A fairly large number of cars are represented on the Russian market in the C segment. But, most of all, the model stands out against their background - Renault Megane... Since the release of the first generation, this car has been a representative of the golf class. He has survived not a single regeneration and today buyers have the opportunity to purchase a third-generation Renault Megan car in a hatchback body. The manufacturer experimented a lot and produced a variety of versions of this car (3-door Renault Megan, 5-door Renault Megan Sport, station wagon, Renault Megan Convertible).

Today, many owners and fans of the brand are interested in where Renault Megan is assembled for the Russian market? The first generation of this car model appeared on the domestic market in 1996, then it replaced the Renault 19 car. Since that time, the car has gone through three restyling, and where it just was not produced. Renault Megan of the first generation was a "purebred" French, as it was supplied from the north of France (Douai plant). In addition, the first Megan was collected for other markets in Spain (Palencia city). The second generation of the model was released in 2002. The updated "Frenchman" was collected in three countries at once:

  • Turkey produced a sedan
  • Spain produced a station wagon
  • France produced a hatchback.

After a short time, a Renault Megan plant was opened in Turkey (Oyak-Renault plant, Bursa city). From that time to 2011, a Turkish-made hatchback was sold on the Russian market. This model cars of the third generation were also assembled in Turkey and in Russia at the Avtoframos enterprise in the period from 2010 to 2013. But, last year, after the release of the modernized Megan model, production was resumed at this very plant near Moscow, where the "Frenchman" is being produced to this day.

Which countries are producing other Renault models?

Where Renault Megane is made for Russian market, we have already figured it out. Now let's talk about other countries that manufacture Renault cars. A subsidiary company Renault-Russia (Avtoframos) has been operating in our country since 1998. The assembly of several car models at once is established here. Also, cars of the French concern are produced by another domestic enterprise - "AvtoVAZ". In addition to the Russian Federation, cars of this brand are assembled in the following countries:

  • Romania (the cars assembled here are sent to the European market, and partly to the Russian);
  • India (Renault is produced here for domestic market as well as for Africa and Asia);
  • Russia (Auto VAZ and Avtoframos - they produce cars for the domestic market);
  • Brazil (produces cars for the domestic market, cars of this assembly are not transported to Russia);
  • Spain (Valencia city).

Our domestic enterprise produces Renault Megane with gasoline 1.6 liter engine. Power point works with a pair, both with a mechanical and automatic gearbox. But, buyers can purchase this model with a 2.0-liter Turkish-built engine.

Russian Renault Megan

To our fans official dealers can offer this car model in six trim levels. The basic version of the car with a 1.6-liter engine will cost 569,000 rubles. Where Renault Megan is produced, they know about the peculiarities of our roads and climate. Therefore, during the assembly process, all factors are taken into account that allow us to produce machines that are most suitable for operation in our harsh conditions. For 784,000 rubles, the buyer will receive a fully equipped car with everything necessary. Our compatriots will be able to purchase a model with a 2.0-liter unit. This version of the car is assembled by Turkey, and only in two trim levels.

The Russian Renault Megane is slightly different from its European counterpart. The car began to weigh less - by 8 kilograms, and became longer by eight centimeters. Volume luggage compartment increased by 75 liters. The wheelbase of the domestic "Frenchman" is 2641 mm. An interesting fact is that Megan will be available only to our customers in the colors "gray plate" and "blue mineral". If we consider the technical side of the European and Russian versions of the car, then they are almost identical. The transmission and suspension design remain unchanged. The hatchback interior will delight you. Everything here is done at the highest level, there is nothing superfluous. Our engineers installed a good dashboard and used High Quality materials. For the European market, the model is offered with a larger number of power units than for the Russian Federation.

Renault Megane for Europe is equipped with both gasoline (from 100 to 180 hp) and diesel (from 85 to 130 hp) engines. Throughout its history of existence, this model has gone through a lot (changes, improvements, replenishments). But, it was worth it, today this car is preferred in most countries of the world for its good value for money, as well as for excellent driving characteristics.

