Renault Megane

Only the most basic model misses out on a touch-screen infotainment system. Lower-end versions get the same 7.0-inch screen found in other small Renaults, which can be a little cluttered and confusing to use. In higher-spec Meganes, that’s replaced by an 8.7-inch portrait screen, which immediately gives the cabin a more high-tech feel. The bigger screen makes the infotainment easier to navigate, too, although it’s still not the most intuitive system of its type. Elsewhere in the cabin, it’s a little hit-and-miss. There are some genuinely impressive materials on display in some places, but in quite a few others, you find harder, shinier plastics that damage the overall feeling of quality. The sculpted seats are wonderfully supportive and have bags of adjustment, but the small rear window and thick pillars mean your rear visibility is rather limited.
