Renault facelifted the entire Megane generation in 1999, preparing it for the Euro 3 emission standards, and the Coupe version was also upgraded.

When the French carmaker introduced the Megane range, it was one of the most extended on the market, produced as a coupe, a cabriolet, a hatchback, a sedan, and an MPV. It was also a successful model based on an older but reliable platform carried over from Renault 19. Its coupe version was built as a better choice than a hot-hatch, but its success was limited.

The carmaker designed the coupe's front fascia and introduced the "Bird beak" concept design with a vertical slat that divided the front grille in two halves. The headlights resembled a pair of bird eyes as well, while the wrapped-around plastic bumper featured a wide grille on the lower side flanked by two round fog lights. Despite its appearance, the Megance Coupe was a two-door vehicle. Its trunk lid opened without the rear window.

Inside, the carmaker introduced better quality materials and white dials for the instrument panel with red needles. The instrument cluster was extended over the center stack, where Renault introduced a new CD player as an option, above the climate control dials. Its bucket seats at the front were designed mostly for comfort, while in the back, there was almost no room for any person.

Under the hood, the carmaker installed a wide engine range, between 95 hp and 140 hp. Strangely, Renault offered a 1.9-liter turbo-diesel engine.
