Here’s a solution for those who want a Megane RS, but have a family and/or dog – the Renault Sport Megane Estate GT 220. Based on the wagon-bodied Megane, the GT 220 is not quite a Megane RS, but shares many of the hot hatch’s tricks.
Under its hood is a detuned version of the 2.0 turbo engine in the Megane RS. Not full fat, but 220 hp and 340 Nm of torque is still plenty of firepower. With the addition of Stop & Start, the GT 220 returns fuel consumption of 7.3 litres per 100 km, which is not bad at all. Ah, and there’s a six-speed manual gearbox, of course.
The GT 220 sits on a “Sport” chassis, which is also available in the Megane RS as a less hardcore option next to the “Cup” chassis – the latter is what TC Euro Cars specifies for Malaysia. Besides that, the wagon gets the same high-performance tyres as the hot hatch, specifically-calibrated EPS steering and “braking performance to match its sporty calling.”
Other unique details include GT 220 badging, a numbered plaque, 18-inch gloss black “Serdard” wheels and gloss black on the door mirrors, diffuser, air scoops and roof bars. There’s also a specific steel gear knob.
Sales of the Spanish-made Megane Estate GT 220 starts this month in France, ahead of its launch in 11 other markets including Japan. Read our review of the Megane RS here.

Superb….
Nice car, but wont end up here. And if it ever does, the price cannot be justified.
agreed… unless some grey importer wanna bring this here..
now who needs 2 kidneys ??
That’s the dashboard in 2012? It looks uglier than even Proton Preve.
bro,i think u in the wrong forum, elegant furniture forum is that way ————–>
SPOT ON HAHAHA!
I like your answer very much!
European interior is simpler, ergonomics play a big part. Classier.
I always say the japs interior looks like furniture. All honda n toyota fan boys love it and they cant just accept that cars are not furnitures, and dont need disco lights.or flowery seats And fake wood trims! then the exterior gold colour wahaha
Is anyone else getting bored of car companies releasing performance estates as brand halos?
Kimchi fans still do
Another Renault Megane family extension that i find beautiful.
I sincerely hope they will be able to replicate the beauty of the current gen of Megane in the next one.
A perfect family car for me..
Any chance it will be imported to Malaysia with not-so-ridiculous price?
reminds me of caldina. sweet~ :)
Ahhh finally an ideal family car for sporty drivers!
