Renault Megane IV Grandtour 1.2 Energy TCe: An Overview

The Megane IV, launched in 2016, marked a significant departure from previous generations, adopting a more refined and modern aesthetic. The Grandtour variant, the station wagon version, extended the Megane’s practicality with a larger cargo area. The 1.2 Energy TCe engine, a turbocharged three-cylinder petrol (gasoline) engine, was a key component of Renault’s downsizing strategy, aiming to deliver acceptable performance with improved fuel economy. This particular configuration, producing 100 horsepower, was positioned as an entry-level option within the Megane IV Grandtour range.

Engine & Performance

The Renault Megane IV Grandtour 1.2 Energy TCe is powered by the H5F 408 engine, a 1.2-liter inline four-cylinder engine equipped with a turbocharger and direct fuel injection. This engine produces a maximum power output of 100 horsepower at 4500 rpm, and 175 Nm (129.07 lb.-ft.) of torque at 1500 rpm. The turbocharging system helps to deliver a relatively responsive driving experience, despite the engine’s small displacement. Power per liter is rated at 83.5 hp/l. The engine is transversely mounted at the front of the vehicle and drives the front wheels. Acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h (0-62 mph) takes 12.6 seconds, and it achieves a maximum speed of 182 km/h (113.09 mph). Fuel economy is rated at 5.4 l/100 km (43.6 US mpg) combined, with 6.7 l/100 km (35.1 US mpg) in urban conditions and 4.6 l/100 km (51.1 US mpg) on the extra-urban cycle. The vehicle meets Euro 6 emission standards.

Design & Features

The Megane IV Grandtour features a contemporary station wagon design, characterized by flowing lines and a sculpted profile. The vehicle offers seating for five passengers and has five doors. Key design elements include Renault’s signature lighting signature and a relatively long wheelbase of 2712 mm (106.77 in). The interior of the Megane IV Grandtour was designed with a focus on ergonomics and technology. Standard features typically included air conditioning, a touchscreen infotainment system, and various driver-assistance systems, such as ABS (Anti-lock Braking System). The Grandtour’s primary appeal lies in its spaciousness; it offers a minimum trunk (boot) capacity of 521 liters (18.4 cu. ft.), which expands to 1504 liters (53.11 cu. ft.) with the rear seats folded down. The vehicle’s kerb weight is 1291 kg (2846.17 lbs), with a maximum permissible weight of 1868 kg (4118.24 lbs).
