2017 Renault Mégane Grand Coupé first view

It remains to be seen what impact the current political unrest in Turkey will have on the country's motor industry. If there's disruption, the new Mégane Grand Coupé – which is being built at the Oyak-Renault plant in Bursa – is one model that could be affected.

Nominally, this four-door saloon is a replacement for the Fluence. However, elegant proportions, smart design details and a panoramic glass roof mean the Mégane Grand Coupé is considerably more stylish than its frumpy predecessor.
