The Renault Megane IV Grandtour 1.3 TCe (160 Hp) FAP is a compact station wagon (estate) that was produced for a limited time in 2018. Part of the fourth generation of the Megane series, this model aimed to provide a practical and efficient option within the European market. While not directly sold in the United States, the Megane series has been a significant competitor in the European C-segment, known for its blend of style, technology, and affordability. The Grandtour body style, specifically, caters to buyers needing increased cargo capacity without sacrificing the driving experience of a hatchback.
Renault Megane IV Grandtour 1.3 TCe: An Overview
The Megane IV, launched in 2016, represented a significant step forward for Renault in terms of design and technology. The Grandtour variant, introduced alongside the hatchback, offered a more versatile option for families and those requiring additional space. The 1.3 TCe engine, a relatively new addition to the Megane lineup in 2018, focused on providing a balance between performance and fuel efficiency. The “FAP” designation indicates the inclusion of a particulate filter, a key component in meeting stringent Euro 6 emissions standards.
Engine & Performance
The Renault Megane IV Grandtour 1.3 TCe is powered by a 1.3-liter, inline-four cylinder turbocharged gasoline engine. This engine, designated H5H 470, produces 160 horsepower at 5500 rpm and 260 Nm (191.77 lb.-ft.) of torque at 1750 rpm. The turbocharger and intercooler work in tandem to enhance power output and responsiveness. Power delivery is managed through a six-speed manual transmission, directing power to the front wheels. Acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h (0-62 mph) takes 9.3 seconds, while 0-60 mph is achieved in approximately 8.8 seconds. The vehicle boasts a maximum speed of 205 km/h (127.38 mph). The engine’s design prioritizes efficiency, achieving a combined fuel consumption of 5.5 l/100 km (42.8 US mpg, 51.4 UK mpg), and emitting 125 g/km of CO2, adhering to Euro 6 emission standards.
Design & Features
The Megane IV Grandtour features a sleek, modern design typical of contemporary European station wagons. Its five-door body style provides easy access for passengers and cargo. The vehicle offers seating for five occupants. A key selling point of the Grandtour is its spacious cargo area, offering 507 liters (17.9 cu. ft.) of space with the rear seats up, and expanding to 1504 liters (53.11 cu. ft.) when the rear seats are folded down. The vehicle’s dimensions are 4626 mm (182.13 in.) in length, 1814 mm (71.42 in.) in width, and 1449 mm (57.05 in.) in height. Standard safety features include ABS (Anti-lock Braking System), and the vehicle utilizes an electric power steering system with a rack and pinion setup. The Megane IV also incorporates modern comfort and convenience features expected in its class, though specific trim levels and options varied by market.
