Renault has unveiled the new Megane E-Tech electric, bringing a sharper design, improved electric performance, enhanced onboard technology and a simplified trim line-up.
The updated Megane E-Tech electric features a more dynamic exterior design, with a remodelled front end and stronger road presence. Apart from the headlights, all front-end components are new.
It is also slightly taller, by 20mm, due to its larger battery. It retains key design features from the original model, including a generous wheelbase, distinctive wheel arches, a sloping roofline, high waistline and flush door handles.
The range has been restructured around two trim levels: ‘Techno’ and ‘Esprit Alpine’. Techno features a body-coloured front bumper trim and new 19-inch alloy wheels. Esprit Alpine adds specific 20-inch alloy wheels and distinctive design details.
The new Megane E-Tech electric is powered by a new motor that uses no rare earth materials. It develops 220hp and 300Nm of torque.
It is paired with a new 67kWh usable LFP battery, delivering a claimed range of up to 500km. DC rapid charging power increases to 165kW. It also has an 11kW AC charger and vehicle-to-load capabilities.
The cockpit is centred around Renault’s openR link system, with an inverted L-shaped twin-screen layout combining a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster and a 12-inch multimedia screen as standard across all versions.
The refreshed Renault Megane E-Tech electric is expected to go on sale in Ireland before the end of 2026. Pricing and specification will be announced closer to then.
