Go on… admit it. You’d forgotten about this one, hadn’t you?
While the Renault 4, 5 and Twingo have been stealing all the headlines, there’s another Renault quietly still in the lineup — the Megane E-Tech. And now it’s had a proper mid-life facelift with new styling, more range, faster charging and some clever efficiency upgrades.
In this first look, we take a fresh walkaround of the updated Megane E-Tech to see whether Renault has done enough to bring its “forgotten EV” back into the conversation… or if it’s been completely overshadowed by its retro-inspired siblings.
The updates are more than skin deep. There’s a new front-end design, a revised interior finish, a new 67kWh LFP battery using cell-to-pack tech for improved rigidity and packaging, plus a bump in WLTP range to 311 miles. Charging is quicker too, now up to 165kW DC, meaning 15–80% in around 24 minutes. On paper, at least, this is a seriously improved package.
But the EV market hasn’t stood still. The Megane now finds itself up against some very strong rivals including the Kia EV3, Volkswagen ID.3, Cupra Born and MG4 — all fighting for the same family hatchback buyers.
So the question is simple: has Renault done enough to make the Megane E-Tech relevant again… or is this the EV everyone really did forget?
