The End of the Combustion Megane in Europe
A Renault ended production of the line Megane with a combustion engine in Europe, after 29 years of presence on the Old Continent. The model left the production lines and the brand's configurator in some markets, such as Italy, while in France, the hatch and station wagon are still on sale alongside the new Capture and the crossover Megane E-Tech powered by batteries.
Farewell to the Megane in Europe
Why did the Megane discontinued?
With anti-pollution and anti-noise laws increasingly strict in Europe, the Megane model, dating from 2016, did not resist the need for electrification. Furthermore, consumers' preference for SUVs also influenced the end of Megane production. With the entry into force of a new regulation on safety on board in July, the model became obsolete.
The Trajectory of the Megane in Brazil
The Renault Megane arrived in Brazil in 1999, imported from Argentina, and won over consumers with its hatch and sedan versions. Over the years, the model underwent restyling and gained new engines. In 2010, the Megane sedan was discontinued, followed by the Grand Tour station wagon in 2012, to make room for the new Renault Duster.
Megane's Success in Brazil
In Brazil, the Megane was successful with its hatch and sedan options, offering powerful engines and modern design. Production of the second generation of the Megane began in São José dos Pinhais and brought models with advanced technology and distinctive design, such as the Grand Tour station wagon. The highlight was the card-shaped key, something innovative at the time.
