Renault Megane 2016–2020 car dimensions: 4359 mm long, 1814 mm wide and 1447 mm high. Unladen weight is 1,205 kg. Braked towing is 1,300 kg.
Base Life trim has manual air conditioning, cruise control with speed limiter, and a basic radio with 4.2-inch display. Zen adds dual-zone automatic climate control, rear parking sensors, lane departure warning, traffic sign recognition, and a 7-inch touchscreen with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay. Intens and higher bring front sensors, reversing camera, active emergency braking, safe distance alert, Multi-Sense driving modes, ambient lighting, and an 8.7-inch portrait touchscreen. Blind spot warning and hands-free parking come in option packs on mid to high grades. The cabin uses soft-touch materials and dual-density foam seats for support.
Boot volume is 384 litres with seats up and expands to 1247 litres with the 60:40 split rear seats folded. The load area is square and practical for family use, though the high lip can make heavy items awkward to lift.
Braked towing capacity is typically 1300 kg across most engines and trims, rising to 1600 kg on some higher-output diesels. Unbraked towing starts at 640 kg and varies slightly by wheel size and engine up to around 750 kg. Payload is generally 640 kg or more depending on specification and kerb weight.
The hatch is suited to light work or leisure towing of small trailers. No heavy-duty cooling or reinforced suspension packages appear in standard published equipment lists for this generation.
The cabin has a cockpit feel with soft-touch materials, chrome details and dual-density foam seats that give good support. Acoustic glass, better seals and extra insulation cut road and wind noise. Multi-Sense lets you set ambient lighting colours plus driving modes that change steering and throttle feel. Higher grades add heated front seats and an optional panoramic roof.

Official service intervals are set at 18,000 miles or twelve months, whichever comes first. Regular health checks form part of the schedule at approved outlets.
The car earned a full five-star Euro NCAP score. Standard kit includes six airbags, electronic stability control, anti-lock brakes with brake assist, tyre-pressure monitoring, cruise control, speed limiter and ISOFIX mounts.
