Following the recent launch of its new GT models,
Renault is now completing the New Mégane family by confirming UK pricing
and specification for the Coupé-Cabriolet, the stylish finale to the
range.
The svelte new
drop-top comes in a choice of two trim levels, Dynamique TomTom and GT,
priced from £21,595 rising to £25,830 for the top of the six model
range. |  | Among the additions are the new EDC (Efficient Dual
Clutch) automatic transmission, available exclusively with the 1.5 dCi
110 engine, which, at 130 grams per kilometre, gives the lowest
emissions of any automatic versions in its class with a folding
hard-top.
Also debuting in the four-seater is the responsive, yet frugal 1.4 TCe
(Turbo Control efficiency) 130 engine. The third petrol engine in the
line-up is the 2.0 CVT 140, while the Dynamique TomTom powertrain
options end with the 1.9 dCi 130.
The two-version GT range is exclusively offered with the potent
two-litre TCe 180 petrol engine or the high-torque, two-litre dCi 160
diesel powerplant.
In keeping with the car's style, Mégane Coupé-Cabriolet comes with a
high level of specification, including an electric panoramic folding
glass roof as standard, to give the feeling of freedom whether the top
is up, or down.The elegant new model is available with a comprehensive
range of six engine and transmission combinations, two of which are
reserved solely for the flagship GT versions. | | | | SEAT is launching its best-specified cars yet with the
showroom debut this summer of new Exeo Tech and Exeo ST Tech models.
The luxurious new cars, which are available to order now and join the
existing Exeo line-up of S, SE, Sport and SE Lux versions, add thousands
of pounds worth of extra standard equipment to the already
well-specified models for the paltry sum of just £875. The six model range runs from £21,270 to £24,175. |  | Included as standard in the new SE Tech and Sport Tech
cars are DVD-based colour screen satellite navigation, BOSE premium
audio upgrade, luxurious black leather upholstery and an iPod connection
in lieu of the standard glove compartment-mounted USB port.
Together, priced as options, these highly desirable extras would
previously have cost an Exeo SE or Sport customer £3,270 yet the price
of the same Exeo SE Tech or Exeo ST Sport Tech, featuring the enhanced
specification, rises by just £875. Or, to put it another way, by opting
for a Tech model the Exeo buyer is saving a very handy £2,395 RRP.
| | | | The Peugeot 3008 range will expand in June with the
introduction of the 3008 HDi 163 FAP automatic version which will be
available in two trim levels, Sport and Exclusive.
The new engine, which meets the current Euro 5
emission standards producing 173gkm , is a major development of the old
2.0 litre 136 bhp "DW10B" HDi diesel engine featured in other Peugeot
models.
|  | The cylinder head, internal engine components, intake,
exhaust
and timing have all been extensively redesigned.The 3008 HDi 163 automatic also benefits from the
standard fitment of Peugeot's Dynamic Roll Control. This system, built
into the rear suspension, not only enhances driving enjoyment, but also
preserves ride comfort on a day-to-day basis, thanks to the excellent
damping control of any road irregularities.
Standard specification consists of: 17" alloy wheels with energy saver
tyres, rear parking aid, cruise control with speed limiter, radio / CD
player with MP3 playback, lighting pack with boot net, height adjustable
driver and passenger seats, full body coloured exterior, dynamic roll
control, leather steering wheel, front fog lights, electric front/rear
windows, air-conditioning, multi-flex interior (row two flat folding
seats, three position boot load area floor and split tailgate),
automatic electric parking brake with hill assist, electronic stability
programme (ESP), six airbags, ABS with EBFD and emergency brake assist,
two isofix seat mountings, remote central locking...
The Exclusive version adds the following standard specification - Cielo
panoramic glass roof, visibility pack (automatic headlights and wipers),
head up display, distance alert, rear side window sun blinds, tyre
pressure sensors, alarm (Thatcham category 1 approved), exterior pack
(chrome front & rear bumpers and side rubbing strips), family pack
(additional storage in rear foot lockers), dual zone digital
air-conditioning with air quality sensor (AQS) and climate control
Price of the Sport version is £21,395 and the Exclusive is £22,795. |
