Of course, there are myriad other electric family cars the electric Megane must fend off, particularly the Kia Niro EV and Hyundai Kona Electric – the all-new, second-generation of which has already been revealed and is due to arrive later this year.Įvery Megane E-Tech in the UK is fitted with a 60kWh battery and electric motor to power the front wheels.

Rivals to the Megane E-Tech are primarily other electric family hatchbacks. But now the Megane is electric-only, as Renault begins to launch its next-generation of EVs – a decade after it introduced the practical and affordable ZOE supermini. The Renault Megane has been around since 1995, offered in various bodystyles and with a choice of petrol, diesel and more recently, plug-in hybrid powertrains.
