Renault Megane E-Tech

I think that is a much truer reflection of the value of the Renault and I'd expect to see a good few more on the roads now.

Price probably needed to drop to make room for the new Scenic.

Scenic is something like 42 k sterling in Uk for a bigger car with an 87 kwh battery.

Edit

Scenic prices in UK.

Those are for 87 kwh cars too.

I'm sure the Irish price in euros will be very strong but UK offering gives some context for this price cut for Megane

That's the risk you take with buying a new car house etc. The prices can go up or down depending on the market.

Did any of the people who bought a Tesla before the huge price reductions last year get anything back? I doubt it.

Yes very true. Hard to know what Renault would or could do though. Give him a voucher or a free service and a valet or something.

I wonder what’s the reasoning behind pricing the Y the same as the 3. Sales of the 3 would surely suffer you’d have to think, unless they plan to drop its price too, or push the Y back up

Are Renault still matching the SEAI grant? If not, then this price cut is not quite as good as it might seem

From history, the OMSP has always been exaggerated by revenue..normally you would have to pay the VRT and then appeal providing 3 examples of what the real OMSP really should be

My wife saw on social media that Renault have dropped 10k off the new E Megane and she wants to get our first EV.

We just had solar fitted to our detached home.

We don't do high mileage as she works within 10km of homend i use a company vehicle for work.

We plan to purchase for cash

Any thoughts/tips appreciated

€31,000 .

The longest journey we do is occasionally to Dublin airport and that's 80km each way

31k euro is for the 40 model, 60 models are dearer.

The 225kms I said is my estimate in real world range, not the wltp figure which you won't achieve anyway.

Up to the OP whether they want to pay extra for bigger battery, from description I don't think they need to

The new Megane is quite nice but I’d stretch for the larger battery if you can. Otherwise I suspect you’ll be married to the car come selling up time.

40kWh is just too small a battery for a new car of that size/class in the minds of 99% of buyers, whether you actually need the range or not.

The larger battery will be far more practical for you too of course. To be honest, even 60 isn’t huge.

You will likely need a charge stop on the way back from airport with the 40kw model in winter. If it’s your only car I would recommend spending an extra 5k to get the 60 kw.

I got one for my wife last month at the old price and it’s fine for our purposes as a second car, and the range is the only thing we are unhappy about.

a 90% charge is only giving 180kms on the GOM, but a motorway drive will bring that down a good bit.

facelift is in testing for release at end of year.

Renault have a great offering in the lower to middle end of the market now.

Believe it’s standard on them from launch. I was in looking at one today (new) and asked they said it is standard on the techno model but I’m pretty sure it has been standard from when first released.

Mid life product improvements such as between 10 and 30km improved range through sharkfin antenna and new mirrors. some interior changes. new 18" eco wheels. improved audio.

charging curve unchanged. 22kw charging becomes option with 7kw standard which is fine for me on a car that otherwise offers a better owning experience than most of the competition. range is from 320 to 480 across the batteries.

If looking for an EV in this size for delivery with 242 plate then it is really worth while looking at this and the refereshed Id.3/Born

It's plenty big. Much more spacious than a Captur or a leaf.

i have one, it's bigger inside than the exterior suggests - our 3 tall teenagers are nice and comfy in the rear seats, and there's still plenty room for tall me in the front. My previous car was the saloon megane, there was less space in that i think.

i've installed the my renault app, but it doesn't actually allow me to see or do anything? I can see my car in the "your garage" section but all i can do there is remove it. I get an error message on the vehicle information page in the app

when i log into my account on pc, i get a message that says

Congratulations!

Have i missed something in the registration or set up?

Anyone else's connectivity gone on their car?

Stopped working yesterday and App will not connect, red x's on the SIM connectivity when I check int he car.

I called Renault and they said it is a known issue they are working on.
