The first of the new model pipeline is likely to be a premium sedan based on the Megane hatchback. The model, slated for an India launch in 2017, will replace the Fluence sedan and is positioned between the Honda City and Civic.

The car looks absolutely brilliant [thumbsup] what are the official engine specs?
Power will come from a range of small turbocharged engines, with outputs ranging from 90 to 205 horsepower (67 - 153 kW). Three diesels with 90, 110 and 130 hp (67, 82 and 97 kW) are available, while the petrol range kicks off with 100 hp and 130 hp (75 and 97 kW) variants of Renault's TCe motor, with a 205 hp (153 kW) GT model sitting atop the tree.

Renault to evaluate Megane Sedan for India

n spite of the SUV bandwagon, we still have genuine car buyers who prefer a luxurious sedan over an SUV. Renault seems to be interested in this space and after the departure of the Fluence, Renault is evaluating if they can introduce the Megane sedan in the Indian market.

Based on the popular Megane hatchback, the Megane sedan was developed alongside the hatch and doesn’t come as an afterthought. At 4.63m in length, it competes with the entry-level D-segment cars like the Skoda Octavia, the Hyundai Elantra and the Toyota Corolla Altis. In its global annual report, Renault has stated that their strategy of introducing new products has worked in the subcontinent which indicated the likelihood of new cars coming to India.

The Megane Sedan comes with a 1.6-litre naturally petrol engine that develops 115bhp and a 1.2-litre turbo-petrol that develops 130bhp of power. It also get the 1.5-litre dCI engine in two states of tune, 90bhp and 110bhp setups, like we get in the Renault Duster in India.

Renault has already announced the Kaptur for India and we think they might also bring the Symbol to replace the ageing Scala in the C-segment. The introduction of the Megane Sedan would ideally strengthen their portfolio in the premium segments. If Renault decides to bring this car to India, we think it might happen in the latter half of 2018.
