Last week I was fortunate enough to attend my first proper car launch with Renault. The car in question was the all-new Megane sedan, which replaces the outgoing Fluence. The Fluence has been on sale since 2009, and despite recieving a facelift in 2012, and further enhancements in 2015, so it was about time for its replacement. This new Megane sedan will be made in Turkey for global markets, unlike the Fluence, which was imported from Korea, for the MENA region, China as well as Mexico. Powered by Renault's 1.6L SCe 115 4-Cylinder engine, the new Megane sedan produces 115bhp @ 5,500rpm and 156nm of torque @ 4,000rpm.
