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 Focus, Vauxhall 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.
