Renault introduces the Mégane Knight

Unlike many limited editions, the new Renault Mégane Knight actually appears to be a tempting proposition.

Based on the entry-level Expression+ trim grade, the Knight’s extra equipment includes rear parking sensors, LED daytime running lights, 16” ‘Eptius’ alloy wheels and electrically folding door mirrors. Rear privacy glass, dark chrome exterior trim and sports-styled bumpers borrowed from the GT Line variant complete the package.

Available in Hatch, Coupé and Sport Tourer guises, buyers get a choice of either a 1.6 litre petrol or a 1.5 litre turbodiesel engine. Both produce 108 bhp (81 kW / 110 PS), but the latter option demonstrates its superior efficiency by achieving 80.7 mpg (3.5 l/100km) on the combined cycle while emitting just 90 g/km of carbon dioxide.

Undoubtedly one of the best things about the Mégane Knight editions is their prices. Ranging from £17,095 to £20,595, they are only £350 more than the equivalent Expression+ models. To put that into perspective, the rear parking sensors alone are usually a £315 cost option.

Perhaps Chevalier would have been a more fitting name instead of Knight, though?
