2024 Renault Megane R.S. Trophy Price & Specs

This final iteration of Megane R.S. can still put a broad smile on even the most discerning enthusiast – and for that it's a Hall of Famer.

Renault Australia has increased prices by up to $1200 on some models, though some vehicles get extra kit.

Fancy the final edition of Renault's petrol-powered hot hatch? You'd better be quick as they're almost all gone, even though they haven't been built yet.

Renault's hot hatch is departing with a special final edition, of which just 40 examples will be offered in Australia.

The Renault Megane RS Ultime final edition will arrive mid-year as the French brand says au revoir to its hot hatch.

Renault will be bereft of hot hatches from next year, but longer term there are signs of an electrifying high-performance future.

Renault's niche hot hatch offering, the Megane R.S. Trophy, isn't disappearing just yet, with the brand's local distributor confirming it'll be around into 2023.

Renault now offers just one car in its SUV- and van-heavy local line-up. Thankfully, the Megane R.S. Trophy remains an absolute cracker.

Under new management, Renault Australia has recorded its best sales numbers in a few years. And there are important products incoming.

Renault has announced another price rise that'll affect all models. These new prices come into force from June 1, 2022.

Daniel B purchased this Renault Megane new for $45,000 (including all on-road costs). Daniel B would buy this car again because: "My Megane RS has been a great car to drive and for the most part a great car to own, if I was to purchase one again I would look towards the Trophy spec with the extra power and handling goodies. "

D Clarke purchased this Renault Megane new with additional options for $57,000 (including all on-road costs). D Clarke wouldn't buy this car again because: "Renault customer service is among some of the worst in existence. Incompetence is a common theme throughout all my dealings. From stuffing up the contract and selling me one car on paper (vin number) and giving me another on collection day. I was also asked to attach my own plates to the vehicle on delivery. The car was delivered unclean and with the fuel light on. From the turbo failing, fuel pump failing, seal in the fuel tank leaking, drivers seat squeaking and parking sensors going off even when on the highway. The car is a joke. But a quick scan of any of the Renault Facebook pages will show you our experience isn't uncommon. Unfortunately... For all it's fault I still love the feeling the car gives me when it actually works. "

Renault's only remaining car in Australia, the Megane, will be available only in R.S. Trophy trim for 2021 but its technology has been enhanced.

Incorrect instructions for using the window switches could see owners accidentally disable rear child locks, affecting 824 MY16 vehicles nationally.

Belt-up for the new Volkswagen Golf GTI, BMW 128ti, Skoda Octavia RS, Audi S3, Hyundai i20 N, Toyota GR Yaris Rallye, and updated versions of the Renault Megane R.S and Hyundai i30 N.

Renault may be getting ready to swing the axe on several models but the small Megane won't be one of them, as new CEO Luca de Meo reportedly commits to its future.
