Renault Megane E-Tech hatchback

A compact hatchback 4199 mm long on a 2685 mm wheelbase, weighing 1624-1650 kg — noticeably lighter than most electric rivals.

Versions

The base version has a 40 kWh battery and a 129 hp motor with 250 Nm for 300 km of WLTP range. The main version uses a 60 kWh battery and a 215 hp, 300 Nm motor for 450-470 km and 0-100 km/h in 7.5 seconds.

Drive is to the front wheels, with the motor mounted at the front.

Highlights

The battery is just 110 mm thick — among the slimmest on the market — which preserves a normal seating position instead of the floor-sitting feel typical of EVs.
