the new benchmark in the compact saloon category."

The only downside i see is that when they do decide to bring it to SA they will insist of using the 900 cc 66kW engine on it and sell it for a fortune....
 
The Fluence was in that segment as well. Was heavily based on the Gen 3 Megane.

Having said all that I don't have high hopes that the new Megane Sedan will hit SA in the short term.
 
Yeah. Like that. Meh, close enough...

And you can still park a bike next to that polo...
 
Yup not coming...

Renault in SA: what's coming (and what's not)...

We recently spent some time with Renault South Africa at the Paris Motor Show, and managed to find out about the French brand’s short-term plans for its local range.

So, what’s coming when? And which vehicles are not destined for local shores at all? Let’s dive in…

Facelifted Clio

The Clio range will receive a light facelift in mid-November, with the entry-level Blaze derivative set to fall away. Furthermore, an 88 kW manual variant will join the line-up (the outgoing range also features this 1,2-litre turbocharged engine, but it is mated exclusively to a six-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission).

New Clio RS

The facelifted RS models, meanwhile, are set to join the line-up in the first quarter of 2017, along with new GT-Line derivatives. The biggest news is that the Clio RS 220 Trophy (likely with Akrapovič exhaust as standard) has been confirmed for our market, boasting a little more oomph (162 kW plays 147 kW), an uprated chassis and a few other bits and bobs. Still no manual gearbox for the RS models, though…

Kwid, Duster and Sandero

The Renault Kwid is scheduled to arrive in local dealers in early November (sans ABS at first, unfortunately). And in the first quarter of 2017, we can expect the Duster to finally be offered with the automaker’s EDC dual-clutch transmission. The Sandero, meanwhile, is likely to receive its facelift early in 2017, too.

Koleos and others

The new Koleos SUV is said to be “under consideration” for the second half of 2017, while Renault SA says it currently has no plans to bring in the new Mégane Sedan. The latest versions of the Espace, Scenic and Talisman are also not destined for local shores.

The bakkies

The Alaskan pickup – which is based on the new Nissan Navara – is pencilled in for a 2018 introduction to SA’s competitive bakkie segment, while Renault says it “remains committed” to introducing the Duster-based Oroch bakkie, although timing depends on right-hand drive production volume.
