Renault has confirmed full pricing and specification of the All-New Mégane E-Tech 100% Electric, which is available to pre-order now priced from £35,995 OTR with first deliveries expected later in the year.




To make it even simpler for customers to make the transition from a conventional petrol or diesel vehicle to the All-New Renault Mégane E-Tech, available PCP finance packages encompass both the new crossover and the supply and installation of a Mobilize home charging solution. This 'turn-key' package costs £1,170 allowing customers to enjoy their new electric vehicle ownership experience with the minimum of fuss and maximum convenience.

EXTERIOR DESIGN
The All-New Mégane E-Tech is a car of purposeful proportions. An extended wheelbase with reduced overhangs, a thinner-than-ever battery, and alloy wheels up to 20 inches in size combine with the high waistline and coupe-like styling to deliver a powerful stance that marries beautifully with its generous cabin space.



Six inviting colours are available – Ceramic Grey, Shadow Grey, Glacier White, Diamond Black, Ceramic Grey, Flame Red, and Midnight Blue – with the choice of a contrasting roof design in either Diamond Black, Shadow Grey, depending on model.

INTERIOR DESIGN
Electric by nature, the All-New Mégane E-Tech offers driver and passengers alike an obstacle-free environment with exceptional comfort and state-of-the-art technology.

Inspired by the world of fine home furniture, the All-New Mégane E-Tech uses unusual or recycled materials to create a welcoming and homely feel. The dashboard is topped with a textile finish, while the seat upholstery on mid-range Techno models and above is 100% recycled.

Powered by the latest-generation Qualcomm Snapdragon processor, the high-resolution 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster combines with the 9-inch OpenR infotainment display to deliver an unprecedented connected experience.


Google's Android Automotive OS, based on the operating system used by more than 75% of the world's smartphones, provides access to Google Maps and Google Assistant as well as a host of applications offered through the Google Play store.

Standard on mid-range Techno models and above, the fully-connected system also offers the ability to update the software over-the-air, delivering upgrades and improvements over time without the need to visit a dealership.

An innovative Google Electric Route Planner takes the worry out of long journeys by planning an optimal route, suggesting compatible charging points along the way and constantly updating the route according to the vehicle's actual energy use. The system will even warn the driver should a proposed charging station be out of order prior to arrival and its compatibility to the car.

Through the My Renault app, customers can maintain a permanent connection with their Mégane E-Tech with a wide variety of functions, such as remote activation of air conditioning or cabin heating with no impact on vehicle range while still plugged-in, schedule charging times, pay automatically when using compatible charging stations, and more.

POWERTRAIN
Powered by a new 160 kW electric motor with 300 Nm of torque and four levels of regenerative braking, the All-New Mégane E-Tech takes the joy of driving an electric vehicle to new heights.

The new motor is particularly compact and weighs only 145 kg – 10% less than the previous generation motor currently used by Zoe – and doesn't require the use of rare earth metals. In the Mégane E-Tech, the new traction motor is capable of accelerating from 0-62 mph in just 7.5 seconds, but is also capable of remarkable efficiency, consuming just 16.1 Wh per 62 miles.

The 60 kWh battery is just as innovative. At only 110 mm – 40% smaller than the Zoe battery – it is the thinnest on the market, meaning the centre of gravity is lower (-90mm compared to Mégane ICE) and the car is more agile. Weight is evenly distributed thanks to the battery being housed under the whole floor plate.

The All-New Mégane E-Tech is capable of up to 280 miles (WLTP) on a single charge, while recharging can be achieved in a variety of ways to suit the available infrastructure, from a simple domestic socket, a 7.4 kW Wallbox, public charging stations up to 22 kW, and even DC fast-chargers up to 130 kW. The latter permits up to 186 miles of driving range (WLTP) to be recovered in just 30 minutes.

SAFETY AND DRIVER ASSISTANCE
The All-New Renault Mégane E-Tech is fitted with a host of Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) as standard, from automatic emergency braking with junction assist that can detect pedestrians and cyclists, to emergency lane keeping assist with oncoming traffic and road-edge detection.

Traffic sign recognition, hill start assist, driver drowsiness alert, distance warning alert and cruise control with speed limiter all help to make driving easier and safer in the conditions we find ourselves every day.

Techno and above models also feature a new adaptive cruise control function that works in conjunction with traffic sign recognition to ensure the New Mégane E-Tech can automatically adjust its speed to match the prevailing speed limit.

The range-topping Launch Edition is equipped with a smart rear-view mirror that uses a camera located at the top of the rear window to display a real-time view of the road behind, giving an entirely unobstructed view regardless of passengers or cargo.

ÚK SPECIFICATIONS AND PRICING
Customers can choose from three generously-equipped models – Equilibre, Techno, and a range-topping Launch Edition – with each benefitting from Renault's 60 kWh battery for a WLTP-certified range of up to 280 miles on a single charge.
