Video Summary
Here is the summarized content of the review:The Renault Megane E-Tech has been run for three months, and it's time to share what it's like to live with. The reviewer will highlight both the pros and cons of the car, based on a long-term test.
The car looks one of the best on the road and the design, a visual trick, has a great appeal. This is a shorter C-segment hatchback than the Ford Focus and a lower car than the Renault Zoe, supermini. The model tested, a Techno+, is a perfect middle-ground choice. This version features 20-inch alloy wheels.
The reviewer loves the interior as well, and that’s the next part of the review.
Here are some things that are not very pleasant. Rear seat space is just okay. It is not bad but it is not also vast. Taller rear passengers can feel the limited foot space with the floor pushed up. A fold-down armrest in the rear could be an interesting addition. The rear window is shallow, providing very limited rear visibility.
Here are more items that are really good.
The Google-operated screen is very easy to use. Both Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are wireless. The Google Map-powered navigation is fantastic. The safety systems aren’t intrusive.
Build quality has been exceptional, without squeaks or rattles. The comfort level for drivers during long trips is great.
Now here are the main issues that have been uncovered during the long-term test. The alarm system is not reliable. The key will trigger the alarm 30 seconds after the car is locked. Another bad news is range. The car is supposed to perform 260 miles according to its WLTP figure, but the real range is closer to 200 miles.
On the other hand, if you want to know more, Renault claims the upcoming Scenic will be much more energy-efficient. A quick fix that's possible to do. What should you do? I can tell you that I need a lot to get this.
