Renault's second-generation electric range kicks off with an impressive five-door family hatch with some SUV style. It's a great package and very efficient, and a recent drop in price makes it seem much more competitive.

Ginny Says

“I really like the look of the Megane E-Tech, and the stats are all really competitive. The prices at launch looked a little steep but they are now much more competitive, especially with the keen finance deals on offer.”

Nicki Says

“I'm a big fan of the Zoe, so it's great to see Renault finally build on that with the new all-electric Megane. It's a really impressive package and I love the Google-based infotainment tech. It really works and gives a good blend of buttons and screens.”

​​Got questions? We've put together the most frequently-asked topics below. If there's something we haven't answered here or in the review then let us know on our contact page.

Is this an electrified version of the current Megane?

Confusingly, Renault already makes a Megane E-Tech – a plug-in hybrid version of the current petrol powered Megane. For reasons best known to Renault, the all-new, all-electric version will have the same name, even though it’s a completely new and different car. 

What battery sizes will be available?

Renault currently offers the Megane E-Tech with one battery options; a 60kWh pack. In other markets there is a 40kWh model, and it may follow on later. 

Will there be an RS version?

Not as such, but Renault has confirmed that its sporting sub-brand Alpine will develop a range of high performance electric cars. So we would expect to see a range-topping Alpine Megane electric at some point in the future with all-wheel drive and a power output of more than 300bhp. 

Will there be an estate?

It’s unlikely that the new Megane E-Tech will be offered as an estate. The market for estate cars has dwindled in recent years with buyers preferring the practicality and high driving position of SUVs. 

How much is the Megane E-Tech?

Prices start at £34,495 for the Equilibre, rising to £38,495 for the Iconic.
