TL;DR Summary: Autogefühl delivers an extensive road test of the Renault Megane E-Tech Electric, praising its compact agility, multi-link rear suspension setup, benchmark Android Automotive infotainment with native Google Maps, and tasteful recycled cabin textiles, while finding fault with twitchy arcade-like steering off-center, three crowded right-hand stalks, and flat depth perception from the digital rear mirror.
Key Pros 👍
- Benchmark-setting Android Automotive operating system with seamless native Google Maps and swift responses „this infotainment system is really interesting because it is android automotive... you have native google maps embed and that is of course an awesome thing to have really responsive that's how it's done how the bmw must say this vw spend billions on their own infotainment systems and they fail this one is faster it's better” ▶️ 00:05:50
- Nimble driving dynamics underpinned by a short footprint, low center of gravity, and sophisticated multi-link rear axle „it feels very compact it is compact and suspension is not too bad because remember this multi-link rear rear axle or rear suspension that's also very rare for a vehicle in this size here... since it's short and you have the low center of gravity it's really a lot of fun to drive” ▶️ 00:17:51
- Inviting Scandinavian lounge ambiance utilizing 100% recycled seat fabrics complemented by physical HVAC dials „the seats are from 100 recycled material that is great here you have the bright fabric scandinavian furniture design style... somewhere below the screen that's really interesting here still real knobs for climate unit vent strength and so on so that's a good user interface” ▶️ 00:03:04
Key Cons 👎
- Hyper-reactive and artificial steering calibration that can feel nervous and videogame-like during rapid inputs „when you turn the steering a little bit more... when you apply a little bit too much of that steering you feel like putting that car all over the place so... when you push that searing too far it reacts a little bit too harsh to arcade li too much in a computer game simulation or something” ▶️ 00:13:02
- Ergonomically compromised steering column stacking three separate control stalks on the right side „here this is in the shifting lever drive reverse park and then you have a second stock here for the wipers and it's really close to each other and you can mistake one for another while driving and then there's even a third one... three stockholms on one side” ▶️ 00:05:12
- Digital rear-view mirror projects a flat 2D image that impedes real-world depth and distance judgement „when i look at a screen this just fakes three dimensions it's not really three dimensions it's a 2d screen and that's why i can't really estimate the distances you know so i see more in a way but i see less in the sense of i have a feeling what's going on behind me and where is that vehicle” ▶️ 00:14:22
🎯 Verdict: The Renault Megane E-Tech Electric shines as one of the most agile and technologically accomplished compact electric vehicles on sale today, though the hyper-direct steering ratio and confusingly bunched column stalks require driver adjustment.

TL;DR Summary: It's Only Electric evaluates the Renault Megane E-Tech EV60, praising its segment-leading exterior styling over the ID.3 and MG4, seamless Android Automotive Google ecosystem, integrated dual-screen cockpit, and tactile steering wheel controls, while pointing out an annoying start/stop button requirement, cramped wireless charging cubby, lack of regen level memory across drive cycles, and tight rear footroom.
Key Pros 👍
- Striking design aesthetic that handily outclasses segment rivals like the VW ID.3 and MG4 inside and out „this is the best looking car in the segment. It beats the the Volkswagen ID3. It beats the MG4 hands down. Both when it comes to exterior looks and when it comes to interior design, it looks really good.” ▶️ 00:04:43
- Responsive Android Automotive OS with seamless Google Maps and Google Assistant voice integration „this car is running Android Automotive, 12in screen, 12-in screen, great navigation with Google Maps, great integration with the Google Google Assistant. You can use Google Assistant for everything exactly as uh as you do at home.” ▶️ 00:04:01
- Convenient steering-mounted paddle shifters for immediate on-the-fly regenerative braking adjustments „the regen paddles. They are great. I mean, I really miss those in my Tesla and in the ID3. It's easy to change the regen when you need to. They're nicely placed.” ▶️ 00:02:51
Key Cons 👎
- Superfluous physical power button that requires manual activation instead of automated sit-and-drive startup „The first bad thing is this a power button on an EV. This is not necessary anymore. You don't need this. So, every time I enter the car or exit the car, I need to turn on the ignition or turn it off. Totally waste of time.” ▶️ 00:00:21
- Awkwardly cramped wireless charging slot that makes inserting and retrieving large smartphones difficult „A Qi charger needs to be placed or needs to exist in all cars. It does here, but the placing is awful. I mean, you have like 3 cm of space on top of the phone and no space on the sides... very hard to pull your phone out and put your phone in.” ▶️ 00:02:03
- Regenerative braking level fails to save to the user profile and resets every time the car restarts „the car doesn't save the amount of region you set it to on your profile. So, it resets all the time every time you enter the car. So the first thing I need to do is to maximize the region when I enter the car.” ▶️ 00:01:14
🎯 Verdict: The Renault Megane E-Tech EV60 establishes itself as arguably the most stylish and tech-forward electric hatchback in its class, though minor irritants like a redundant power button, unmemorized regen settings, and a tight wireless phone tray slightly diminish daily convenience.

