High-Performance Sports Wagon Lands in Japan for the First Time

In 2009, the "Renault Mégane" underwent a full model change, evolving into its third generation. Alongside the series' model change, the wagon body model also saw a complete transformation, becoming the "Estate."

The model showcased Renault's considerable ambition, offering a choice of eight diesel and six gasoline engines, totaling fourteen powertrain options for the European market. Regrettably, the release of the "Estate" in Japan was postponed at that time.

However, Renault Japon has now announced that the "Mégane Estate GT," the sportiest grade of the "Mégane Estate," will join the Japanese lineup in a limited run of just 60 units.

This "GT" model has been tuned by Renault Sport, the company's motorsport division, and features an engine producing 180ps and 300Nm of torque, along with a dedicated chassis. It stands as the most sporting variant within the "Mégane Estate" range.

Detailed specifications and pricing will be announced simultaneously in mid-July, alongside the new"Twingo Gordini Renault Sport"and"Mégane Renault Sport".