The Renault Megane was put into series production in 1995. This model replaced, while the design of the "Megan" was created using the components and assemblies of the predecessor. The choice of bodies was very wide: three- and five-door hatchback, sedan, station wagon, coupe, etc. And in 1996, the founder of the European compact van Megane Scenic appeared, which later became simply "".

The Renault Megane was equipped with 1.4, 1.6, 1.8 and 2.0 gasoline engines with a capacity of 70 to 150 liters. with. The diesel version was equipped with a 1.9-liter engine. In 1999 the model was restyled. The first generation Megane was produced at factories in France, Spain, Turkey, South America, and even at the Moscow Avtoframos in 1997-2000, a screwdriver assembly of sedans was carried out.

2nd generation, 2002-2009


The second generation Renault Megane, produced since 2002, is remembered for its expressive but controversial hatchback design. The sedan, produced in Turkey since 2004, had a calmer appearance and was quite popular in Russia. Station wagons were made at a factory in Spain. And instead of a convertible with a soft top, a car with a coupe-convertible body was created.

The range of gasoline engines included units with a volume of 1.4, 1.6 and 2 liters (82-163 hp), as well as a two-liter turbo engine with a capacity of 163 hp. with. There were three diesels - 1.5, 1.9 and 2.0 with a capacity of 80 to 173 "horses". Attended in lineup and a "hot" hatchback - Renault Megane RS was equipped with a forced up to 225-230 hp. with. two-liter turbo engine.

Iran and Taiwan appeared in the list of countries producing Megane, but Russia did not. In 2006, the car received a slightly updated appearance, and in 2008-2009 it gave way to the third generation model (the sedan version received given name - ).

The naked eye can see the difference in appearance that distinguishes the Megane II from today's version. "Face" the third generation copies the coupe of the same name, which appeared with us a little earlier. To say that this is a drawback is impossible, because both cars look fresh from the front. The sharp edges of the predecessor were replaced by elegant flowing lines and, probably, more correct proportions of the body. The new design is calm rather than flashy. However, Megane III looks much more impressive.
The trunk is quite voluminous for a compact class hatchback (368/1125 liters), moreover, spare wheel does not take up useful space as it is located at the bottom of the compartment, directly above the road. It doesn't matter what the pen back door took an unfortunate place - in inclement weather, opening the trunk and not getting your hands dirty will be problematic.
Interior updated version has changed significantly - no continuity of generations is found. This is probably good. At least for those considerations that the changes affected both the design in general and the quality of finishing materials. In some places, soft plastic is used, the elements of the panels are fitted almost flawlessly.
Sadly, the hatchback is supplied to us with only one engine - a 1.6-liter petrol "four" with a capacity of 106 forces. Automatic transmission, which, unfortunately, does not allow the car to quickly pick up speed (up to 100 km / h -13.9 sec.). With such an indicator, the automatic Megane III is difficult to fight for a place in the sun. And this is despite the quite smooth gear changes and good noise and vibration isolation. The dynamics are much more interesting with the "mechanics".

Renault Megane is one of the best-selling French cars. Which, in general, is not surprising, because this car attracts and mesmerizes not only with its appearance, but also with well-thought-out ergonomics, and special, "Megan's" behavior on the road. Despite a few very simple interior details, it looks great, and it will be comfortable not only for the driver, but also for his passengers. The sedan layout has already become a classic, and such a car looks the most representative. This machine may become the only one in the family, and although it will be difficult to take away your last root crop from the village in it, it must be assumed that this fact will not upset its owner in the least.

The Renault Megane family of cars was updated in 1999. More expressive and streamlined design, redesigned interior, rich equipment, optimal safety system, new engines ... Thanks to the variety of modifications offered to the models, the new Megan proves itself as a car, talented in every way. The maximum useful volume for loading is a station wagon. Capacity and good handling - hatchback or Classic. Dynamism and sporty style - the coupé. Attractiveness and elegance - a convertible. The designers paid great attention to the safety of the car. The Renault Protection System (SRP) includes two airbags for the driver and front passenger, head-chest side airbags in the front of the passenger compartment, three-point seat belts with tensioners and force limiters in the front seats. Powerful and reliable brakes with anti-lock wheel system (ABS) and electronic distribution braking force between the rear wheels (EBV) as standard.

