For A spacious and affordable small family estate with a well-built cabin. It handles well and is available with some fine engines. The practical rear end is neatly styled, too
Against The rear seats aren’t the easiest to fold and there’s a step in the load floor when they are folded down. Renault’s reliability needs to improve and resale values will be comparatively weak
What Car? says
The Megane Sport Tourer offers decent practicality and sharp looks, and every model comes reasonably equipped. However, the rival Skoda Octavia Estate is cheaper, bigger and better to drive.

Buyer's notes
Target Price team says:
The Sport Tourer isn’t remarkable in any area, but it’s a decent all-rounder and there’s a model to suit every budget.
Buyers can choose from five petrol engines and four diesels, with outputs from 85- to 177bhp. The two 1.5 diesels emit no more than 120g/km of CO2, so qualify for a low 13% company car tax rating.
Entry-level Expression trim comes with air-con, four electric windows and six airbags, but most buyers will opt for Dynamique TomTom. There’s a fair premium, but it adds lots of desirable extras, including Bluetooth connectivity, alloys and cruise control, as well as sat-nav.
Top GT Line TomTom models have dual-zone climate control, parking sensors and electric folding door mirrors, but we’d save our money.
Renault has been making big noises about improving quality and reliability recently, but things still need to get better. The brand hasn’t fared that well in our recent Reliability Supertests or JD Power Customer Satisfaction Surveys.
