Mégane Collection 2012 has undergone a number of styling changes compared to the model’s original lines which proved such a hit with customers. The front end has a more modern feel, while LED daytime running lights provide a distinctive new lighting signature. The bumper features a gloss black finish with chrome highlights, and the selection of wheels has been entirely revised. The sum of these modifications mirrors the attention that has been paid to quality, an area which Renault sees as a priority.

The sporting pedigree of the coupe version is further accentuated by the two vertical lines that pick out the surface of the logo on the hatch and which add a dynamic touch to the rounded forms of the rear. It is also equipped with an air diffuser situated beneath the bumper, while the hatch is topped by an aerodynamic lip spoiler.

Meanwhile, the cabin comes with new interior trims, including a two-tone leather/Alcantara pack available in a choice of three finishes (depending on market)  In addition, the Bose version is now an equipment level in its own right.