TL;DR Summary: Electrifying provides a fast-paced first look at the refreshed Renault Megane E-Tech, highlighting its new 67 kWh LFP battery pack yielding 311 miles of range, upgraded 165 kW DC fast charging, true one-pedal driving, and standard V2L capability, while noting the lack of an electric tailgate, missing front frunk, and center console knee pinch for tall drivers.
Key Pros 👍
- New 67 kWh LFP battery providing 311 miles of WLTP range and faster 165 kW DC charging reaching 80% in 26 minutes „So, you've now got a 67 kWh battery, which gives you more range. So, you've now got 311 miles, which is about 500 km or so. Uh, and that will charge much quicker as well. So, DC rapid charging, you've got 165 kW DC rapid charging. So, that's 10 to 80% in around 26 minutes.” ▶️ 00:04:57
- True one-pedal driving mode integrated with adjustable steering-mounted regenerative braking paddles „One thing that's new in this new man is your regen braking. You've now got one pedal driving. You've got the flappy paddles at the back here. So, you can flap it all the way over and have yourself some one pedal driving. That's a good thing.” ▶️ 00:04:05
- Standard Vehicle-to-Load (V2L) bidirectional power functionality allowing external devices to run off the battery „Vehicle to load that comes as standard. Now, it's not an option, but it does come as standard, but it means you're going to have to use a little dongle thing so you can plug it in and then plug in your kettle and that kind of stuff.” ▶️ 00:09:00
Key Cons 👎
- Center console structure creates a painful knee intrusion point for taller drivers „If you are of the taller variety, like Mike Ascu from Electrifying, he's 6'7 and he always complains that he whacks his knee against this bit here, which obviously it's not a problem for me, but it's worth noting if you are taller.” ▶️ 00:04:18
- Manual tailgate operation without powered electric lift assistance despite high specification trim „Boot size is slightly bigger, I believe. 440 L... I wish this was electric, but it's not.” ▶️ 00:01:50
- No dedicated front trunk (frunk) under the hood for cable management „there's no frunk. There's no frunk. But that's fine because the boot is absolutely massive.” ▶️ 00:07:12
🎯 Verdict: The facelifted Renault Megane E-Tech smartly elevates its competitive standing through resilient LFP battery chemistry, snappy 165 kW DC charging, and authentic one-pedal driving, remaining a formidable family hatchback despite absent frunk storage.

TL;DR Summary: Mat Watson reviews the Renault Megane E-Tech EV60, praising its concept-car styling, nimble 1,700 kg driving dynamics, and standard 22 kW AC charging capability, while highlighting tight rear foot space, a massive luggage loading lip without a false floor, and crowded steering column stalks.
Key Pros 👍
- Standard 22 kW AC onboard charging provides rapid destination charging compared to most rivals restricted to 11 kW. „this car comes with 22 kilowatt AC charging as standard which is really handy if you have to use public charging a lot of cars actually only have 11 kilowatts” ▶️ 00:11:32
- Relatively low curb weight of 1,700 kg results in nimble handling and a composed, sophisticated suspension setup. „This one is relatively light for an electric car it weighs in 1700 kilos as a result the suspension isn't overly firm it has a taut feeling to it but it's not uncomfortable it actually feels quite sophisticated” ▶️ 00:13:35
- Attractive interior cockpit ambiance with responsive dual screens and premium fabric dash trim. „Brenda's done a good job on the interior design of this car as well like the way you've got this cockpit effect the way the screens wrap around you the multi-contour dash you've got fabric on it which makes it look expensive” ▶️ 00:02:28
Key Cons 👎
- Huge trunk loading lip and absence of an adjustable boot floor creates an inconvenient step when loading bulky items. „also there's this huge huge huge low lip to lift stuff over... when you fall down the rear seats you'll see because there's no false floor you like you get on some competitors to rise it up there's a massive Ridge there” ▶️ 00:08:03
- Restricted foot room under front seats and low rear bench cushion offer limited thigh support for adult passengers. „foot space is cramped even though you've got a completely flat floor... in order to create the Headroom they've had to mount the seat quite low and as a result you can see I haven't got much under thigh support and when you combine that with the cramped foot space it's not the comfiest card to sit in the back of” ▶️ 00:05:53
- Overcrowded steering column stalk cluster causes accidental wiper or audio activation when operating the gear selector. „there are too many levers on the right hand side of the steering wheel so you have your normal windswing wipers it's fine but then you have your drive select lever there and it's quite close to that sometimes you knock it when you're selecting mode and then Renault also has the controls for the stereo here” ▶️ 00:09:42
🎯 Verdict: The Renault Megane E-Tech EV60 impresses with sharp styling, a high-tech cabin, and agile road manners bolstered by class-leading 22 kW AC charging, though compromised rear passenger foot space and an unassisted deep cargo loading sill slightly detract from its practical family appeal.

TL;DR Summary: Mat Watson reviews the Renault Megane hatchback, highlighting its striking concept-car exterior styling, supple ride comfort, and large portrait touchscreen, but noting vague steering, stodgy manual and automatic gearboxes, and an awkwardly stepped boot floor.
Key Pros 👍
- The suspension delivers very compliant, comfortable ride quality that irons out road imperfections on motorway journeys. „it's very very comfortable the suspension does a fantastic job of ironing out the bumps in the road and on the whole it's a really quiet relaxing Cruiser on the motorway” ▶️ 00:03:31
- Striking and distinctive concept-car exterior styling with bold LED lighting and sculpted proportions. „I love the design it it looks like a concept car with that for the front headlights and that big grille and the back the back especially is really beautiful” ▶️ 00:00:13
- Large portrait touchscreen infotainment on higher trims offers intuitive menu navigation and upscale ambiance. „it's got this huge portrait screen here which is the kind of thing you only get on real top-end cars it looks wonderful dead easy to use as well” ▶️ 00:00:57
Key Cons 👎
- Deep trunk loading lip and absence of a variable height false floor leaves a massive ridge when rear seats are folded. „the first thing to note is this huge well as a deep low blip and then this is a huge bumper which is well if you suitcases are heavy that's going to be a real pain in the back... when you fold the seats down yeah look at that you get a massive Ridge there” ▶️ 00:01:53
- Steering lacks road feedback at speed with overly light, artificial weighting across driving modes. „the steering well it just feels a little bit too light means great in tan that is but when you go faster it's got all the resistance but big fluffy souffle... but then it feels well a bit weird and odd a bit like souffle” ▶️ 00:03:48
- Gearbox shift action feels stodgy and unrewarding, whether selecting manual or automatic transmissions. „In fact the controls the brakes and especially the gearshift it's all a bit stodgy oh and the auto isn't that good either” ▶️ 00:04:07
🎯 Verdict: The Renault Megane family hatchback delivers standout exterior presence, commendable cruising suppleness, and cutting-edge touchscreen interfaces on upper trims, though stodgy transmissions, disconnected steering feel, and an unrefined luggage bay lip temper the driving experience.

