The new Mégane E-Tech Electric virtually embodies Renault's "Nouvelle Vague," a product offensive designed to set standards in the automotive industry. The Mégane E-Tech Electric sees itself as part of a larger electric ecosystem.
It therefore also has the technical prerequisite for bidirectional charging, i.e. it can feed electricity back into the grid using vehicle-to-grid technology (V2G).
Renault, Nissan and Mitsubishi alliance
The new Mégane is built on the modular CMF EV platform from the Renault-Nissan-Mitsubishi alliance. This results in an overall length of 4.21 meters as well as a long wheelbase and short overhangs.
The new model rolls on 18- or 20-inch wheels. It is powered in two output variants by 96- or 160-kW synchronous engines (130 or 218 hp, 205 or 300 Nm). The Frenchman sprints from 0 to 100 km/h in 7.4 seconds.
470 kilometer range with 60 kWh battery pack
The driver can choose between four recuperation levels, and up to 300 kilometers can be covered on one charge of the 40-kWh battery. The 60 kWh battery can even cover 470 kilometers.
The Mégane E-Tech can be charged at the 7.4-kW wallbox in eight hours. At a 22-kW charging station, power for 50 kilometers is stored in 30 minutes, and up to 300 kilometers can be covered in the same time.
Instrument carrier made from recycled plastics
Renault produces the new Mégane at its Douai site in northern France. Sustainability is an important aspect there.
For example, 27.2 kilograms of the visible and invisible parts of the instrument carrier are made from recycled plastics. 95 percent of the vehicle, which weighs 1620 kilograms, can be recycled at the end of its life cycle.
