Common petrol engines include 1.6L (K4M) and 2.0L (M4R) naturally aspirated variants, and turbocharged versions like the 1.4 TCe (K4Jt) and 1.6 TCe (K4Mgt). Diesel options typically included 1.5L dCi (K9K) and 1.9L dCi (F9Q) or 2.0L dCi (M9R). Performance Performance Characteristics: Engine performance varied significantly by variant. For example, the 1.6L 16V (K4M) typically produced around 110 PS (81 kW), while the 2.0L 16V (M4R) offered approximately 140 PS (103 kW). Turbocharged variants and diesel engines provided increased torque and fuel efficiency. Fuel System Fuel Delivery: Features multi-point fuel injection (MPI) for petrol engines and common rail direct injection (CRDi) for diesel engines. The manual will detail fuel pressure specifications and injector testing procedures. Maintenance Timing Belt Chain: Many petrol engines utilize a timing belt (e.g., K4M, K4Jt), requiring periodic replacement. Diesel engines, particularly the K9K, often use a timing chain which is generally more durable but still subject to inspection. The manual will specify replacement intervals and procedures. 🔧 Transmission Standard Standard Transmission Type: Manual transmission (e.g., 5-speed and 6-speed gearboxes depending on engine) Optional Optional Transmission Type: Automatic transmission (e.g., 4-speed or CVT depending on engine and market) Features Transmission Fluid Type: Specific transmission fluid types (e.g., Renaultmatic D2 for older automatics, or specific gear oils for manuals) will be detailed, along with change intervals and capacity. 📐 Dimensions Exterior Body Styles: Hatchback (3-door and 5-door), Sport Tourer (estate/wagon), Coupe, and Sedan variants were produced. Dimensions vary by body style. Weights Curb Weight: Curb weight varies significantly based on engine, transmission, and body style, typically ranging from approximately 1250 kg to 1450 kg. 🛡️ Safety Features Ratings Euro Ncap Rating: The Renault Megane III received a 5-star Euro NCAP safety rating, indicating excellent protection for adult occupants, child occupants, and pedestrian safety, along with good safety assist features.
