Renault Mégane

New registrations in Europe

2,659,600 new Renault Mégane cars registered in the EU, Norway and Iceland between 2010 and 2022, from the European Environment Agency's CO₂ monitoring of every new car. In 2022 the largest markets were France (21,023), Spain (4,491), Germany (3,052).

Averages are weighted by registrations; CO₂ is the type-approval value (NEDC until the WLTP switch). European Environment Agency, CO₂ emissions from new passenger cars · re-use permitted with acknowledgement

Real-world fuel consumption

88,227 Renault Mégane cars and vans registered in Europe between 2021 and 2024 report their fuel use through the on-board meter. Diesel versions average 5.4 l/100 km on the road, against 4.6 l/100 km in the official WLTP test — 17% more. Plug-in hybrids use 5.2 l/100 km against 1.3 l/100 km on paper, with 107% of their distance covered with the engine off.

Litres per 100 km: total fuel used divided by total distance driven, from the car's own fuel consumption meter (OBFCM), collected in 2024 by the manufacturers, mostly remotely, and by national authorities. WLTP figures are the type-approval CO₂ values converted to litres. Hybrids, including mild hybrids, do not plug in; plug-in hybrid figures include the distance driven on electricity.

What it costs in fuel

On real-world figures the diesel Renault Mégane uses 5.4 litres per 100 km, so 15,000 km a year takes about 810 litres: €1,907 at this week's average price in France, its largest market in Europe.

Fuel for 15,000 km (9,300 miles) a year at real-world consumption.

MOT test results in Great Britain

120,564 Mégane cars took their annual MOT test in 2023; 54% passed first time, against 65% for all cars of the same ages. Older cars fail more often, so compare a year with the same year of other cars.

Why they fail

Share of all first tests that ended in a fail because of each part of the car (one test can fail on several).
