Will The New Renault Megane Cabriolet Look Like This?

In all likelihood, it’s not a matter of if, but when the new Megane gets an open-top variant.

Joining the hatchback, estate and recently unveiled sedan, the convertible will feature a hard-top folding roof and the chassis will, inadvertently, be strengthened to offset the loss of rigidity compared to the fixed-top versions.

The engine lineup should comprise most, if not all, of the petrol and diesel units that power the rest of the Megane family, though an RS is off the table, as the convertible is comfort, and not performance, oriented.

Unless Renault surprises us with a Paris Show unveiling, we won’t see the convertible before first half of 2017. As for the design, this rendering, which in our opinion looks quite realistic, shows one possible direction the French could adopt.
