Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Renault is showing off the new Coupé-Cabriolet, the sixth body variant of the current Mégane. The new car has a glass folding roof, a feature that gives it a bit more dash than other Golf-class convertibles, although it doesn't appear to be an out-and-out competitor for sportier models such as Audi's TT, in the way that Peugeot's new RCZ is.
In keeping with recent trends, Renault is offering the new cars with diesel as well as petrol engines; until a few years ago, most manufacturers considered diesels to be too noisy and smelly to be offered in convertibles but the latest diesel engines are much more refined than older units.
The new car will be available in the UK from July, although prices have not yet been released. A further Renault convertible model, the smaller Wind, will be introduced shortly afterwards.
