Renault Megane Sport Tourer to debut in Geneva

While the Sport Tourer looks similar to the Megane hatchback from the front, its stretched rear end features a boot which Renault says should come with class-leading space.

The new 2017 Renault Megane wagon has been revealed this week, in the lead-up to its Geneva motor show debut on March 1. The roof line is enhanced by matte-finish anodised aluminium roof bars (Dark Metal Colour on GT version).

With the 2016 Geneva Motor Show just a week away from kicking off in Switzerland, the reveals are starting to pile in, and this morning we have the first photos of the 2016 Renault Megane Sport Tourer – the load-lugging take on the new Megane – and a few snippets of information.

Seen here is the Renault Megane Estate GT, which should be the sportiest offering for the wagon.

Renault offers the Sport Tourer with a wide palette of gasoline- and diesel-burning engines that range from a 90-horsepower 1.5-liter dCi turbodiesel four-cylinder to a 1.6-liter gasoline-burning four-banger that generates 205 horsepower.

What we do know is that the Sport Tourer will retain the Megane hatchback’s hi-tech interior, including the large portrait touchscreen that controls the car’s major functions and the R-LINK 2 infotainment system.

The GT model at the show, like the GT variant of the hatchback, gets a four-wheel steering system called 4Control, created to make the auto feel more agile, whether on a twisting road or in tight urban traffic.
