Renault Megane

Features of the model

The model that replaced another popular car, Renault 19, became a successful combination of positive qualities characteristic of this French brand, which ensured its great demand in many countries of the world. Production was established both in Europe and in Turkey, as well as in South America. You could buy Renault Megane in the maximum number of body types for its class: from hatchbacks with three and five doors and compact sedans to station wagons and even convertibles.

Subcompact cars, equipped with in-line four-cylinder engines from 1.2 to 2.0 liters, had excellent economy, but at the same time had the so-called high-performance configuration RS (Renault Sport), accelerated to 225 hp, or GT Line, equipped with a sports suspension. Thanks to this, the model was widely used in motorsport, and also enjoys success among fans of supercharged cars.

However, used Renault Megane is more often bought as a family car. People are attracted by the original body design and rich interior equipment combined with low fuel consumption, especially in hybrid versions, excellent handling, constant availability of car spare parts and consumables in Ukraine.

The technical features of Megane can be considered LED lights, which have been used in the model since 2012, or hybrids based on diesel internal combustion engines. Of course, cars after 2015, when Renault Megane 4 went on sale, have the largest number of options. Among them:

• assistance system during the start on a climb;

• active cruise control with collision sensors;

• determination of the blind zone and the driver's assistant in the traffic lane;

• tire pressure sensors;

• multimedia with Bluetooth and USB;

• instrument panel with changeable font color and indicators.

How to buy a Renault Megane in Ukraine

On specialized aggregator sites and platforms with free ads, you can find many Renault Megane offers, the price of which can sometimes be very attractive. However, it is quite difficult to find a decent option among them. The reason for this is the state of our roads, low-quality fuel, and the previous owners' disregard of basic car maintenance rules.

Another problem is that people who unofficially earn money by reselling cars are often called "buyers". Their difference from official trade organizations is that they often misinform buyers for the sake of profit and do not bear responsibility for their actions, disappearing from sight immediately after completing the transaction.

The result of the actions of fraudsters can be:

• inconsistency of the car's technical condition with the declared one;

• twisted run;

• problems with documents;

• car being in search or loan databases;

• dashed body numbers.

Globally, this means losing a large amount of money, and sometimes a car.

Another option is to buy a car abroad, for example in the countries of the European Union. Its plus is that in European conditions, cars are stored better, have lower mileage and a transparent service history. The downside is that it is not easy to buy a car on your own in another country. This threatens the following problems:

• language barrier;

• pitfalls of local administration;

• problems with traveling abroad;

• queues for entry into Ukraine;

• complexity of calculating customs payments;

• problems with car certification.

All this can also lead to significant financial losses.