TL;DR Summary: CarGurus UK compares the Renault Megane E-Tech Electric against the Cupra Born, praising the Megane's supple ride quality, agile low-weight chassis, Google-powered infotainment, and physical switchgear, while noting compromises in rear-seat room, boot loading lip height, and winter driving efficiency.
Key Pros 👍
- Agile and well-composed handling with minimal body roll and a smoother ride than key competitors „Renault says it's worked hard at keeping the weight low for them again and it reaps the rewards with surprisingly agile handling it rides fairly smoothly there's plenty of grip and not too much in the way of body roll” ▶️ 00:05:37
- Convenient steering wheel paddles providing intuitive multi-level regenerative braking control „another area where the McGann beats the born is that it has paddles on the steering wheel that allow you to adjust the level of regenerative braking and the Cooper only offers a single level of braking battery Regen” ▶️ 00:07:25
- Intuitive Google-developed infotainment system paired with physical buttons for essential functions „at least there are some actual physical buttons for key controls such as the multi-sense button on the steering wheel that lets you toggle easily between the various Drive modes the infotainment system itself meanwhile is a Google develop setup with excellent voice integration” ▶️ 00:04:34
Key Cons 👎
- Deep luggage compartment with an awkwardly high loading lip that complicates cargo loading „thing is though the majority of the space in the Megan's boot is in depth meaning there's an irritatingly high lip to pull stuff over” ▶️ 00:03:10
- Front-wheel-drive configuration leads to traction loss and wheelspin during spirited acceleration „the front wheel drive setup in the Megan means it has a tiny little bit less traction under hard acceleration than the rear-wheel drive Cooper as the weight transfers away from the front wheels in everyday driving though aside from the occasional Scrabble for grip” ▶️ 00:05:15
- Tighter rear passenger quarters exacerbated by an upswept window line creating a darker ambiance „of the two though it's the Megan that's slightly less roomy in the rear and the rising door window line makes it a Touch gloomier Too” ▶️ 00:03:33
🎯 Verdict: The Renault Megane E-Tech Electric establishes itself as a cohesive and comfortable compact EV that surpasses rivals in ergonomics and agility, despite minor drawbacks regarding boot accessibility and rear passenger visibility.

TL;DR Summary: Autogefühl examines the all-new Renault Megane E-Tech Electric, highlighting its game-changing Android Automotive system with native Google services, multi-link rear suspension architecture, and space-efficient compact packaging, while pointing out the omission of a front frunk, capacitive steering wheel buttons, and hard plastic surfaces.
Key Pros 👍
- Revolutionary Android Automotive infotainment providing seamless native Google Maps and rapid user response „this one here is a google infotainment system and that's of course awesome wow who would have expected that that we know goes for this one this is really groundbreaking for the whole brand... and all the premium manufacturers they have suddenly a worse infotainment system than renault and that's of course shocking such an easy solution to go for the google solution and have you know actually good speed and especially the best voice recognition system” ▶️ 00:06:47
- Advanced multi-link rear suspension engineering that enhances ride comfort beyond segment conventions „interesting technology detail they will use multi-link rear axles so you will have more comfort at the rear especially if you compare it with other models so this is not that common in this rather short segment so that's actually quite good” ▶️ 00:02:15
- Remarkable space packaging accommodating four tall adults inside an ultra-compact 4.21-meter footprint with a flat floor „it's not like plentiful but still my knees fit in here you can drive this car with four tall adults although it's just four meters 20. that's really astonishing so very impressed by the dimensions and of course using the ev platform you can very well sit in the middle here as well there is no middle tunnel whatsoever” ▶️ 00:09:25
Key Cons 👎
- Total absence of a front trunk (frunk) for charging cable storage underneath the bonnet „let's take a look under the hood we have a frank or something no there's a no franc you can see there will be two different power versions” ▶️ 00:02:37
- Inclusion of capacitive multifunction controls on the steering wheel spokes prone to accidental activation „an all-new interior with capacitive buttons hashtag capacitive curse on the scene well this is a real one but here we go there's a button one field we see that with so many manufacturers” ▶️ 00:03:31
- Hard, unpadded plastic moldings on top of the dashboard and upper door trims showing cost-cutting measures „here this is a very interesting structure so new materials are being used also here this one however on the top part is hard pack... in the top part here this is rather hard actually here from the dashboard” ▶️ 00:03:13
🎯 Verdict: The Renault Megane E-Tech Electric successfully reinvented the nameplate with clever short-footprint packaging, class-beating Google connectivity, and a supple multi-link rear axle, although missing front storage and selective hard cabin plastics reflect subtle compromises.

