However the eight valve engine will feel sluggish in motorway driving.
PROS: The only automatic in the entire Renault Megane Sports Tourer range offers a brilliant 67.3 mpg from its 1461cc diesel power plant. An impressive list of standard equipment makes this a good car.
CONS: The car is nearly £4,000 dearer than the entry level Megane Sports Tourer Impression and that seems a bit a excessive for a few electronic gizmos like satellite navigation , rear parking sensors and Bluetooth connectivity, all of which can be ordered as separate optional equipment.
The 1461cc power plant offers a decent 110 bhp at 4,000 rpm and returns 177 lb of torque at 1700 rpm. It will cruise at a top speed of 118mph but takes 11.7 seconds to go from standing to 62mph – not the quickest Megane Tourer by any means but not a deciding factor either for a city driver.
Standard power steering and stability control allied to a decent six-speed automatic gearbox makes the Megane Sports Tourer Dynamique a nice driver. The 60-litre fuel tank and impressive fuel consumption figures mean tedious trips to the garage forecourt will be few and far between.
The current model Megane Sport Tourer Dynamique TomTomDCi 110EC Auto is a far more eye catching than its predecessor. Its sleek and aggressive stance gives it, deservingly, a sporty look and a set of alloy wheels as standard add value to its appearance.
Standard in-car equipment includes CD player, MP3 and Bluetooth connectivity, satellite navigation, central locking, electric front windows, electric mirrors, cruise control and air conditioning.
A standard issue immobiliser and alarm are the chief security enhancements.
Safety features include driver, passenger and side impact airbags. Stability control is also standard.
While listed to seat five adults, a long journey may not be enticing to some in this medium family estate however there should be no such concerns for the parents of small children.
The ample 491-litre boot will swallow most family holiday requirements and those looking for extra load space will be impressed that this figure is nearly trebled when the rear seats are lowered.
The car comes with Renault’s standard three-year or 100,000-mile warranty and the back-up of its 260-strong dealer network.
It carries an insurance group rating of 18.
The Megane Sport Tourer Dynamique TomTomDCi 110EC Auto offers a great range of equipment and decent performance, but it is hard to justify the extra cost over the entry level model.
It’s frugality is the best selling point and the automatic transmission will find favour with city drivers. With an excellent average fuel economy of 67.3mpg, the model is an attractive proposition to those for which technology is important.
