雷诺梅甘娜的光环已经被很多竞争车型所掩盖,但雷诺希望能利用重新设计的新一代车型让其重新焕发光彩,新车预计将于2016年发布。据英国《Autocar》报道,2016款梅甘娜外观将更突出运动风格,其设计元素将取自Clio和Captur。该杂志称,预计新车将采用“新的家族前脸”,包括更细窄的格栅和更大的雷诺车标。雷诺英国公司产品经理Yann Le Graet拒绝透露具体规格,但证实“我们不会继续采用第二代梅甘娜的造型”。他表示:“低垂的车顶带给人不同于高尔夫的感受。这将使梅甘娜更具运动感和吸引力。”除了造型风格外,预计内饰质量也将进一步提升,将提供更大尺寸触控屏(高端车型配备的显示屏预计可达9英寸)。同时更多功能将集成到信息娱乐系统内,因此控制键数量将大幅减少。因此车厢内布局将更简洁,不过也可能会产生系统不够直观,易操控性差的缺陷。预计新车将与新款风景和Espace共享CMF C-D平台。
New Renault Megane coming in 2016, promises to be sportier
The Renault Mégane has been eclipsed by newer competitors but the company is hoping to shake things up when they introduce the redesigned model in 2016.
According to Autocar, the 2016 Mégane will have sportier styling that draws cues from the Clio and Captur. The magazine goes on to say we can expect the "new corporate face" with a slender grille and a large Renault logo.
Renault UK product manager Yann Le Graet declined to go into specifics but confirmed "We won’t be going back to the shape of the Mégane II." He went on to say "The low roof gives us something different from the [Volkswagen] Golf. It makes the Mégane more sporting, more appealing."
Besides being more stylish, we can expect a higher quality interior with a large touchscreen display that could be as large as 9-inches on higher end variants. The company could also eliminate a lot of switchgear by incorporating their functions into the infotainment system. This would create a cleaner cabin but it could come at a price if the system isn't intuitive and easy to operate.
There's no word on specifications but the company has already confirmed the model will ride on the CMF C-D platform which will also underpin the new Scenic and Espace.