TL;DR Summary: Autogefuel evaluates the Renault Megane E-Tech 220 HP in Esprit Alpine specification, praising its muscular styling, low and connected driving position, usable electric powertrain performance, and dedicated physical HVAC switchgear, while pointing out compromised rear headroom, frustrating piano black plastics, and an overloaded right-hand steering column.
Key Pros 👍
- Low-slung and deeply connected driver seating position delivering genuine road engagement unlike upright EV crossovers „a lot of cars especially EVs give you the feeling that you sit on top of the car uh and that you're sort of being dragged along here because it's a low sleek car uh you really feel that you're sort of part of the equation and connected to the vehicle when you're sitting here in the driver position” ▶️ 00:11:08
- Exemplary cabin ergonomics featuring dedicated physical switches for climate control and windows „What is not too much is the fact that there is physical controls for the ventilation and the ka. Excellent. Very well done, Renault. Other car makers, if you're watching, you can just copy that. Just steal it blatantly. Fine. This this is the way we want it to be. We have real buttons for the windows” ▶️ 00:05:11
- Accessible 220 hp electric powertrain offering immediate yet controllable overtaking performance for real-world driving „With 220 horsepower you do have that comfort all the time. Uh but also you have the option to actually deploy all that power and get on the gas and use it. And it's not necessarily that I need to sit here and have my foot to the floor all the time, but it is just nicer that the power is way more accessible” ▶️ 00:12:06
Key Cons 👎
- Ubiquitous smudge-prone piano black plastic covering the steering wheel buttons and lower spoke „The first thing is the use of piano black on the steering wheel. That is a disaster in itself. As you know, if you watch most of our videos, I comment on that if it's in a car here. It's especially bad because all the buttons are piano black and this uh lower spoke is piano black and it is constantly smudgy. It is gross.” ▶️ 00:04:01
- Overly cluttered right-hand steering column cramming five separate controls and stalks into one tight space „here on the right side of the steering wheel, it is far too busy and far too complicated. There is way too much going on here. I got the multisense button for driving modes. Then I got my normal system control uh phone and voice commands. Then I got a flipper for the regen braking. Then I have the Renault media knob. Then I have my uh wiper controls. And I have the drive selector.” ▶️ 00:04:37
- Tight rear passenger headroom and slit-like letterbox rear glass compromising rearward visibility „You can see that I'm basically touching the roof with my head already and I'm 1 m 83 tall. So anybody taller than me will not be able to sit here. Besides the headroom, the amount of light that you get back here is also not optimal... When you look behind me, you can see the letter box rear window. That really is only a letter box slit to see through.” ▶️ 00:13:33
🎯 Verdict: The Renault Megane E-Tech 220 HP delivers a distinctive, athletic alternative in the compact electric hatchback segment with commendable real-world driving manners and tactile climate controls, despite ergonomic missteps in steering stalk clustering and rear seat packaging.

TL;DR Summary: Andrew Till (Mr. EV) assesses the Renault Megane E-Tech Techno after three months of ownership, celebrating its rapid 22 kW AC destination charging, effortless Google Automotive navigation, comfortable seating, and tasteful interior trim, while lamenting its crowded steering column stalks, lack of charging rate readout on the cluster, resetting regen settings, and substantial price premium over the MG4.
Key Pros 👍
- Standout 22 kW AC three-phase onboard charging capability slashing replenishment times at public destination posts „the superpower of this car is that it charges at 22 kilowatts on an AC charger and you might be thinking why is that important the wall box we've got is seven kilowatts... if you've got three phase you can go up to 22 kilowatts and a lot of AC charges or destination charges when you go out and about ones in that might be in car parks if they're 22 kilowatts that means that you're charging so much quicker on this car” ▶️ 00:07:10
- Exemplary Google Maps route planning with pinpoint destination state-of-charge predictions and voice command integration „the other fantastic thing about the infotainment system is the maps... it tells me exactly where to charge to get down to Rome and it says I'm going to get to Rome with 31 that is brilliant... you can sit in your car you don't have to plan anything sit in your car think where should I go today do the destination and it will tell you good accuracy what your battery percentage is” ▶️ 00:02:45
- Refined interior ambiance highlighted by tactile premium fabrics, clear displays, and accessible physical switchgear „I still really like it in here I love The Classy Fabrics you've got lots of options on here the screen is beautifully clear both the screens in fact I love these physical controls and my wife likes that as well” ▶️ 00:02:25
Key Cons 👎
- Congested steering column layout where the gear selector stalk is placed awkwardly close to the wiper stalk „the gear selection is in a stupid place it's another stalk and an otherwise busy steering wheel and it is too close to the windscreen wipers something that my wife gets really annoyed about” ▶️ 00:09:52
- Omission of a live charging speed readout on the driver instrument display during charging sessions „one thing that this car really gets annoyingly wrong is the fact that it doesn't show me the charging speed on the dashboard simple stuff it should when you're plugged into a charger you want to see what kind of speed you're getting” ▶️ 00:10:43
- Steep retail price positioning almost ten thousand pounds higher than equivalent mainstream rivals „the top spec Megan is 41 995. crazy prices on it but then of course you've got the mg4 and the top spec mg4 is 32 495. which makes this seem quite a bit well it seems quite steep doesn't it right so that's 9 500 pounds less” ▶️ 00:14:28
🎯 Verdict: The Renault Megane E-Tech proves to be a deeply satisfying and stylish family EV over long-term testing with 22 kW AC charging standing out as a rare superpower, provided buyers can overlook its crowded stalk cluster and significant price markup over budget rivals.

