Total weights: 1164 kg, it should be noted that some special limited version adds 25 kg more taking a total weight of 1189 kg. We must also clarify that the weights of the motor, box are identical for all cases obtaining values of 160 kg and 40 kg respectively, thus forming the final set with 200 kg total. The Mégane I featured a 115 hp 1.6 L LAO4 engine, improved safety systems (pilot and copilot airbags), ABS, electronic brake distributor, emergency braking assistant, deformable bodywork, etc. In Venezuela and Ecuador Although Renault cars were not manufactured, they were imported from Colombia, Argentina or France the Mégane I Sedan was manufactured in Colombia and sold alongside the Mégane II. This Mégane Unique 2009-2010 lacked ABS brakes and coexisted in the Renault range with the Mégane II since 2005. In Latin America ( Argentina and Colombia ), the Mégane I ceased production in Colombia between March and April 2009 with a simplified range called Mégane Unique since 2006, of which only some units were sold as 2010 models. After the launch of the second generation, the first was discontinued in Europe. The Mégane I was manufactured in France, Spain, and Argentina. In 1998 the Renault Mégane received four stars out of five and 30 points out of 34 in the EuroNCAP crash test for adults. In February 1999 a restyled version was launched, which Renault called 'Phase 2 ', at the same time as the five-door station wagon' Mégane Break 'and the Estate version. In November 1995 the sedan version 'Mégane Classic' and the minivan 'Scénic' were launched, and then the convertible called 'Mégane Cabriolet' in March 1997. The first generation of the Mégane was launched on the market at the end of 1995, with a five-door hatchback body and a two-door coupe body commercially called the 'Mégane Coupé'. Presenting a group of solutions based on an average vehicle was a novel idea then. This segment of medium vehicles was the most important in the market, therefore the customers were diverse with different desires.

The aim was to diversify the offer of medium-sized models and not to standardize the needs of customers to a single model. The Mégane project consisted of making six models, different from each other, under the same project (X64) and covering many types of bodywork. For the replacement of Renault 19, it had been decided to change the commercial concept of a model for that of a range of models that encompasses the possibilities of being able to satisfy different needs in the same market segment.
