Renault Megane Engines and Transmissions

Renault Megane engine choices include gasoline and diesel options, with transmissions varying by version. Selected examples include the gasoline Cabrio 1.6 MT and 2.0 MT with manual gearboxes, and the diesel Hatchback 5-door 1.9 AT with an automatic. All three drive the front wheels; choosing an automatic saves you repeated clutch operation and gear changes in traffic.
