Renault has introduced the new top-of-the-range Iconic trim for its all-new Megane E-Tech 100% electric vehicle. This latest version features a heat pump, which improves the efficiency of the vehicle.
The Iconic trim builds on the extensive specifications of the limited Launch Edition, with the added benefits of the heat pump and a broader color palette. The patented heat pump system developed by Renault’s thermal management engineers is designed to recover heat generated by the battery and electric motor with greater efficiency. This helps to ensure optimal cabin temperature while also reducing the impact on range.
The heat pump technology helps to lower the temperature of the battery and electric motor, using two times less energy to heat the cabin than traditional heat pumps. The recovered heat is captured by pipes that run throughout the battery and motor, converting the recovered heat to warm the passenger compartment and improving the vehicle’s range.
The Iconic specification offers a wider range of color choices, including two-tone paint options, with options for solid, metallic, or special metallic paints. Additionally, the Iconic comes with a host of standard and unique features, such as 20-inch Enos alloy wheels, a 9-speaker Harman Kardon audio system, and a smart rear-view mirror.
The all-new Megane E-Tech 100% electric is built on the advanced CMF-EV platform and features a range of up to 280 miles (WLTP). It also offers a class-leading digital experience with a 12.3-inch dashboard display and 9-inch multimedia display, as well as Android Automotive OS with integrated Google services.
Customers can choose from Iconic, Equilibre, and Techno versions, with prices starting from £36,995 OTR. The all-new Megane E-Tech 100% electric is the first model in Renault’s new generation of electric vehicles and is designed with the brand’s “sensual tech” design language.