TL;DR Summary: What Car? provides a comprehensive first look at the facelifted Renault Megane E-Tech, highlighting its enlarged 67 kWh battery delivering 310 miles of range, quicker 165 kW DC fast charging, and clever interior tech, while observing unchanged drawbacks including tight rear passenger space, grabby urban brakes, and a pronounced boot loading lip.
Key Pros 👍
- Larger 67 kWh battery boosting WLTP range to 310 miles paired with upgraded 165 kW DC rapid charging „Where this Megane scores big points over its predecessor is with its battery, because it's grown in size to have a usable capacity of 67 kWh. That translates to a WLTP range of 310 miles... the Megane can now accept charge at a higher rate than before with peak speeds of 165 kilowatts.” ▶️ 00:01:51
- Class-leading 440-litre cargo capacity holding up to seven carry-on suitcases beneath the parcel shelf „Things are a bit better when it comes to the Megane's boot because, as with the old car, there's 440 L of storage space inside... we found we could fit seven carry-on suitcases back here below this cover. That's one more than the Cupra Born can manage and two more than the MG4.” ▶️ 00:07:11
- Intuitive cabin ergonomics preserving physical climate switchgear beneath sharp Google-powered infotainment „And, like the old Megane, it is fantastic to see physical climate controls. These are so much easier to use on the move than having to use voice assistants or touchscreen controls.” ▶️ 00:06:06
Key Cons 👎
- Grabby low-speed braking modulation that makes smooth deceleration difficult in urban traffic „The other problem is the Megane's brakes, because around town they have a tendency to be quite grabby, making it difficult to slow down and stop consistently. Now, Renault says it hasn't fiddled with those in any way” ▶️ 00:03:24
- Restricted rear cabin space with compromised headroom, knee room, and under-seat foot room for adults „If I sit up straight, my head is brushing against the car's roof lining. There isn't enough space for my feet under the seat in front of me, and plenty of electric car rivals have more in the way of knee room.” ▶️ 00:06:29
- Awkwardly deep luggage sill requiring heavy items to be hoisted over a tall threshold „There is a downside, though, which I can demonstrate with this handy dog bed accessory. And, that is this high loading lip. You need to first heave your items over that before putting them down into the boot.” ▶️ 00:07:32
🎯 Verdict: The facelifted Renault Megane E-Tech significantly sharpens its competitive edge through expanded battery capacity and faster DC charging, but retains minor legacy packaging drawbacks in rear passenger accommodation and low-speed brake modulation.

- Competitive pricing structure that heavily undercuts mainstream PHEV rivals like the Volkswagen Golf GTE and Seat Leon „and this figure undercuts by around 2 500 pounds phev versions of the set leon and the skoda drock tarvia you would spend more on a phev peugeot and the volkswagen golf gte plug-in model is around 6 000 pounds more” ▶️ 00:08:50
- Clever F1-inspired clutchless multi-mode transmission featuring an aggressive B-mode regenerative braking setting „this plug-in hybrid megan's gearbox is an auto of course but of the more unusual dog box clutchless variety and it offers an extra b mode which maximizes regenerative braking to the point where you'll hardly ever have to use the actual brake pedal” ▶️ 00:03:05
- Practical 30-mile WLTP pure-electric driving range with ultra-low CO2 qualifying for 10% benefit-in-kind company tax „a plug-in setup offering up to 30 miles of wltp all-electric range quite enough to cover most people's daily commute... super low 10 percent benefiting kind taxation rating” ▶️ 00:01:19
Key Cons 👎
- Nearly 400 kg battery and hybrid hardware penalty that blunts agility and body control over uneven roads „inevitably all of this clever tech carries quite a weight penalty nearly 400 kilos which has an effect on both ride quality and cornering body control” ▶️ 00:03:41
- Constrained rear legroom and knee clearance despite the car's generous external width and wheelbase „now despite this fourth generation megan's relatively lengthy wheelbase and the fact that it's one of the widest cars in the class accommodation here is quite tight... unless the passengers ahead of you are quite short you won't find very much space for your knees and legs” ▶️ 00:06:24
- Luggage volume compromised by 116 litres due to battery placement, burdened by an awkward load lip „lift the tailgate you'll find the openings good square shape but this high still will make it a bit awkward to get heavier items in inside the space that you get falls by 116 litres over what you get in a conventionally engine tce 140 petrol model” ▶️ 00:06:46
🎯 Verdict: The Renault Megane E-Tech Plug-In Hybrid represents a highly rational stepping stone toward full electrification, delivering low taxation and smooth daily electric commuting at an accessible price point, though heavy battery mass and packaging compromises remain apparent.

TL;DR Summary: House of Cars presents a detailed first look at the revised Renault Megane E-Tech, highlighting its durable 67 kWh LFP battery pack yielding 311 miles of range, upgraded 165 kW DC fast charging, native Google Gemini AI assistant, and premium cabin craftsmanship, while observing lingering compromises in elevated rear-seat floor height, dark rear cabin ambiance, and three crowded column stalks.
Key Pros 👍
- New 67 kWh LFP battery pack enabling 311 miles of WLTP range and faster 165 kW DC rapid charging „So, it has a new 67 kWh LFP battery that delivers up to 500 km or 311 mi of WLTP range. It has faster DC charging, increased now to 165 kW, meaning a 15 to 80% charge in round about 24 minutes.” ▶️ 00:03:21
- Pioneering Google Gemini conversational AI integration for intuitive natural voice navigation and commands „It now has Google Gemini AI integration, one of the first mainstream EVs to integrate Google's Gemini Assistant directly into the car... And it's a more natural conversation you can have with the car.” ▶️ 00:03:54
- Premium interior build quality highlighted by carpet-lined door bins and tactile physical HVAC switchgear „We've still got, you know, the the physical ventilation controls along the bottom here. That's nice and easy to use, you know, just by resting your heel of your hand here. And they're great for just reaching across and you can do it with muscle memory... The armrest padded, the door bins are lined with carpet, so things don't rattle around. And there's just that feeling, as I say, of premium quality” ▶️ 00:17:15
Key Cons 👎
- High floorpan pushes adult rear passengers' knees upward while restricting foot clearance beneath the front seats „There's a downside a little bit with the Megane in terms of the space when you're in the back of it. The battery just feels obviously it's underneath the car, so it does feel like it's pushed up a tiny little bit. And if you do sit sort of straight on, you can just see that that my legs feel a little bit pushed up. It does feel the floor is a little bit higher. And also as well, when the driver has their seat all the way down on the floor, that does mean that foot space is a little bit limited.” ▶️ 00:11:28
- Dark headliner and dark upholstery in Esprit Alpine trim generate a somber rear cabin environment „The other downside is if you go for something like this and a Spre Alpine trim, which is very nice. Don't get me wrong, it's very sporty looking, but it's very dark in here.” ▶️ 00:11:56
- Awkward steering column configuration clustering three distinct mechanical stalks on the right side „The only maybe downside is these do still have the transmission lever up here, you know, as obviously you've still got the three column stalks down the side rather than buttons down here.” ▶️ 00:17:43
🎯 Verdict: The facelifted Renault Megane E-Tech effectively modernizes its package against tough hatchback rivals with reliable LFP cell chemistry and Gemini AI integration, maintaining its premium appeal despite cramped rear under-thigh support.

