Renault Megane E-Tech

It's printed inside the drivers door on the B pillar. 2.6 bar front, 2.5 bar back.

Only kerbed one last night, thankfully no tyre damage. Coming from a much bigger car the tight turning circle on the Meg means you have two be super careful when near kerbs, very easy to catch them, and the rim protection does nothing.

I havent seen it in the Automotive Google store. I think its only working on the Scenic, so must've been a mistake to be available for the Megane.

Has anyone noticed a very loud electric motor whine noise inside the car on the new Megane?

I had a 2023 model before and never noticed it. It is noticeable above 60kmh but when you go above 110kmh it is nearly uncomfortable

Models with a + on the end of the trim name have the larger screen and the heat pump as standard. Only the very new Alpine trims have the V2L, but it loses 22kW AC charging, downgrading to 11kW.

Depends how many longer trips you do in the winter ref the heat pump. Maybe have a look at A Better Route Planner app or website and try some routes to see how they compare.

I wouldn't bother paying extra for a newer car that has a heat pump. I went for a 2024 + model to get one that has a heat pump, but I have no idea if I have ever used it as I charge from hone 90% of the time. Larger screen was introduced in mid 2024, but the car also lost a couple of features such as individual tire pressure monitoring and alcantara door trim. Also the new infotainment graphics that were introduced at the same time are generally disliked compared to the previous display with digital analogue dials.

I think late 23, early 24 is the sweet spot. Absolutely love the car BTW.

Hi all! I’m interested in going for a Megane, and with an upcoming sale seems like a good time! The range etc looks good with around 300 in winter it seems? I’m looking at this one from 2024, however would I be right that these don’t have android automotive which has built in maps showing how much battery you’ll have when you reach a destination etc, like the new r5/4 or the continental meganes? Thanks!

ah brilliant thanks! Test drive booked!

thanks for all the responses! Really interesting re: range etc, looking forward to the test drive this weekend

also interesting about the heat pump, I had thought that 2024 models and up all had them from techno upwards, haven’t seen a techno+ model advertised anywhere yet so will be asking that question

sent an enquiry anyway so I’ll let you know for the other people on this thread too! :)

Renaults do suffer badly with the rear camera lense getting cloudy or hazy, replaced plenty of them under warranty. Sometimes you might away with using some polishing compound on the lense

unfortunately didn’t actually take the one they offered! Initially went to view a model with 22k on the clock, just missed it! They said they had one with 44k, but when I went in it was nearer to 70k on the clock. Higher then what’s on my car at the moment, and no price difference then the one with 22k, so just couldn’t make myself do it! Had a good few more dents etc also.

I did test drive two over the weekend though, including that one with nearly 70k, stunning cars to drive. I drove an id3 also and just no comparison, the interior styling is hundreds of times better.

Enquired about another two models and expecting calls today though so hopefully! Thanks again everybody for your help, really appreciate it and I’ll keep you updated :)
