2017 Renault Megane Sedan & Wagon First Drive | More Space And More Grace To Round-Out The Megane Range
While Australia’s small car market may be dominated by hatchback sales, wagons and sedan still contribute significant numbers, despite numerous manufacturers bypassing at least one, if not both, of the alternate body-styles.
Renault has taken its time, but although months have elapsed since the Megane hatch range went on sale, the supporting sedan and wagon have finally arrived, creating a range with something for everyone.
While small wagons are still rare the Megane joins the recently refreshed Golf as the only small load-luggers for the moment, unless you count the wagon-ish Skoda rapid, with Holden set to add an Astra wagon to its range soon. Sedans are far more common, with most, but not all competitors playing the four-door game.