Prices for Renault Megane II (2003-2009) were initially quite democratic. Add to them the avant-garde appearance for the early 2000s and good equipment - and here's the secret of its former popularity. On secondary market Megan is no less attractive, and it is getting cheaper pretty quickly. Maybe for a reason?

Europeans liked the extravagant hatchback, which in 2003, a year after its debut, became the European Car of the Year, and a year later took first place in sales in the "absolute". Our favorite is a more spacious and practical sedan (80% of sales), which was launched in 2004 in Bursa, Turkey. And all station wagons (15% of sales) are assembled in Spain.

Any of the bodies, regardless of the type or place of production, is well protected from corrosion - the metal panels are galvanized, and the front fenders and the boot floor are made of polypropylene. But who is without sin? Rust can appear on the rear wheel arches with paint that has worn to metal - by the way, watch out for the intact anti-gravel stickers on the rear fenders, which are easily torn off by a strong jet of water during washing.

The salon does not look outdated even after the change of generations, but with age it “gets out” with creaks, and head unit VDO Dayton cars older than 2007 are prone to failure

Short chain mail - the limp carpet at every opportunity crawls out from under the overlays

Electric windows are not reliable, and the fabric of the door upholstery is not stain-resistant. The rubber-plastic coating of the inner door handles during intensive use begins to peel off after a couple of years

The cause of premature failure of the support bearings of the front struts is insufficient protection from dirt. The electric power steering (1700 euros) is not repairable and must be replaced in case of any malfunction


Automatic box DP0 gears - a real time mine that can "jerk" through 60-80 thousand kilometers

There are no special complaints about manual transmissions, but be sure to check the condition of the oil seals and gaskets - so that they do not leak

Rubber glass seals peel off by themselves, and for hatchbacks produced in 2005, for no apparent reason, it can fly apart rear glass- When buying, make sure that the former owner did not ignore the branded recall company.

Sedans have an even more exotic problem - during severe frosts, their roof can swell! The peak of the epidemic happened in the harsh winter of 2006, and the fault was the thermal noise insulation firmly glued to the roof panel - shrinking from the cold, it pulled the metal along with it. Since 2007, mats from a different material have been used, and traces of roof repairs on older cars are not at all a sign of their accident rate in the past.

Renault is trying to position the Scenic compact van as an independent model, but technically it's the same Megane II.

The body of the SS coupe-cabriolet when driving on uneven roads perceptibly "plays", and the component parts of the folding rigid roof loosen over time

The sedan's wheelbase is 65 mm longer than that of the hatchback, but because of the sloping roof and piled up struts, it is less comfortable to sit in the back.

The fastest of the Megan's, the RS is "supercharged" to 224-230 hp. two-liter engine F4R, outwardly almost did not stand out

Five-door hatchbacks are rare on our roads, and three-door hatchbacks are utterly exotic.

The station wagon is built on the same long-wheelbase platform as the sedan. Due to the Spanish assembly, the new one cost 60 thousand rubles more, so it did not gain the same popularity

The electrician does not regret dampness: the contacts of the lamps are oxidized (in dorestyling sedans older than 2006, the diffuser is also melted from local overheating), xenon ignition units fail (200 euros each). Electric door glass drives are poorly protected from water (300 euros), and their control buttons do not shine with reliability even when dry.

The "climate" of the cabin is equally likely to go on strike due to a fan failure (250 euros), its control unit (180 euros), and after 100 thousand kilometers, even worse - because of a jammed air conditioner compressor (900 euros). In cars of the early years of production, it was often necessary to change the "head" of the standard audio system under warranty, in which the display did not go out when the ignition was turned off.


