The Mégane Collection 2012 has a number of changes, most notably at the front. Diode lights and a new bumper have been added and the selection of wheels revised. New cabin trim has includes a two-tone leather pack; the GT and GT-line get red upholstery stitching and a sports steering wheel. There are also new body colours
Options include the Vision System from the Scénic and Grand Scénics. The system has a camera fixed to the windscreen behind the rearview mirror which improves night vision and features a lane-departure warning.
Once engaged, the system will dip the headlights when an approaching vehicle is detected and switch back to main beams when it has passed.

RS DESIGN PACK
Renault has also improved the sport version of its Mégane RS Collection 2012 with extra power and torque. The RS promises 195kW/360Nm and, like the standard model, receives a new wheel design and front-end changes. More features have been added to its RS Red Design Pack, among them red pin-striping for the front blade, sills and diffuser.
New interior trim has red stitching for the steering wheel, gear shifter fascia. Two-tone light grey and charcoal leather is an option, as are fabric or leather Recaro seats and a predominantly yellow ambience.
