The Renault Megane E-Tech is a stylish hatch/mini SUV mash-up, and the first purpose-built electric car to be sold in Australia by the venerable French manufacturer . It replaces, rather than supplements, the long-running petrol Megane.$64,990 plus on-road costs. On this market, there is only one equipment level, which is generous though not market leading, and one motor-battery combo.A front-mounted motor with 160 kW and 300 Nm, driving the front wheels.
Because it is the best-looking Renault we’ve seen for quite some time, with its short overhangs, huge wheels , and rising shoulder meeting a falling roofline. Because it’s made in Europe in a new ultra-green French factory. It’s a fun drive too, with direct steering and instant punch while on the move. That said, acceleration off the line is quite muted even in Sport mode, presumably to reduce wheelspin, and the wet roads during our test drive didn’t flatter the front-end grip .
There is no great innovation here, though for some buyers the chic lines will be enough. Enthusiasts will prefer rear-wheel drive, though Renault argues for front-drive for reasons of familiarity and safety. It says when the grip breaks away it does so more gently and can be more easily corrected by a simple lift of the throttle. That argument would have been stronger before we gained stability control and other electronic chassis smarts.