The main "consumables" in the front - levers and steering rods


Silent blocks rear suspension they do not differ in special vitality, but they are located in plain sight - it is not difficult to control their condition

It can be easier to extinguish an illuminated airbag malfunction signal by inspecting the electrical connector under the driver's seat. Worse, if, after 80-100 thousand kilometers, the cause is a break in the wiring bus in the steering column - its harbingers will be clicks when turning the steering wheel, and the entire block of steering column switches will have to be changed (250 euros).

And do not be lazy at least once a year to clean the drain holes in front of the windshield (for this you will have to remove the windshield wiper leads and the protective plastic casing). Otherwise, you risk not only making a swamp in the cabin and spoiling the thermal insulation of the motor shield, but also unscheduled changing the "trapezium" of the wipers (400 euros complete with a motor): being drowned in the "pool" of the drainage tray, it will not last long.

They do not like dampness and numerous electrical wiring connectors under the hood - it is better to think twice before washing the engine. And it is advisable to treat individual ignition coils (45 euros each) even without washing with special grease at the point of contact with the candle - this is a chance to somehow extend their life. Where the coils are located and how to change them is probably known to every "meganovod" - this weakness was inherited from the machines of the first generation. Until 2006, only Sagem coils were installed on all gasoline Megans, which sometimes did not live up to 30-40 thousand kilometers. Then they began to put Beru or Denso reels on most of the machines - they last much longer.

If the engine does not want to start at all, the search for the culprits should be started with the crankshaft position sensors and camshafts(30-40 euros). A more expensive source of trouble for the most common 1.6 engine (85% of cars on our market) and for a two-liter unit (6% of cars) is a variable valve timing system. Before the unit was modernized during restyling in 2006, the phase shifter in the gas distribution mechanism (500 euros) was meekly changed under warranty, which often became the first surprise for owners of very fresh cars with a mileage of only 20 thousand kilometers. At first, the mechanism quietly wedges, which complicates starting the motor in frost, and then loudly declares its fatigue (at first - only after a cold start) by "diesel" rattling - the sealing plates of the phase shifter rotor blades wear out and the retainer socket in the stator housing breaks.


Be careful - the low-lying plastic boot bottom is easy to split. On cars before 2006, the rear brakes were not equipped with mud guards, which leads to accelerated wear of the inner pads


In winter, the plastic flap of the gas tank often freezes, and an attempt to open it ends in a breakage of the retainer

0 / 0

Active car drivers with a brisk two-liter engine often finish off the rear support power unit after 30-40 thousand kilometers (with a 1.6 engine, it usually lasts two to three times longer), and it makes sense to change the water pump to any of the units along with the timing belt every 60 thousand kilometers - it is unlikely to last until the next one. By the way, do not be tempted to change the belt in "Uncle Vasya's garage": the pulleys on the crankshaft and camshafts sit without dowels, and it is necessary not only to correctly set the phases, but also to tighten the fastening bolts correctly - the consequences of turning the pulley are no better than when the belt breaks.

Transmission problems? There are. Mechanical boxes gears - that six-speed in two-liter cars, that "five-speed" with less powerful motors - by themselves rarely fail. They can only be blamed for the lever stroke that was inaudible from birth and for oil seal leaks after 100 thousand kilometers (watch the oil level - otherwise the differential bearings will suffer). But jerks at the moment of closing the clutch discs often begin after some 10-15 thousand kilometers. The twitching is especially noticeable when the unit heats up in the heat or when driving in traffic jams - and it cannot be radically cured even by replacing the complete “basket” (250 euros).

But this is a saying. And a fairy tale - an adaptive "automatic" DP0 (cost 3500 euros), under the name AL4, bothered the owners of Peugeot and Citroen cars (AR No. 11 and 18, 2009). The unit, which debuted in 1999, has been improving all its life, but it has remained capricious. The box does not like to work in a cold state and is sensitive to the oil level (in the absence of a dipstick, it can only be checked on a lift). In the risk group, both oil seals and a torque converter (a bulkhead will cost 700-1000 euros), but most often - sometimes after 60-80 thousand kilometers - due to strong shocks during switching, you have to change the modulation valves or the entire valve body (200-450 euros ).

