Renault Megane E-Tech EV60 - Any Good? (ENG) - Test Drive and Review

Renault Megane E-Tech is a quirky EV, and I really like it. The electric Megane is shorter than the Megane 4. and even the Megane 3. It has a longer wheelbase, it’s higher, but narrower. Strange, but then it’s an EV on a new platform. Megane E-Tech can mean either the fourth generation plug-in hybrid or the fifth generation EV. The electric Megane E-Tech comes in EV40 and EV60 variant, which is exactly what you think - battery size expressed in kWh. The electric motor power output is 130 and 218 hp respectively, and the range is up to 300 or up to 450 km respectively.

I've been looking forward with anticipation for your review of the Mégane E Tech. From other reviews that appeared before yours, I thought this was probably one of the best in class, compared to the ID 3. The issues are small, but not enough to change my view. It's a good looking car with a good specification!

Fantastic car, did a weekend road trip here in Iceland and it worked like a charm. Actually think it's very impressive that it has a 440L boot and my 185 cm frame could sit behind my own driving position. It's only 4.2 meters long.

[andrazlogar]

1600 kg for a car like this is a solid achievement with nowdays cost effective tech. Id3 is at least 200 kg more.

Every tester in every review goes on about rear seats - but if you sit and watch cars going past about 1 in 50 ever has anyone using them (apart from children), so a bigger boot is better for most people.

6:00 As someone who has driven a Dacia, the media stalk is far away from the wiper stalk. You can't confuse the two, nor accidentally use the media one. As for the gear selector, it seems to be at a sufficient height to not be confused with the wiper stalk either.
Again, I'm not saying that it's a particularly good idea; just that confusing the three isn't as easy as one might think.

[DariuszTech]

Such a great looking ev. Love it.
Can't wait to test drive one myself 🤠

[TheJirator]

Medals, monuments and special pension bonuses made my day :D It pleases me that new EV can be equipped with physical controllers. My faith in humanity has been partially restored.

[gdfeeling]

Well done, now waiting for 🦁408 review

[iosiff]

Love the 22kw in board charger
Other reviewers say it s enough space in the back
Can t wait to see it live, because most say that it s smaller than it appears in video and pictures

Marek, great review, nicely balanced. Almost ordered a Cupra Born V2 but then came across the Megane E Tech. Not really seen any bad reviews on the car but the top UK version, the Launch Edition, is basically the Techno with the sound system and rear view camera and all versions get the 9” infotainment screen, that is 9” landscape not portrait so less than half the size. I know the French are not keen on us Brits but this is taking it too far.
Despite this, eventually got to test drive a UK Techno. Loved it. Smaller screen wasn’t such a problem as you rarely look at it whilst driving as you can have sat nav on main display. Rear view not brilliant but no deal breaker. Before I ordered had to view your video again to confirm my findings, so thanks Marek. Should be on my driveway before end of the year.

Rear visibility is main concern for me. Rear window is small and c pilars are blocking view. Mirror-camera combo are not in first equipment level.

[Evergot]

Ordered one in November and delivered in January. Love it!! The points about boot dripping water and noise of the boot shelf are a bit silly.

[SparkySven]

I have the Renault Megane E-Tech EV60 Iconic since yesterday and fell in love with it. It's the best EV on the market if you ask me. So much to explore and find but it all just works and very good. Love it

I'm most of the way through a delightful bottle of Rosso di Montalcino and I think that drive select doofah is the best thing I've ever seen. They should use it in F1.

[razvansodoleanu]

Marek, this is a good idea! There, I was convincing

[Icedevice]

The gear selector in the wheel is the best ever idea. You can change it without taking your hand off the wheel. Have it in my A Class and its amazing.

[outkene]

i ordered one, the 60 iconic. Cant wait for the car is arriving in march ish.

[JackKing.]

Hey Marek. You do great car reviews ever since like 10yrs ago. Good work.

[philmorbey]

I would say the drive selector three stalk thing is a non issue. I had older Renault as and you don't confuse them with the indicator stalk. The drive selector only gets changed when you set of reverse and is much higher, if you catch the drive selector while using the indicator I guarantee it won't do anything while in motion!

[catherinegrimes]

I loved your amusing review. I don't know if it was the camera angle, but my Nissan Note looked bigger in the back. The electric Nissan Micra/Renault 5 are possible contenders as a replacement for my car. I will have to watch your videos for these cars when they arrive and study them carefully.
