2019 Renault Megane Gets New Diesel Engine, Estate Limited Model

Three years after it went on sale, the fourth-gen Renault Megane has welcomed a new diesel engine. The 1.7-liter Blue dCi is available for the entire range and it’s offered alongside the Blue dCi 95 and Blue dCi 115 diesel burners.

The unit pushes out 150 PS (148 hp / 110 kW) and 340 Nm (251 lb-ft) of torque from 1,750 rpm. It’s matched to a 6-speed dual-clutch automatic gearbox allowing the hatchback to accelerate to 100 km/h (62 mph) in 9.3 seconds. The Estate is 0.2 seconds slower, but top speed is identical in both models: 205 km/h (127 mph).
