The new generation Renault Megane RS has some great features that make it one of the best front-wheel drive hot hatches in the market.
‘Four-wheel steering’ is one of them, as unlike its direct rivals, the French car uses this system dubbed 4Control by Renault, to improve its handling. And the best part is that customers don’t have to pay extra to benefit from it, because it’s offered as standard.
What’s else is special about the latest Megane RS? That would be the engine, because aside from a few modifications, it’s identical to the one mounted in the middle of the modern Alpine A110. In the hot hatch, the turbocharged 1.8-liter four-cylinder unit is more powerful, making 280PS (276hp / 206kW) and 390Nm (288lb-ft) of torque, allowing it to cover the 0-100km/h (0-62mph) acceleration in 5.8 seconds.