TL;DR Summary: Carpire reviews the Renault Megane E-Tech Techno EV60, proclaiming it one of the best electric hatchbacks on the market thanks to its benchmark Google OpenR infotainment, physical climate controls, and agile, low-weight road manners, despite limited rear passenger space and a grabby brake pedal.
Key Pros 👍
- The Google-powered OpenR infotainment system and ergonomic physical climate controls are leagues ahead of rivals like the VW ID.3 and Cupra Born. „this infotainment system is hands down one of the best that we have ever used but just from an ergonomic perspective it is leagues ahead of the Cupra or a Volkswagen ID3” ▶️ 00:01:23
- Lighter curb weight compared to German rivals keeps body roll to a minimum and provides refined highway cruising. „it's around 200 kilos lighter than an ID3 for example there's almost no body roll whatsoever the steering's pretty quick... but this car rides really well it's really quiet and it's really refined it makes it a pretty fantastic Motorway car” ▶️ 00:01:40
- Generous 440-liter cargo capacity outclasses direct competitors due to packaging efficiency without a rear motor. „the boot is big though 440 liters it's a good chunk more than the Cupra or the ID3 the mcgannis front wheel drive you see so it doesn't have a motor on this back axle taking up space” ▶️ 00:07:06
Key Cons 👎
- Brake pedal feel is overly grabby with no genuine one-pedal driving mode available. „there's no one pedal driving which is a bit of a shame but the biggest issue for us is that because there's no one pedal driving you actually rely on the brake pedal a little bit more... and the trouble in this car certainly is that the brake pedal is just a little bit too grabby so it's difficult to drive particularly smoothly” ▶️ 00:05:01
- Rear passenger seating feels dark and cramped with tight knee clearance behind taller drivers and small side windows. „overall though you don't get loads of Headroom either and it just feels really quite dark and and cramped you've got this dark headlining you've got that really small rear window so it just doesn't feel like a hugely spacious car” ▶️ 00:06:30
- The boot opening features a very deep loading well that makes lifting heavy luggage out challenging. „The one thing I would say though is it's very deep so lifting heavy things in and out that's going to be a little bit of a struggle” ▶️ 00:07:19
🎯 Verdict: The Renault Megane E-Tech EV60 represents a triumphant reinvention, pairing standout Google-powered infotainment, high-grade interior ergonomics, and lightweight driving agility against Volkswagen Group competitors, even if tight rear quarters and an abrupt brake pedal require minor compromise.

TL;DR Summary: Marek Drives conducts an in-depth 1,000 km road trip review of the Renault Megane E-Tech EV60 Iconic, praising its head-turning design, stellar city efficiency below 12 kWh/100 km, physical climate buttons with a clever screen finger rest, and agile 10.4-meter turning circle, while criticizing prominent cornering understeer, severely restricted rear passenger quarters, and rainwater dripping into the boot from the tailgate.
Key Pros 👍
- Exceptional urban efficiency falling below 12 kWh/100 km delivering more than 500 km of city driving range „however around the city i managed to get below 12 kilowatt hours which means a theoretical range of more than 500 kilometers helping achieve this range is four stage recuperation which you can set using paddles on the steering wheel” ▶️ 00:07:31
- Commendable cockpit ergonomics retaining physical climate toggles and an anti-slip tactile ledge for touchscreen stability „basic climate control functions are still set with physical buttons for which the designers should receive medals monuments and special pension bonuses i also like this little detail this bit of plastic under the screen has a bit rougher anti-slip texture so i can rest my fingers on it why so that my hand doesn't move about when i'm pressing something on the screen” ▶️ 00:04:26
- Nimble urban agility aided by an ultra-tight 10.4-meter turning circle and 360-degree bird's-eye cameras „maneuvering around the city is easy with the 10.4 meter turning circle also the 360 camera helps you get your bearings i like that the automatic parking brake stays on even after you restart the car” ▶️ 00:12:09
Key Cons 👎
- Heavy curb weight and front-wheel-drive layout trigger heavy understeer when pushed through fast corners „but like other evs also the megan e tag is quick mainly in a straight line faster corners are not for the faint-hearted as the car can understeer heavily... more than 1600 kilograms is a lot for a compact hatchback” ▶️ 00:11:41
- Severely compromised rear cabin space offering minimal adult legroom, foot clearance, or passenger amenities „and what about the rear passengers well i don't think renault planned any there is very little legroom headroom and even the space for feet under the front seats is scarce there is no armrest no cupholders even the door pockets are very narrow” ▶️ 00:12:49
- Defective tailgate runoff design allows rainwater to drip directly inside the cargo hold over a deep threshold „i think a bigger deal is the water dropping into the boot from the wet tailgate just like in the megan 4 and like in the megan 4 also here the boot sill is too high and there's a hump when you fold the seats” ▶️ 00:13:27
🎯 Verdict: The Renault Megane E-Tech EV60 offers standout aesthetics, remarkable city energy economy, and reassuring tactile HVAC ergonomics, though dynamic understeer on twisting roads and neglected rear passenger accommodations limit its broader family appeal.

