Renault Captur gets new top-spec trim level

4:30 PM

The Renault Captur crossover is the second best-selling model in the French brand's line-up, and a new top-spec 'Signature' model has been added to the range, boasting extra kit and some exterior changes over the existing models.

The popular crossover's top-spec trim adds 17-inch alloys, plenty of chrome detailing and a two-tone paint finish. Six colours are available, with the distinctive Flame Red paint making the grade.

Inside the Signature model there's part-leather upholstery, exclusive mats and door sills and some colour-coded detailing on the centre console and air vents. Renault has given the new model some additional tech inside, too.

The seven-inch touchscreen infotainment system now features USB connectivity and an uprated stereo with 3D sound. A rear parking camera featues on this model, as well as rear parking sensors.

Plus, Renault's 'Grip Xtend' is standard - a traction control system that assists on difficult surfaces, giving the front-wheel drive Captur some off-road ability.

Available to order now, the Captur Signature is available with the standard range of engines. Prices start at £17,495 for the turbocharged 0.9-litre TCe 90 petrol, rising to £19,695 for the automatic-only TCe 120. The dCi 90 diesel starts at £18,895.

Renault EOLAB: 282mpg supermini -Paris Autoshow-

4:30 PM

Renault’s headline act for the 2014 Paris Motor Show is a radical supermini concept car, which contains more than 100 new technical innovations to cut fuel consumption. Called the EOLAB, it’s essentially a test bed for ideas Renault promises will make it into showroom-ready models before 2020.

Renault claims the EOLAB can achieve 282mpg (equivalent to the milestone of one litre of fuel per 100 kilometres) and emits only 22g/km of CO2. Like Peugeot’s rival project from 2013, the 208 FE Hybrid, the EOLAB uses three tactics to slash consumption: slippery aerodynamics, lightweight components and a hybrid drivetrain. Renault says the car can drive up to 60km (37 miles) at up to 120kph (75mph) on electric power alone.

Most striking about the EOLAB (its name is a nod to the Greek god of wind and the word ‘laboratory’) is its slippery shape. The Clio-sized five-door supermini uses typical drag-reducing measures like a wedgy silhouette, short tail and cameras instead of door mirrors, but there’s a suite of radical active aerodynamic features, too

2014 Renault Megane R.S. 265 Sport Facelift

4:30 PM

Priced at RM199, 999 (OTR without insurance), this Sport chassis version comes here as a more everyday-friendly variant of the hot Megane, compared to the more track-oriented Cup and Trophy versions we’ve had lately.

Almost all changes on the 2014 Megane R.S. facelift are purely within the styling department. The front fascia has been updated to feature the French marque’s latest corporate face, with new headlights, a tweaked bumper, a restyled hood and a new gloss black grille with enlarged Renault logo making an appearance.

Under the hood is a turbocharged 2.0-litre four-pot that is carried over from the outgoing model. Power output remains the same at 265hp at 5,500rpm and 360Nm of torque at 3,000rpm. A six-speed manual transmission does the job of sending all the power to the front wheels.

The refreshed French hot hatch is capable of doing its century sprint in six seconds, before topping off at 250km/h.

Renaultsport reclaims Nurburgring lap record

4:30 PM

Renault has unveiled the most hardcore RenaultSport Megane yet, the Trophy-R, and celebrated in style: by setting a new lap record at the Nurburgring.

The FWD battle has hotted up in recent times. The Trophy-R lapped the German track in a total time of 7min 54secs, smashing the previous front-wheel drive record of 7m58s set by a Seat Leon Cupra. Not half bad for a "family hatch", albeit one that costs almost £10,000 more than the Leon.

Renault Eolab

4:30 PM

Debuting at the Paris Motor Show in a few weeks, this Renault Eolab concept aims to match the German automaker’s volkswagen XL1 space pod's fuel economy – without its out-of-this-world styling and offbeat packaging. The VW, which gets its name from its ability to go 100 kilometers on one liter of fuel (about 260 miles per gallon), will no longer be the only vehicle able to be that miserly with fuel use, at least on paper.

The B-segment Eolab (we keep typing Ecolab, like the hygiene company) uses a combination of low weight thanks to materials like magnesium and aluminum, careful aerodynamics and an updated version of Renault's Z.E. [Zero Emission] hybrid gas-electric powertrain to be so frugal. In fact, the car weighs just 400 kilograms – 880 pounds – which is crazy light and means less energy is required to move it down the road. The battery part of the Eolab's PHEV powertrain will offer about 37 miles of range.

In all, Renault says there are "100 new, realistic technological developments" in this showcar that could come to upcoming Renault vehicles. Sadly, Renault is calling this cool concept "an innovative showcase with an environmental core" for now, but we'd love to try one in the real world. We're eager to learn more about this car, and we look forward to hearing Renault officials expound on how a car like this could be mass produced within the next 10 years.

5:00 PM

Renault have release a new campaign video called "Challenge us if you can". Renault Megane is the competitor for cars like Volkswagen Scirocco. We love it looks which is more radical and fresh compare to scirocco.

In their campaign, they showed some lucky persons to have a ride with them around Paris with Gymkhana style stunts.

The Megane Trophy V6 is powered by 3.5 Liter V6 which developer 400 hp and all the powers are transmit to a Sadev 6-speed gearbox

But we dont know exactly what are their points since the shopper cant even put her shopping bags. Is it cool? Maybe for Renault fans only ...
