Aragonis, yes it's an improved version of the 19. Extract from here :
Quote:
The Mégane I was unveiled in the autumn of 1995, as a replacement of the Renault 19. The car was essentially a reskin of its predecessor, and carried over the 19's floorpan, engines, transmissions and chassis design, albeit with much modification.
[...]
Safety was a key focus of the Megane I, Renault's first car reflecting their new focus of selling on safety. [...] Megane I achieved a best-in-class 4-star crash test rating in the 1998 round of testing by EURONCAP.
I have the rare (in France) "classic" version which is a 4-door saloon, as French do prefer hatchbacks.

Denis.