TL;DR Summary: SDA Dan Cars test-drives the Renault Megane Grandtour E-Tech Plug-in Hybrid in Switzerland, praising its hushed cabin soundproofing, comfortable and compliant suspension damping, supportive RS-Line sport seats, and smooth electric-only urban commute mode, while pointing out the modest resolution of the reversing camera and reduced real-world winter EV range.
Key Pros 👍
- Impressive acoustic cabin soundproofing that effectively isolates external city traffic noise „super silent the insulation inside the car i observed that i also noticed that when i make the other video the review that you can see so many cars outside but inside the cabin it's still very quiet and nice” ▶️ 00:04:56
- Exceptionally comfortable and well-damped suspension that absorbs road imperfections effortlessly „great suspension over the bumps here wow the french are really good on the suspension they did a great job i'm super impressed with what they did with this car it's incredible good guys” ▶️ 00:12:08
- Supportive RS-Line sport seats providing a comfortable and relaxing long-distance driving position „like a proper family car with sporty seats because those seats hold me really really good and tight between them to be honest i feel really good on those seats it's really sporty and um relaxing it's a comfortable relaxing position” ▶️ 00:06:49
Key Cons 👎
- Reversing camera display exhibits mediocre resolution when maneuvering into tight parking spaces „now going in to a reverse you will see that the car come also with a reverse camera that looks okay not the best resolution but pretty good” ▶️ 00:03:59
- Electric-only driving range drops significantly in cold winter weather to around 40 km or less „if you go outside on the highway then the range will be less will be around 50 kilometer but in my experience in the winter time maybe you will have 40 maybe you have less” ▶️ 00:08:00
- AC home charging via standard domestic household sockets is slow, requiring five to six hours for a full charge „if you want to charge it at home at the normal socket probably you will need around five six hours to charge it fully completely” ▶️ 00:07:34
🎯 Verdict: The Renault Megane Grandtour E-Tech Plug-in Hybrid offers an impressive blend of estate wagon practicality, exceptionally plush ride comfort, and serene electric city commuting, though its modest winter EV range and average reversing camera resolution reveal minor compromises.

TL;DR Summary: Masini cu Luci Popa conducts a comprehensive review of the Renault Megane E-Tech Electric (EV60 218 hp), praising its exceptionally low center of gravity, ultra-thin 11 cm battery floor, agile steering response, and real-world efficiency capable of over 500 km, while criticizing the narrow rear window visibility, lack of true one-pedal driving, and overcrowded steering column controls.
Key Pros 👍
- Ultra-thin 11 cm battery structure delivering a low center of gravity and remarkably nimble, responsive steering „the battery has a thickness of 11 cm. It is one of the thinnest batteries you can find on electric models. Another thing, the center of gravity is 9 cm lower than the Megane 4... The direction is incredibly fast. You will not see a car of this class. Which to turn as this car turns.” ▶️ 00:05:55
- Exceptional real-world energy efficiency achieving over 500 km of range with economical driving techniques „Consumption 11.1 kWh. If we do a calculation, it would give me 540 km with a full charge... 126 km with 24% battery. So you can drive over 500 km with this car.” ▶️ 00:07:48
- Thoughtful interior ergonomics combining tactile physical climate controls with clever multi-tiered phone storage and charging „We have physical buttons that are easy to press. A much better solution than what Volkswagen does on ID's or Cupra on the dashboard... I like that we have physical buttons for the A.C. It's appreciated.” ▶️ 00:28:31
Key Cons 👎
- Restricted rearward visibility through the slit-like back window, necessitating the optional camera-based digital rearview mirror „The boot opening button and look how small the window is. It's like a palm... There is a option of a camera mirror because the visibility in the back is not the best the mirror is very very narrow.” ▶️ 00:14:52
- Regenerative braking system lacks true one-pedal driving to bring the car to a full complete stop „If they put One Pedal Driving. It would be even better. But no the car it is really fun to drive.” ▶️ 00:57:33
- Crowded right-side steering column stalks where the gear selector easily interferes with wiper operation „On the right side we have the gear shifter like on Mercedes. Wipers. But many times, who has driven a Mercedes knows that when I want to go into Drive or Reverse I come across the wipers.” ▶️ 00:28:52
🎯 Verdict: The Renault Megane E-Tech Electric proves why it earned critical acclaim, delivering hatchback agility, brilliant Google infotainment, and stellar low-speed energy efficiency, even if rear visibility remains compromised and true one-pedal driving is missing.

TL;DR Summary: Cinch tests the updated Renault Megane E-Tech, highlighting its price reduction, faster Google OpenR infotainment, standard heat pump for all-weather efficiency, and paddle-adjustable regenerative braking, counterbalanced by a deep boot lip and elevated rear floor foot placement.
Key Pros 👍
- Standard heat pump inclusion enhances cold-weather efficiency and ensures more predictable real-world range all year round. „effectively it means it will heat up the car in the colder months much more efficiently that not only means that your battery doesn't have to use up some of its range but it also means this car's Real World Range so all year round whether it's hot or cold will be much more consistent” ▶️ 00:04:32
- Responsive Google-powered multimedia suite with integrated Google Maps and Waze provides smartphone-like speed and convenience. „now we're running Google software built into this technology and so that means it's nice and familiar and it feels a lot like a smartphone plus you get Google Maps and ways built in you don't have to connect your phone” ▶️ 00:03:46
- Steering wheel paddles allow instant switching between heavy regenerative braking and coasting. „Renault has a mode in this car or several modes actually which can be controlled by the paddles behind your steering wheel... then if you don't like that well you can just at the click of this shift paddle here... turn it basically off and make the car Roll Along like AA traditional automatic” ▶️ 00:10:02
Key Cons 👎
- Deep trunk floor lip forces users to lift heavy baggage significantly upward when unloading. „the boot floor is very very low so if you're a dog for example that's going to be pretty intimidating to jump into and of course if you're lifting heavy items out of here well you're going to have to lift them up before you can slide them out” ▶️ 00:03:05
- Raised rear passenger floor due to battery placement limits under-seat foot space if front occupants lower their seats. „my feet are actually a little bit higher and that means if the seat ah head is set too low for you to tuck your toes under well you can and so as you'll see my legs are quite crushed up” ▶️ 00:06:38
- Brake pedal response lacks immediate bite during initial travel before friction deceleration takes hold. „the brake pedal is pretty light although I have to admit not much happens when you first touch the brake pedal you it's only a bit later on that you feel like the brakes actually engaged they're strong enough but they are a little bit unresponsive initially” ▶️ 00:09:25
🎯 Verdict: The revised Renault Megane E-Tech offers strong real-world value with standard heat pump technology, rapid Google infotainment, and paddle-operated regenerative braking, presenting an appealing electric family compact despite a low trunk drop-in and cramped rear footwell clearances.