The metal of the body is reliably protected by galvanizing: the chip in the photo is more than a year old

The anti-gravel stickers on the rear fenders are weak. On the other hand, this car's sticker flew off completely

The plastic front fenders are light-bumping, but the bumper clips break off with ease

Known weak spots and in the suspension. Take at least the support bearings of the front struts (100 euros) - before the reinforcement of the structure in 2007, their warranty replacements due to tapping on irregularities happened even after 15-20 thousand kilometers. But when you hear a rattling in the steering column, do not rush to the service immediately - on every second car this is the norm: the steering shaft could reach the travel stop in new cars. The "rail" itself (600 euros) usually requires surgery with the replacement of a broken bushing no earlier than 70 thousand kilometers. As a rule, the steering tips hold the same amount, but the rods (40 euros each) have time to be updated a couple of times until then - that rare case when it makes sense to put on a more durable "non-original".

Silent blocks of McPherson front suspension levers could serve 120-150 thousand kilometers each, if they had not been consumed twice earlier together with levers (100 euros each) with worn-out non-removable ball bearings. Of course, non-original hinges can be bought separately, but how strong a lever with a bolted ball will be is an unanswered question.


Low-beam halogen lamps do not last long, but change Jesuitically - to the touch, through the hatches in the front wheel arches


Does the windshield fog up quickly and there is a lot of dirt under the hood? This means that the sound insulation of the motor shield has swollen and the seal has sagged. To clean the drain pipes, you will have to dismantle the wiper arms and the cover under the windshield. Short-lived ignition coils (on this engine, they different brands) change easily - spare in the trunk will not interfere

Surprisingly durable bushings and stabilizer struts lateral stability, which do not give reason to remember them up to 110-130 thousand kilometers - the same amount are, for example, front shock absorbers (90 euros). Working at a high angle rear shock absorbers(50 euros) is heavier - they often give out their fatigue not by leaks, but by knocks before 100 thousand kilometers, and pay attention to the silent blocks of the rear beam (70 euros) after 100-120 thousand kilometers: if they creak, then they are torn.

You probably already understand why the Renault Megane II is becoming so seductively available at an age. But if the soul nevertheless asks for it, we advise you to pay attention to cars after restyling in 2006 (the French call them cars of the second phase) - many "childhood diseases" have been cured, and reliability raises fewer complaints. How tempting are the prices? Four to five-year-old cars with a 1.4 engine are estimated at 300-400 thousand rubles, with a 1.6-liter engine - at 330-450 thousand rubles - the same price fits, for example, Chevrolet lacetti(AR No. 14-15, 2010) or Peugeot 307 (AR No. 11, 2009), and more reliable peers Toyota corolla or Mazda 3 is more expensive. And the most interesting offer is, of course, the two-liter Meganas: they are more expensive than only by 10-20 thousand rubles. And, of course, it is better to prefer "mechanics" - although you will have to get used to the jerky nature of the clutch.


Vladimir Khvatkin

27 years old, Moscow, system administrator

My previous car was also Renault Megane II, but in a poor configuration Authentique, with a 1.4 engine and "mechanics". For five years from unscheduled replacements - only the ignition coils under warranty. That Megane won me over with the convenience of the interior and the comfort of the suspension, so I changed it to a hatchback - also five years old, with the same mileage of 80 thousand kilometers, but in the Dynamique configuration, with a 1.6 engine and automatic transmission. I knew about the weakness of the box, but on this car the valve block has already been replaced under warranty. But on the phase regulator of the engine, I "got" - a few months after the purchase, replacing it with a belt and pump cost 15 thousand rubles, and then by acquaintance. Soon, on this engine, it was necessary to change half of the ignition coils (no longer under warranty, at 1000 rubles apiece). Further - steeper: due to the closure of the wiring rotted in the rear door, the fuse box first flew, and then the starter burned out (a tow truck and repairs with used spare parts cost 17 thousand rubles). And all this happened in a year and 15 thousand kilometers. In general, my next car is unlikely to be a Megane.
