Renault Megane E-Tech

late 2022 were 1st arrivals in Ireland, it was earlier in Europe, so 3 years old there, and its in a very compeditive space

The Renault Uk Press Release for Megane E-Tech & Scenic improvements, orders from April, so likely for 252 reg's over here:https://www.press.renault.co.uk/releases/3265

Didn't realise the facelift versions weren't available to order in Ireland . I'm in NI and it's been available for all UK from the start of May if my memory is correct.

I've ordered a Mégane Esprit Alpine through a work scheme. Supposedly should be delivered late August/early September. Big changes, besides the new alloy wheel design, is less paint options (grey/grey/black) and electric front seats, with a massage function for the driver. One pedal mode with flappy padels. And the AC charging is updated to match the R5, reducing power to 11kW but adding V2L. Small change is a 5 mile bump to the official range.

Reduced from 22kw? That is a pain !!!

Prices have actually decreased by €1500’ish, and the only feature dropped, seems to be 22kw ac, and a few features added, one pedal driving, v2l, larger screen is now standard, better looking materials used, and about 10km extra range

Yes, effectively the Equilibre trim is now called Techno. PR statement suggests what was the original Techno is now the base model, but that's only true in name

Its funny - I'd actually be okay with Techno trim now having 18s.

I test drove the pre facelift last year on 20s and wasn't especially happy with the ride.

Found the R5 better on 18s.

I have the car in for a rear wiper fix on Wednesday, will ask them about it as I see it from time to time and let you know.

I haven't used DC charging in nearly 2 years though so not sure if it would actually work !

You can just use a normal jack, there's nothing special needed to jack them up just jack it up in the right spot. You can get an aftermarket spare wheel kit, they are around €400

Hi I have ordered an megane electric esprit Alpine Iconic and have received the vin number from the dealer to track my order but the myrenault app is showing an error when I enter on the app,contacted the dealer and they also got the error on myrenault, but on their system they could see the status which says in production,does the car have to leave the production status before myrenault app picks it up?

DC charge worked no issue this morning !

Dsandson thanks for your reply,I'm thinking your right in what you are saying about the myrenault app it is rubbish,the dealers receptionist who gave me a copy of what she was seeing on their system said she would contact me when ever she gets an alert on their system about the cars they have on orderm so I will rely on her for info,thanks again,
