2024 RENAULT MEGANE E-TECH AUSTRALIA WALKTHROUGH AND TEST DRIVE

EV Channels Review

The 2024 Renault Megane E-Tech offers a compelling package for the Australian market, particularly for those seeking a city-centric EV from a well-established automaker. The reviewer highlights its respectable range and efficiency, achieving around 16.2 kWh/100km in mixed driving, which translates to a real-world range of approximately 380 km from its 60 kWh battery. The interior is praised for its driver-focused design, use of recycled materials, and comfortable ride, though some criticisms are leveled at the fit and finish of certain interior plastics, which feel less premium than expected for the price point. The infotainment system, while functional with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, lacks built-in navigation, necessitating phone projection. The reviewer also notes the absence of one-pedal driving and the somewhat basic regenerative braking system, which has only three levels. Despite these minor drawbacks, the Megane E-Tech is considered a reasonable choice, offering a comfortable driving experience, good tech features, and the reassurance of a familiar brand, making it worth a test drive.
