Drive with ease thanks to Renault's EDC

February 2012

One of the most impressive Renault car parts is the efficient dual clutch (EDC) system, which makes driving models such as the Renault Megane Hatch all the easier.

The system enables the dual clutch in the Renault Megane Hatch Diesel to upshift in just 290 milliseconds, meaning gears can be matched to both speed and demand.

Motorists should then find their drive is much more efficient and responsive than in other vehicles, especially when it comes to diesel automatic models.

The EDC has been developed using the foundations of double-clutch technology, which fully reflects the manufacturer's aim to deliver comfort and driving pleasure.

Drivers of the Renault Megane Hatch Diesel will also find the car has a fuel economy of around 4.5 litres per 100km and CO2 emissions of 117g/km.

Other features of the Renault Megane Hatch model include hands-free Smart Card entry and ignition, meaning drivers will never have to fumble around for their keys again.

Furthermore, the car is able to automatically lock the doors whenever the driver moves away from the vehicle, or when they press the button situated on the driver's side of the door handle.

The locks are released once the hand of the individual carrying the card approaches one of the handles or activates the latch.

Test drive the Renault Megane Hatch for yourself by visiting Peter Warren Renault dealership in Sydney.
