Renault teases Mégane E-Tech Electric ahead of pre-production testing this summer
The Mégane goes all-electric, taking its design cues from the Renault Mégane eVision Concept. This next-generation model will be based on Renault-Nissan’s Common Module Family EV platform (CMF-EV) which debuts underneath the upcoming Nissan Ariya SUV.
Renault’s Mégane has been on sale since 1995, but 2022 marks possibly the most dramatic shift in the French marque’s small car line-up as the Mégane goes all-electric. Taking its design cues from the Renault Mégane eVision Concept, the next-generation model will be based on Renault-Nissan’s Common Module Family EV platform (CMF-EV) which debuts underneath the upcoming Nissan Ariya SUV.
The Mégane E-Tech Electric features a 160kW (217hp) e-motor and a 60kWh battery pack enabling up to 451 km (280 mi) of range on the WLTP cycle.
Pre-production engineering test vehicles will commence testing on public roads in France this summer.
There’s no word from Renault Australia on whether the Mégane E-Tech would make it down under; local importer Ateco Group pulled the Zoe EV from the Australian market in 2020 due to poor sales numbers, shipping delays, lacklustre dealer enthusiasm and limited government support for zero-emissions vehicles.
