Video Summary
Here is the summary of the YouTube video car review:- The Megane E-Tech is replacing the previous petrol model, and is only available as a full EV.
- The Megane E-Tech shares a platform with the Nissan Ariya.
- It follows the Renault Zoe as Renault's next electric car.
- The Megane E-Tech competes with the VW ID.3, Cupra Born, and MG4 in terms of size.
- The interior is good compared to competitors and has nice touches; however, some plastic components are not of the best quality.
- All trims have a digital driver display and a tilted infotainment touchscreen.
- Android Auto and Apple CarPlay are supported on the base model.
- Some unique features are physical climate controls, and the stalks on the steering wheel control media functions.
- Practicality in the back seats is not exceptional, although boot space is better than rivals at 440 liters.
- The car has a 60 kWh battery, with a claimed WLTP range of 280 miles, although tests in winter weather yielded 189 miles.
- Top-speed charging is 130 kW, achieving a 10–80% charge in 30 minutes.
- Every model has a 215-brake horsepower motor driving the front wheels.
- Zero to 60 miles per hour occurs in 6.9 seconds.
- The ride is comfortable, but the light steering makes it difficult to drive on twisty roads.
- The brake pedal feel is not very good and can make braking jerky.
- Entry-level trims are likely the best value for price.
- The starting price is similar to the VW ID.3 and the Cupra Born.
- Renault’s models tend to lose value more quickly than its rivals.
