Initially, the Brazilian-made sedan have a 1.6-litre 16-valve flexfuel engine that runs on petrol, alcohol or a blend of the two. It’s the same engine used in locally-made Clio and Scénic models.


In the second half of 2006 the Mégane Sedan II will receive another flexfuel engine, a 2.0-litre 16-valve.


The Brazilian-made sedan will be sold both locally and in other Latin America countries.
