360 Youtube Test Drive Video Takes Renault Megane GT to Big Ben

The GT is supposed to be a warm hatch, but it's also about new technology and the way that makes you feel. That makes it perfect for the marketing stunt Renault UK are trying to pull with this video.

With over half a million views in just one week, we aren't the only ones who enjoyed the #FeelTheDrive promo video. It's specific to the Renault UK channel and also shows how the car passes by some of London's most iconic landmarks.

So strap on your VR Gear and let's check out what it's like to be behind the wheel of the new Megane GT. Even with the weird filming angle, you can tell that the level of fit and finish if far beyond that of any previous Megan and maybe even superior to some of its German rivals. We are looking at you Opel; fix those loose ends!

Anyway, the Megane GT looks like an expensive car, but that's because it is. There's not much separating its £25,500 starting price and that of the hardcore RS 275 model.

If you look at it that way than it's not a good deal, but we think it can be a great affordable alternative to the Mercedes A200 or 250. The EDC twin-clutch gearbox is standard and shifts way better than anything Renault has made before. The Alcantara seats with blue accents have a sporty vibe about them, but they are optional.

Also showcased in this video is the Hands Free Parking feature. The Megane stops next to a Kadjar; the driver puts the gearbox in reverse and away she goes. The 360-degree camera allows you to look backward all the time, something you wouldn't normally do while doing your own parallel parking.
