What kind of engine does the Renault Grand Modus have?
The Dynamique spec model that we drove also has a trip computer, curtain airbags, foglights, leather steering wheel trim and soft-touch plastics.

What kind of gas mileage does a modus get?
We have a Renault Modus quickshift, and a Grand Modus manual, both with 1.5 Dci 86 engines. Renault claims 62.8 mpg and the records I keep vary from 60 to 65 mpg. That said, I don’t need to drive in the rush hour and, except on unrestricted dual carriageways, try to keep below 2000rpm which is neither difficult nor embarrassing.
