The three and five door hatch models were launched in the UK in summer 2002 with the Coupe Cabriolet, Sport Tourer estate and Sport Saloon being launched at the tail end of 2003. Older customers may have baulked at the radical design but Renault was keen to mop up a whole wave of younger buyers who'd previously eschewed the Megane as something your grandfather might have a soft spot for. We were just becoming accustomed to the rather pert posterior of the Clio when Renault unleashed the bustle-backed Megane II, a car with a profile quite unlike anything seen to date. The Megane II came as a bit of a shock to many largely because its predecessor seemed to have been around forever, morphing gently from the Renault 19 into the Megane. Models Covered: 3/5dr hatchback, 5DR sport tourer ESTATE, 4dr saloon, 2dr coupe cabriolet: 1.4, 1.6, 2.0, 2.0T PETROL, 1.5, 1.9, 2.0 DIESEL History With used models now starting to appear in meaningful numbers, the Megane II represents a very tempting proposition. Aside from the original three and five door hatches, there was a compact estate, a neat saloon and the sleek Coupe Cabriolet as well as the Scenic and Grand Scenic variants that are covered separately. It rapidly spawned a huge number of variants. As adventurous as its predecessor was staid, the Megane II range suddenly put the mid range Renault on the shortlists of many younger buyers who would never have countenanced the ageing and rather frumpy original.
