Renault's marketing plans for its new Mégane Grandtour are at an advanced stage. Spied here are pictures of the vehicle during a marketing video shoot, presumably for an advertising campaign in which the Grandtour is the centre of attraction. The commercial is being shot in Lisbon, Portugal.

The Mégane wagon joins the hatchback and coupe models in the series and may be the third of four versions that eventually include a sedan. Its styling closely resembles that of the hatch on the front end but features a distinctive rear end with split tail lights. The roofline slopes steadily towards the back to show the car's dynamic ambitions.

Under the bonnet a variety of engines will be found. Petrol derivatives will include a 1.6-litre unit making 100hp (74kW) and 110hp (81kW). The naturally aspirated 2.0-litre produces 140hp (103kW), a 1.4TCe will give out 130hp (96kW) while the turbocharged 2.0TCe makes 180hp (132kW).

On the diesel menu power outputs should range from 85hp (63kW) right up to 160hp (118kW). The Mégane Grandtour is show-ready and will make its world debut at Geneva next week.

New Megane is already very spacious inside. That will be even more... dog friendly. And it is a biggish car "in the light of newer trends".

I like it very much! Renault has really improved its design (Laguna Coupe & Grandtour, Megane Berline & Coupe and now Megane Grandtour). I just hope that Scenic will look as good as these new Meganes. I believe that the new Megane family will be huge success, definetly bigger then previously.
