Here it is: Renault's answer to the VW ID3, the Mégane E-Tech. Swapping a typical hatchback body for a bulkier, crossover-like stance, the E-Tech is the next EV in Renault's range ⚡
Further differentiating it from the Ariya, the Mégane is available with front-wheel drive only. After all, Renault emphatically positions it as a hatchback rather than crossover or SUV. And although the battery pack in the floor gives the new car a taller, chunkier aesthetic than the old Mégane, it’s definitely not an SUV.
Inside the cabin, it's a stylish open space with flexible storage areas. Renault has successfully used some interesting materials to lift the ambience, but it's also marred by plenty of hard plastics.The interior is dominated of course by twin screens for the gauge cluster and infotainment and Renault is particularly proud of the latter, which now runs Android Automotive, Google’s platform for cars’ built-in multimedia systems – not to be confused with Android Auto smartphone mirroring.
It’s quite pleasing how different from its rivals the Mégane is in its interior and its mechanical layout, and that theme continues in how it drives, even if that’s not always for the better. It rides remarkably firmly, but calmly, not unlike the Born. However, the Mégane’s 20in wheels seem to introduce a bit more brittleness over potholes than in the Cupra. Even so, it’s far more comfortable than you might expect, given those massive wheels.
That power output results in a 0-62mph time of 7.5sec. Pleasantly brisk for a hatchback, in other words. The drive modes allow you to make the accelerator as mellow or as jumpy as you like, and steering wheel paddles control the level of regen, although there is no true one-pedal mode. Mostly standard EV fare, then.
