The glorious British summer is here, which can only mean one thing - rain. And a bit of sunshine. No wait, it’s raining again. It’s almost like you need two cars - or better yet, two cars in one, which is why Renault designed the Mégane Coupé-Cabriolet.
It’s one of the most advanced - and arguably the best-looking - hardtop/convertible on the market, with an electrically folding glass roof that stows in the boot at the touch of a button.
At the first ray of sunshine (or that inevitable drop of rain) you simply press a button, and 22 seconds later the roof has raised or lowered smoothly into place. Forget about leaky rag-tops - this is a proper glass-roofed cabriolet, with a 4mm thick Venus 35 glass roof that provides exceptional light, acoustics and security - not to mention optimum comfort for up to four passengers. It’s a snug coupé and a fun-loving sportscar rolled into one.
A range of beautiful engineering solutions also puts the Mégane at the leading edge of safety. With its reinforced body, six airbags and range of active braking and stability controls, the Coupé-Cabriolet has been awarded the full five-star rating in Euro NCAP crash tests. It even boasts automatic rollbars that protect the rear passengers if the car overturns. Good looking, smart and packed with novel features, the new Mégane Coupé-Cabriolet is the ideal car for a night at the drive-in, and quite possibly the most stylish drop-top under the sun (assuming it ever comes out, that is).
