The Trophy is now the only grade of the Megane RS available.
Renault Australia has cut the Megane RS hot hatch’s range in half as part of its midlife facelift, with the entry-level Sport and mid-range Cup variants no more, while the flagship Trophy grade carries on.
As such, you now need $2200 more to get into the Hyundai i30 N, Honda Civic Type R and Ford Focus ST rival, and that’s taking into account the $500 price rise the Trophy grade has copped, with the six-speed manual version moving up to $53,990 plus on-road costs.
A six seven-speed dual-clutch automatic variant is still offered but now charges $56,990. Either way, a 1.8-litre turbo-petrol four-cylinder engine drives the front wheels, with it producing 221kW of power and 400Nm (manual) or 420Nm (automatic) of torque.
