Introduction

What Car? says...

As electric cars continue to grow in popularity, the Renault Megane E-Tech is big news – both for Renault and for anyone looking for a new family car

Why is it so significant? Well, while the Megane name has denoted a combustion-engined rival to the Ford FocusVauxhall Astra and VW Golf for more than 20 years, this latest version – the E-Tech – is powered solely by batteries. What’s more, it sits on a new electric vehicle structure that will form the basis of Renault models in the years to come.

FAQs

  • The Megane E-Tech is too new to have featured in our 2022 What Car? Reliability Survey but Renault claimed 18th place out of 32 manufacturers. All Renaults come with a five-year warranty as standard.

  • No – the Megane E-Tech comes exclusively as an electric car with a 60kWh (usable capacity) battery.

  • Of the three Megane E-Tech trim levels available, we reckon Equilibre represents the best value for money. It comes with plenty of standard equipment.

  • Euro NCAP awarded the Megane E-Tech five stars out of five for safety.

  • Renault hasn't stopped making the Megane, but it no longer sells any petrol or diesel versions – only the E-Tech electric car version is offered new now.

  • Yes – the Megane E-Tech is a class above the Renault Zoe and is bigger in every direction.
