Top speed for the manual variant is 255km/h, 5 km/h higher than the 2020 Mercedes AMG A35.
The available onboard R.S. Drive adapts to the selected driving mode by altering the gearbox mapping (EDC variant), ESP behavior, steering weight and throttle pedal mapping. Power is sent to the front wheels via a 6-speed Efficient Dual Clutch (EDC) for the Auto EDC variant. Also included is launch control and aluminium paddle shifter for manual override.
The manual variant is paired to a 6-speed manual transmission with short throw in the gear shifts for a more engaging drive. Performance on paper is identical for both variants with the manual narrowly edging out the EDC variant in terms of top speed by 5 km/h.

2021 Renault Megane RS Overview
Renault Megane R.S Overview
The Renault Megane R.S is the French’s answer to the likes of the Honda Civic Type R, the Volkswagen Golf GTI and the Ford Focus ST. Unlike its 3-door coupé predecessor, the current generation hot hatch is based on the fourth-generation Renault Megane hatchback which comes in a more family-friendly 5-door flavor only.Offering first-in-class ‘4Control’ rear-wheel steering system, the Renault Megane R.S is the only car of its size that can swivel its rear wheel, promising a more agile handling while aiding in high-speed stability. Renault Megane R.S sits on a more track-focused Cup chassis and features Formula One inspired styling.
Two variants available in Malaysia are the 280 Cup Manual and the 280 Cup EDC (Efficient Dual Clutch). Prices start from RM279,888 for the manual variant and Rm 299,888 for the EDC equipped variant.
Must Read
Performance- Despite the engine downsizing exercise, the smaller capacity 1.8 L turbocharged engine produces more performance than the 2.0 L turbocharged engine it replaces. The overall result is a century sprint time matching the more powerful Honda Civic
Type R and a higher top speed than the Mercedes AMG A35 4-Matic.
Exterior- Formula One inspired and functional body kits, coupled with distinctive design touches like the R.S. Vision Full LED multifunction headlight featuring C-shaped daytime running light and chequered flag-style fog lamps accentuate the hot hatch sporty yet elegant exterior.Ride and Handling- Track-focused cup chassis features racing style hydraulic compression stops on all 4 corners, first-in-class 4Control rear-wheel-steering system and a limited slip differential to deliver superior maneuverability, stability as well as comfort.
ADAS- Advanced assistance features like the Active Emergency Braking System, Adaptive Cruise Control and Line Departure Warning are not available in the Malaysian spec model.
Interior Design- While the exterior design is bold and exciting, the same cannot be said about its interior design where it is starting to show its age.
Fabric seats- At the price point edging close to the RM 300k mark, one should at least expect leather upholstery to come as standard.
