I Drive The Surprisingly Great Renault Megane E-Tech For The First Time!

Kyle, Jordan, and Tijmen meet up at a Renault dealership outside of Stuttgart to check out a brand new electric Renault Megane E-Tech. This vehicle looks great and is built on the CMF-EV architecture which also underpins the upcoming Nissan Ariya. The only thing left to do is to go on a full tour and to drive it.

9:32 that's quite simple. In Europe we are travelling on much shorter distances. so a break after 300km means half or 2/3 trip break. time for lunch, dinner, longer break because we don't plan next one as there is probably 80% chance we will arrive to our destination before that. So we don't have to charge three times just to visit grandpa on the weekend. (I am not counting summer holidays)

I hope Renault works on the filters so you can filter 50 100 and 150+ kw stations instead of only 50+kw. Also the charging curve needs a couple of tweaks and/or finetuning so you still get good results if you start fast charging above 10%. Other than that it's a great City CUV.

Megane normally have estate,version also. Really hopina to see that a EV version also get that estate version. With that it would be newer perfect for my and most likely many people car usage!

Great car can't wait to drive it. Small comment: Water pump is still an option (in the Netherlands). Nice video!

Yes please, I’d love to see a full review. Interesting to compare google maps with the tesla system, and test efficiency on highway and charging curve!

Got a set of Goodyear efficient grip on my Nissan pulsar, had them on for just about 4 years and still a little bit of wear left 💪

Why does everyone from the US pronounce Nissan as Neesan. There are no letter E's in Nissan!!!! This car is going to be a strong competitor for the ID3 and Astra EV when it appears....

Underneath the Megane e-tech is the Renault Megane e-tech platform, wheras underneath the Nissan Ariya is the Megane e-tech platform.

The European EV market seems more exciting than the North American market. Also French cars are known for their funky stalks, I think Peugots also use a stock to control the stereo.

I don't like that there are 3 stalks on the right side of the steering wheel. Seems a bit cramped. Why not move the gear selector somewhere else? It's not something you use as much as lights or cruise control

Most long term reviewer that had the same gripe at first say that after a few days at most this becomes a non issue.

Can you get one at the Renault dealer in North America?

Another plus compared to the ID.3 is that it can tow up to 900kg, which is good for trailer tents and some folding campers. It ticks many boxes on my list, except it's expensive and Renaults usually depreciate fast. I want to like it. Somebody please reassure me that this is a good buy.

We lease one it's great. Efficient, comfy, range is accurate, plenty fast enough. Not too common.

@chrishyde1216 10 ай бұрын

@@jamescarla26 We tried one (and other EVs) and thought about it, and then drove a Tesla Model 3. We bought a Dual Motor Model 3 with a tow hitch. There's rationale reasons such as charging infrastructure, efficiency and range, but also...0-60 in 4.2 seconds.

@caerphoto 2 жыл бұрын

iirc this car uses the same platform as the Nissan Ariya, and that car apparently has a really efficient drivetrain, so I'm holding out hope that the Megane is even better, as it'll likely be my next car in a few years.

@Wasssup3232 2 жыл бұрын

The Megane is much lighter and Aerodynamic, in other tests it gets excellent range with both packs, the Ariya does pretty damn well for how big it is from what I have seen from Testing done so far.

Did you ever get an answer about the clicking noise from the gas pedal? was this some issue on this one or does others have this? I noticed it myself on a car here in sweden as well. Maybe this is "normal"?
