Comunicato Stampa disponibile solo in lingua originale. 

  • New “sensual tech” #design language
  • Compact on the outside, great roominess on the inside
  • OpenR the new connected infotainment experience with 24" screen
  • 60 kWh thin battery pack for up to 470 km WLTP range

The all-new Mégane E-TECH Electric is a new comer in the #ev world. As such, it is part of an ecosystem where the vehicle represents a hardware platform housing state-of-the-art software and optimized connectivity to deliver new experiences. Thanks to the new CMF-EV platform, #meganeetechelectric offers great roominess on the inside and dynamism on the road with its direct yet precise steering.

Much like a smartphone, the All-new #meganeetechelectric merges seamlessly into the digital ecosystem of its user. It is a high-tech vehicle always ready to serve, thanks to its new OpenR display and its new OpenR Link multimedia system, developed with Google and based on Android #automotive OS, comes with Google Assistant, Google Maps and Google Play built-in for a helpful, personalized and seamless driving experience.

The Mégane of the future is already here!

The All-new #meganeetechelectric embodies the electric revolution that #Renault started a decade ago. By democratizing the electric technology, New Mégane succeeds in making the electric vehicle affordable, with no compromise on efficiency and driving pleasure. What this vehicle conveys is emotion, we have created it as the GTI of electric vehicles. said Luca de Meo, CEO of the #Renault Group.

A new beginning

Renault sets a new beginning with the strategic choice to manufacture the All-new #meganeetechelectric in France, at the Douai factory, located in the heart of ElectriCity, Europe’s leading #ev hub. #Renault ElectriCity will soon be Europe’s largest and most competitive centre for electric vehicle production. Located in the north of France, it is ideally located at the heart of market demand.

MÉGANE, IT JUST MAKES SENSE

At #Renault, Mégane is synonymous with the compact hatch, a model that has been part of the line-up for 26 years over four different generations. The All-new #meganeetechelectric pays homage to that heritage, through its #design and versatility. It keeps the genetic make-up and optimism that is a hallmark of each new generation of Mégane making it an icon of its segment: pleasure to drive, comfort, peace of mind, interior space and boot volume. This new generation sees new attractive features, such as the exciting #design, the unprecedented size-to-space ratio, and all the usual benefits of an electric car.

With the All-new #meganeetechelectric, #Renault shows that it is continuing on with a long-standing history and building on previous successes under the Mégane name. Though the name is now brought into the modern era and projected into the future. Because it just makes sense to do so. And so, the name will live on.

The new ‘sensual-tech’ language

Just like the brand, the #Renault #design is changing and becoming more ‘tech’. While keeping all the sensual features that are behind the car’s recent success, it also incorporates some more technological elements (rear micro-optical LED lights, OpenR screen) as well as others that draw heavily on the world of high-tech and hi-fi #design (vents grilles, laser engraving on lower door protection grates decorations).

Record-breaking powerful proportions

With the extended wheelbase (2.70 m for a total length of 4.21 m) and reduced overhang offered by the new CMF-EV modular platform, the All-new #meganeetechelectric displays unprecedented proportions that have given designers the opportunity to #design a powerful hatch with a mastered footprint. The battery is thinner than ever (only 110 mm!) meaning designers could refine the external proportions while also boosting the car’s interior roominess vs. footprint ratio and lowering the centre of gravity for a more fun and exciting driving experience.

Lastly, the All-new #meganeetechelectric combines a compact #design with a contained height (1.50 m), and yet the considerable space inside is still clearly felt from outside the vehicle.

Aerodynamics and efficiency

Design elements and specific features give a sense of robustness : large 20-inch wheels, protective strips on the lower side and wheel arches, high beltline. The dropping line of the roof, wide tracks, and flush door handles (as standard) feel more like a coupé. The contained height, the spaciousness, and boot volume are reminiscent of traditional hatchback models.

Improving the aerodynamic performance thanks to an efficient styling was a main aspect of the #design process behind the All-new #meganeetechelectric. The contained height, the narrow-rimmed tyres, sculpted shoulders with air-vents at the front and a character lines being part of the bumper sides, all give a streamlined feel to the vehicle, but also help improve its overall fuel efficiency.

Eye-catching and elegant colours

The All-new #meganeetechelectric will be available in six elegant and eye-catching body colours: Rafale Grey, Schist Grey, Midnight Blue, Flame Red, Diamond Black, and Glacier White. For a more personal touch, it can also come in a two-tone finish by having the roof, pillars, and – depending on the chosen trim – the side mirror guards in Schist Grey, Diamond Black, or Glacier White, enabling 30 possible combinations.

On the upper trim, other distinctive features include the Warm Titanium color featured on the bumpers front blade and at the rear as well as the side air-vents. This gives the All-new #meganeetechelectric a strong sense of character and sportiness.

The vehicle sits proudly atop its 20-inch wheels (18-inch for the entry-level model) and comes with a choice between two 20-inch rims and two 18-inch option. All rims feature the new #Renault logo in the centre.

Electrical Signature

Full-LED lighting in the front and back of the All-new #meganeetechelectric has been finely laser cut to express its modernity. The car features a brand-new lighting signature with ‘electrifying’ patterns that cross over to the central logo for heightened excitement. In the front, day lamps appear to extend beyond the projectors and continue their path up to the side air vents on the shield. In the rear, numerous laser-cut micro-optic fibres laid in criss-crossing lines create an intriguing 3D-like shimmer effect: overlapping lines appear to vibrate as if they were alive. In addition to the very elegant indicators, the brake lights are displayed in two clear lines, much like a ‘pause’ sign.

Projectors are made using six reflective panels and are adaptive so it’s no longer necessary to switch between high and low-beam – it’s all automatic. The beam of light is much wider on urban roads to see more of what is happening around the vehicle and much longer for the open road and on motorways in order to see further without blinding vehicles in-front or coming in the opposite direction. The lights also adapt to changes in weather (rain, fog) via a switch located on the dashboard and serve as fog lights. Dynamic indicator lights round out the full range of ultra-modern and very stylish lighting features.
