The already crowded hot hatch market is getting busier still with the introduction of the new Renault Megane RS 275 which comes in two variants of Cup-S and Nav. The Megane RS is one of the most prominent names in this segment, so expectations are high.

At first glance, things sure look good. Sure, the design of the new Renault Megane RS leaves something to be desired, but it starts from just £23,935 in the UK which is a fair price for a car powered by a 2.0-litre, 275hp turbocharged petrol engine. The difference between these two variants is that the 275 Cup-S features the uprated Cup chassis as standard whilst sporting a lower price tag than the 275 Nav in exchange for some of its sibling’s higher specification items. So if you are into driving, go for the Cup. If you want better specs, the Nav is your car.

Renault Megane RS 275 is a gem of a hot hatch, boasting a 0 to 60 time of 6.0 seconds and a top speed of 158 mph, sport ESC, mechanical limited-slip differential, red paint on the Brembo four-pot brake calipers, firmer springs and dampers and a stiffer anti-roll bar. The car also gets optional Öhlins adjustable dampers with 20 positions at the front and 30 at the rear and a bespoke titanium exhaust system from Akrapovic.

The RS Nav model (£25,935), meanwhile, is fitted with the standard ‘Sport’ chassis and 18-inch wheels. Where this model excels is in terms of equipment. It comes with features such as automatic lights and wipers, dual-zone climate control, hands-free keycard entry system, rear parking sensors with colour camera, extra tinted rear side windows and tailgate, a sunvisor with illumination, chrome Renaultsport door sill plates, a 4x35W sound system and the R-Link v2 multimedia and navigation system with live traffic updates.
