Renault Mégane E-Tech (2022 – present) | Expert Rating

Model reviewed: Range overview
Score: 9 / 10
“What impresses most about the new all-electric Megane is its ability to combine characters: it’s either fun and playful or comfortable and relaxing. We like the way it looks, we like the interior and we like the tech. Space in the back is a little disappointing, but with the right pricing and specification this could be a Megane that really gives its Volkswagen equivalent a run for its money.”

“Renault’s Mégane hatchback is reborn as a pure electric family car, with two battery options and a choice of three trim levels. Decent range and slick onboard tech make it easy to live with and it’s a convincing alternative to the likes of the VW ID.3 (and its various relatives) while drawing on Renault’s extensive electric expertise.”

“It succeeds in offering a bit of sparkle and interest for the enthusiast who wants to relish a good road but also to go electric at a reasonable price. It doesn’t feel as airy inside as the ID 3, but it looks great, can raise a grin in corners, and has vastly better infotainment than most alternatives.”

“The Megane Electric is smooth-riding, sharp-looking, efficient-running and its interior is up there with the best in class. Pretty engaging to drive too.”

“The Renault Megane E-Tech Electric represents a step forward for Renault, particularly next to its current EVs like the Zoe. It’s especially stylish, while the cabin is a big leap forward in terms of tech and quality. The choice of powertrains will mean there will be something to suit most. Its only real weakness is its practicality.”

“While the new Megane is a little more spacious than the old one, it doesn’t give the same feeling of space that we’ve come accustomed to in electric cars. The Megane’s arch rival, the ID.3, feels roomier for those in the rear seats. More impressive is the 440-litre boot, even if the lack of a false floor means loading heavy items can be tricky.”

“The Renault Megane E-Tech Electric is a super-stylish way to go electric, but its good looks come at a compromise on practicality.”

“The range looks good and if Renault could undercut the competition on price, it could have a real winner on its hands.”

“The interior itself is best described as lounge-like. The flat floor and lack of a centre console accentuate the space and you get a pair of huge infotainment screens that make it feel very high tech.”

“On the road, it’s certainly capable of delivering a good range considering those middling battery capacities. The interior is certainly a good place to spend time, and feels interesting and cohesive in a way that the conspicuously unconventional ID.3 doesn’t. What you’re left with is a desirable, well-finished and Google-enabled cabin.”

“Buyers have had to wait a while for Renault to expand its EV offering, but the Mégane E-Tech Electric seems to have been worth the wait. It’s a superb electric car: refined, comfortable to drive and, crucially, seems to walk the walk when it comes to real world driving range.”

“I preferred it to the VW ID.3 and certainly to the Skoda Enyaq. It felt more planted, more responsive and more of a driver’s car without the weirdness which the VW Group (and others) seem hell bent on introducing to their cars.”

“A desirable family hatch that just happens to be electric. Fantastic interior, too.”

“As long as practicality isn’t your top priority, the Renault Megane E-Tech Electric is well worth your time. UK specifications and pricing haven’t yet been confirmed, but if it’s as affordable as Renault promises, this will be a very complete long-range small electric car.”

“The Renault Megane e-Tech Electric is one of the most well-rounded and appealing mid-size EVs we’ve driven to date. Its engaging drive, impressive ride comfort and the promise of great efficiency hold plenty of appeal, which is bolstered by the impressive array of entertainment and safety equipment. Only slightly cramped rear seats and an impractical boot layout let it down.”
