Detailed analysis of the Renault Mégane Sport Tourer Privilege Tce 130 · 131 CV (2009-2010)
General description
The 2009 Renault Mégane Sport Tourer Privilege Tce 130 is presented as a balanced family option, combining the versatility of a family car with an efficient gasoline engine for its time. Priced at 20,920 euros, it aimed to win over those who needed space without sacrificing a certain dynamism.
Driving experience
Behind the wheel, the Mégane Sport Tourer offered a comfortable and predictable driving experience. Its 131 hp 1.4 TCe engine, with turbo and indirect injection, delivered 190 Nm of torque at 2250 rpm, which translated into agile response for daily driving and safe overtakes. Acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h in 9.9 seconds and a top speed of 200 km/h made it competent on the road. The suspension, McPherson type at the front and torsion beam with trailing arms at the rear, filtered road irregularities well, providing a smooth ride. Electric power steering contributed to relaxed driving, although it perhaps lacked the most direct feedback for enthusiasts. The combined consumption of 6.5 l/100km was reasonable for a gasoline family car of its size.
Design and aesthetics
The design of the 2009 Mégane Sport Tourer stood out for its fluid lines and an elegant silhouette that disguised its size. With a length of 4559 mm, a width of 1804 mm, and a height of 1469 mm, it offered a robust yet stylish presence. The wheelbase of 2701 mm guaranteed good interior space, especially in the rear seats. The trunk, with 524 liters, was one of its strong points, ideal for families or those who needed large cargo capacity. The interior, although functional, presented a sober design and quality materials appropriate for its segment, with a focus on ergonomics and ease of use.
Technology and features
In terms of technology, the Mégane Sport Tourer Privilege Tce 130 incorporated standard elements for its time. The 1.4 TCe engine was an example of the trend towards 'downsizing' with turbo to improve efficiency and performance. It featured a 6-speed manual gearbox, which allowed good use of the engine. In terms of safety, it had 280 mm ventilated front disc brakes and 260 mm rear discs, offering effective braking. Electric power steering was an advance in comfort. Although it did not stand out for disruptive innovations, it offered a solid and reliable technological package for its segment.
Competition
In the competitive compact family car segment, the Renault Mégane Sport Tourer faced tough rivals such as the Ford Focus Sportbreak, the Opel Astra Sports Tourer, the Peugeot 308 SW, and the Volkswagen Golf Variant. Each offered its own virtues, whether in dynamism, interior space, or finish quality, but the Mégane positioned itself as a balanced option, with a good compromise between comfort, habitability, and a competent gasoline engine.
Conclusion
The 2009 Renault Mégane Sport Tourer Privilege Tce 130 was a very capable family car, ideal for those looking for a spacious, comfortable car with a capable gasoline engine for daily use and travel. Its attractive design, generous trunk, and balanced behavior made it a very interesting option in its segment. Although it was not the sportiest or the most luxurious, it offered a complete and reliable package for the needs of a modern family.
