Geneva Motor Show Renault

At the Geneva Motor Show Renault has brought not only the electric ZOE, but updated Megane and Scenic. In the fourth year "life" of popular models in Europe experienced a "facelift" - changed the design front end, but there were also the LED daytime running lights. But the main thing hiding under the hood - Megane / Scenic received another small-turbo.

The new engine family of Energy sends to the rest deserved aspirated engine 1.6-liter K4M. At first glance, the returns have not changed - a modest 1.2-liter unit produces 115 compared with 110 at the power 1.6 (we have the same 1.6 deforsirovan up to 105 troops). But what is the advantage in torque - TCe 115 Energy has 190 N ∙ m at 2000 r / min, while the old K4M can boast of only 151 N ∙ m at 4250 r / min.

Do not left unattended and electronic "stuffing» - Renault introduces the camera Visio System, watching layout and automatically switching headlights so as not to blind oncoming drivers. In the case of "exit" from the band when the car turned off, "turn signals» Visio System beeps and vibrations on the steering wheel.Slightly changed the materials and the finishing of the front seats, there was an optional rear view camera, dual-zone climate control now has the air quality sensor, and the audio system is available for extra charge Bose Energy Efficient System with compact speakers and light of reduced energy consumption. All of the above, including the engines, got renewed and Scenic.

The fact that the vehicle sets for assembly are supplied to the plant "Avtoframos" (it made a hatchback and sedan Megane Fluence) from Turkey. And there will "clone" machines updated only at the beginning of 2013. Apparently, waiting for restyling Fluence. However, the Russian office of Renault will try to use a forced pause with advantage - perhaps we will have machines with 115-horsepower turbo engine (the diesel engines of speech does not go). But there zagvodzka - in Europe "Mega» TCe 115 Energy offered only with the "mechanics", but for Russians it is not particularly relevant. Is the Renault will try to cross it with the old quad "automatic"?