TL;DR Summary: CarsGuide conducts a long-term wrap review of the Renault Megane E-Tech Techno EV60, highlighting its appealing traditional switchgear, lightweight handling dynamics, and non-intrusive safety systems, while critiquing restricted rear visibility, narrow rear seating quarters, and the lack of a 360-degree camera or true one-pedal mode.
Key Pros 👍
- Thoughtful ergonomics retain dedicated physical climate toggles and physical column stalks rather than burying everything into touchscreen menus. „there's shortcut buttons all the way across this dash for all those core functions you know you've got a defogger auto mode fan speed control temperature for both climate zones as well so it is a very physical car it feels like a traditional combustion car to use” ▶️ 00:06:59
- Lightweight chassis and low battery packaging deliver composed, responsive road manners and superior cabin refinement over rivals like the MG4 and Tesla Model 3. „I think definitely the ride quality and refinement in here is better than the mg4 for example I think as well the refinement in the cabin is probably a bit nicer than a model 3” ▶️ 00:13:32
- Driver assistance and active safety features are discreetly calibrated without irritating alarms or jarring steering corrections. „it's really well calibrated that's one of the things I've noticed maybe the least in my time with this car is how much those safety systems interfere with the Driving Experience because they really don't... it's not violently overcorrecting like some Chinese Rivals do” ▶️ 00:18:49
Key Cons 👎
- Rearward visibility is severely obstructed by a slit-like rear window and mediocre digital rearview mirror depth perception. „it's actually really hard to see out of this cabin because the rear window is just a tiny letter box aspect... if you use it in the digital setting it's really hard to get a depth perception to cars that are behind you” ▶️ 00:15:25
- Rear cabin amenities are sparse with dark claustrophobic ambiance, no center folding armrest, and small door pockets. „it is quite dark as you've probably noticed lots of dark headlining in here really dark trim dark trims in the doors and it is a little bit plasticky back here... there's not even a drop- down armrest or a ski port or anything like that so it's not a very versatile space” ▶️ 00:07:58
- The powertrain lacks a dedicated one-pedal driving mode, relying on blended brake pedal modulation. „I really like a single pedal driving mode but it's not for everyone... but it doesn't have a single pedal driving mode so if that's what you're looking for you might be better off looking at other options” ▶️ 00:15:03
🎯 Verdict: The Renault Megane E-Tech Techno proves to be a refreshing, driver-focused electric hatchback that blends physical ergonomic sensibility, refined lightweight driving dynamics, and sophisticated safety calibration, though claustrophobic rear packaging and narrow rearward sightlines mean it suits couples better than growing families.

TL;DR Summary: SDA Dan Cars examines the updated Renault Megane E-Tech Electric, applauding its new 67 kWh LFP cell-to-pack battery yielding a 500 km range, 165 kW DC fast charging, plush perforated interior seats, and class-leading Google infotainment, while pointing out the lack of matrix headlights, absence of an under-bonnet frunk, and a large stepped hump when folding the rear seats.
Key Pros 👍
- Innovative 67 kWh usable LFP pouch battery architecture delivering superior cycle durability and up to 500 km WLTP range „The car come with a new 67 kWh battery. It's an LFP battery, 67 usable kWh battery. It has a new, let's say, architecture of the battery, something new something that we don't see on other EV until now... and now it's an LFP battery, which have more range and it's more safe, it's more stable and it last longer in time.” ▶️ 00:02:13
- Upgraded 165 kW DC rapid charging taking the battery from 15% to 80% state of charge in 24 minutes „The charging speed is 11 kW standard in AC or optional 22 kW, and in DC, now it's all the way up to 165 kW, which can charge the car from 15 to 80% in 24 minutes. At least, this is what Renault claim regarding the the car.” ▶️ 00:03:05
- Refined and comfortable cabin ergonomics with fully illuminated switchgear, soft touch trims, and perforated eco-leather seats „Here you have soft material, so you have this leatherette around here. Also soft material here. Those are the buttons illuminated. Every single button is illuminated plus the button electric adjustable mirrors... And to be honest, I like much more also the seats on the techno because it has this white interior. You can see they are perforated. Wow, and it's also pretty plushy and soft and nice.” ▶️ 00:09:42
Key Cons 👎
- Stepped cargo floor creating an awkward 15 to 20 cm ridge when folding down the 60/40 rear bench „So, you don't have a flat completely flat floor when you fold down the seat. So, you will still have this hump around here, maybe 15 to 20 cm, but it's so so big. It's really big in terms of Look at this.” ▶️ 00:18:21
- Total absence of a front storage compartment (frunk) under the front bonnet „Usually you would expect under hood to find some storage space on an electric car, but uh here is not Where is it? Here. On the left side, here is not the case. So, you have just the electric motor on the front and you have all that electronics and high voltage system.” ▶️ 00:08:17
- Full LED headlamps lack advanced adaptive matrix anti-dazzle high beam functionality „The only thing that remain the same are the headlamps, which are not matrix. They are full LED low beam, high beam, but they are not matrix headlamps, so keep in mind.” ▶️ 00:03:32
🎯 Verdict: The refreshed Renault Megane E-Tech Electric cements its modern appeal through an impressive 67 kWh LFP battery upgrade and swift 165 kW charging, though cargo flat-loading flexibility and frunk practicality remain minor compromises.
