So not much at all wrong with the car if that's the stuff you can come up with. Also, the regen paddles are meant to be adjusted all the time. That's why they're paddles, and not a button or menu item. I have those on an Ioniq, and they are there to allow control of speed when going downhill, as well as arriving to traffic lights smoothly, ideally maximising regen while also rolling to avoid a full stop. I actually find it engaging and fun to drive like that, and it wouldn't be as easy without the paddles.

"Watch before you buy" me sat here watching after ordering one 2 week's ago 🤡

What a waste of time. If all you can fault are those items, then Renault have done a great job. There are times when you need access to the car without driving off,hence the power button. It’s also a safety feature to prevent accidental use of the controls. Kids in the car??? All in all, a good attempt by Renault. Potential owners should not be put off by this summary.

In 1995 the Renault key fob or plip was nothing like that 😅 and I'll be honest I like the power on and off button. Don't wanna walk away while some scrote helps himself to the car

I am driving a Megane E-Tech Techno. Its brand new. Dislikes are as follows- The range is way below any other EV I've driven with a 60kWh battery. My previous daily driving car was a 64kWh Hyundai Kona that could do 100 miles further in range than the Megane. That's driving for economy, I'm not a novice. I hate the key fob, though its not a real key fob as I cant attach my house keys to it. The performance is great but I can't use it when I'm trying to get some distance driving. On the positive side, I think it looks really good, it's very quiet and comfortable. The infotainment system works well, but the sound quality is average. I have to say, I like it more than the Hyundai, but the range is really the big disappointment. I can see me getting 160 miles max in the winter.

The qi charger placement and the difficulty to get to the phone is for SAFETY. People are complete idiots and they google, text, surf, check Facebook etc while they drive. ALL THE TIME. Especially people under 30. It’s a significant safety risk. Making the phone hard to get to motivates people to use hands-free operations more … via the car

The key is horrible yes but you never ever need it to open or close the car so it is in your pocket. But no regenerative Braking is the most efficient way to drive! so never brake only it is absolutely necessary! you have more space when you adjust your driver seat correctly (You are sitting wrong elbow 90 degree angle) The QI Charger you can put very easy inside and with one finger you can swipe it out. Maybay it because of your Iphone.. The wrong phone 🙂

Think the space above the telephone screen is that limited so that you can not read the screen while you are driving. But if the telephone screens get much larger there will not be space there for the telephone.

Let me know what you yhink about the #RenaultMeganeEtech . Whats is your favorite thing or function? Is there anything that annoys you?

Riktigt bra video. Älskar att du tar upp dina 5 favoriter, och dina "dislikes"

A superb review....Well done! I've just ordered the Top-of the -Range Iconic model in th UK (with that excellent Heat Pump). It was a straight choice between a Tesla Model 3 or the Megane, both were the same price.....No contest! The sterile, poor build quality, horrid interior, ugly Tesla is so dated compared to the Renault. It's tech is so 'yesterday'. Brilliant move by Renault going to the experts, Google! By the way, Renault say the 0-60 time is 7.5 Sec, but independent reviewers have clocked it at 6.9 Sec (that's Mini Cooper S territory, but with that lovely instant torque).......how typically French, underplaying!

I would say that a good thing is that the buttons on the steering wheel are not touch sensitive like in the ID3 and ID4 .. that are crap! There are 3 levels of spec, with the middle “techno” hanging basically everything you need. Hope this helps.

In the UK we get a much smaller 9.3” screen instead of the 12” infotainment screen. So the QI charger is easier to access but we get a crappy small screen.

On the UK version the screen is not so deep so we do not have the issue with the phone charger as there is more space. BUT I agree with you about the other things. Having to do the regen every single time you get in the car is a real pain!!! why can't it be added to the profile??? We also do not get leather seats in ANY MODEL in the UK. This is ridiculous in this day and age. IF you wish to change the drive Mode, You do not need to press the multi button....just say hey google and then say Sport mode.. or eco mode... or comfort mode, no button needed.

I just tested one yesterday. Nice handling, good comfort, engine accelerates well, and the screens are also very good. But the main reason we will not consider it anymore is the boot. It is ridiculously deep with a very high step, making it very unpractical to transport our large subwoofer cube (50 cm by 50 cm and 50 kg). And i will also regret there is no real one pedal mode, and that there is no marking on the pedals to explain which one increases the regen, and which one cancels it. Last gripe, the ridiculous number of satellites on the right side of the steering wheel, two’s company, three’s a crowd.

Lovely car, but I found the boot on this to be a really odd shape for it's capacity. At 440l. it's a larger capacity than many rivals, but won't accomodate a collapsible wheelchair, where many rivals will. It's probably great for suitcases though!

I have an MG4 I hate that I cannot have the car "off" when I am in it. All the lights on. It is utterly annoying. I would love a "start" button.

Is the charter for 2 Phones so it nedsat to go in the ohter Way ?

Honestly the worst thing about the phone charger placement is your knee hits it when sitting in the drivers seat.

Why doesn't anyone say anything about the flawed method of counting down ( or up, whatever the intention was?)...!?

I think some of your dislikes are very first world problems...however one that kills the deal for me is the space in the rear. I drive an bmw ix3 company car and I'm looking for a cheaper EV, because I think the ix3 is overpriced and under specced. But this is just too small, just a few inches bigger in the rear is all we need! Good review

on some you tube videos you hear a whine like a turbo on initial acceleration which sound quite good. Does this happen on yrs

can you set the default regen like I can in my old Hyundai Ioniq? and can you drive with NO regeneration?

Perfect car with that 5 "dislikes"...😅

If you put your hand in, to take the phone and grad it between your fingers and your thumb it's easy, you have issues because you try to take it in a non convenient way. We call that having two left hands (when you are right handed) 😉 I do not agree with the non use of the power button. It's not because Tesla remove it that it is the best way. For exemple all the time you spent in the car without driving do not need to turn the full power on and you save energy, instead of turning all the power on as soon as you get in, even if you are just waiting in the car. Here you have OFF, ON for just the minimum, of full ON. Tesla is only full ON. About the paddles, I think that you didn't understand the purpose of it. It's to optimise the consumption. Your are paradoxal because you want it to be at the max all the time when it's not the best way to optimise and in the same time you think that it's great to have some paddles to adjust the regeneration.

Surprised you missed the annoying 3 stalks on the side for wipers, gears and radio. Not great. Still, a great car overall.

It is a very nice car. Great styling.

I had a drive in the Megane and I didn't like the rear window, which is way too small.

Do I lose count T the start ? 1 2 3 2 1 waddafuq

Can’t agree with the dislikes, petty in the extreme

Renault💪❤️❤️🔝

Pretty useless video, cars are about how it drives, how far it drives, is it fun, is it comfortable, is it noisy, how it looks and how it feels, these are minor bullshit stuff for people who do know nothing about cars…

Power buttons are really unnecessary for EVs 😅 And I would also hate how it has too mamy stocks on the wheel, why won't Renault put audio controls on the steering wheel? 🙈

Boy are you fussy over nothing.

Völliger Blödsinn, aber nett. 😂

Sorry to say but I see the only problem here s you man😂 well done tht car, the only thing I can agree s that key fob s trash.
