The Renault Megane E-Tech electric has become an even more enticing option for consumers, combining enhanced features with unprecedented affordability. Recently, this electric vehicle (EV) received additional standard equipment while experiencing a price reduction across all models. This dual enhancement not only bolsters its appeal but firmly establishes the vehicle as a top contender in the competitive EV market.
Key Highlights:
- Lower Starting Price: The starting price is now set at £33,995 OTR, making it the most affordable rate yet.
- Enhanced Standard Equipment: Introduction of a heat pump across all versions and a 12-inch multimedia screen on specific trims.
- Improved Efficiency: The addition of a heat pump significantly boosts efficiency by utilizing excess heat from the battery and motor.
- Increased Safety Features: Inclusion of contextual adaptive cruise control as standard across mid and top-range models.
- Extended Range: With the heat pump, the vehicle’s range can increase by up to 9% in cooler temperatures.
The Megane E-Tech now features a heat pump in every model, following high customer demand. This system efficiently recovers and utilizes heat from the battery and motor to maintain optimal cabin temperature and maximize range. With the heat pump, the vehicle’s range can increase significantly, particularly when the outside temperature falls below 10°C.
Moreover, both the Techno Comfort range and Iconic Comfort range trim levels have been upgraded to include a 12-inch OpenR Link multimedia screen and contextual adaptive cruise control without raising costs. This is credited to production efficiencies allowing Renault to reduce the on-the-road (OTR) price by £500.
The vehicle is not only feature-rich but also designed for optimal comfort and convenience. It includes automatic wipers and headlamps, automatic climate control, LED daytime running lights, heated front seats, a heated steering wheel, and an Arkamys audio system. The Iconic trim additionally offers a Harmon Kardon audio system.
On a practical note, the Megane E-Tech electric offers up to 280 miles (WLTP) on a single charge. Its 130 kW DC charger enables quick battery recovery, providing up to 186 miles in just 30 minutes. Powered by a 60kWh battery and a robust electric motor delivering 220hp and 300Nm, this vehicle is designed to meet both everyday and long-distance travel needs efficiently.
