These include the Motorway and Traffic Assistant, an autonomous level 2 system that offers comfort and peace of mind behind the wheel.The New Renault Mégane gains in elegance and refinement, notably introducing new Pure Vision LED headlamps to improve visibility and comfort during journeys. The New Mégane thus reinforces its design and the dynamic lines that have made it such a success.As a pioneer and expert in electric mobility, Renault is giving the New Renault Mégane the benefit of the 160hp E-TECH Plug-in rechargeable hybrid engine. It benefits from a new technology that focuses on energy recovery and is directly inspired by our Formula 1 expertise.The E-TECH Plug-in technology was developed by Renault Engineering and is the subject of over 150 patents. It uses components designed within the Alliance, such as its new-generation 1.6-liter 4-cylinder petrol engine with two electric motors and an innovative multimode gearbox. This clutchless transmission has excellent efficiency and barely noticeable gear changes.
The fifth-generation Scenic E-Tech electric, due to go on sale shortly, is produced in Douai France, the site where it was born in 1996. Who better to talk about the evolution of this iconic model and the plant where it is made than Franck Lucas, Unit Manager, who is celebrating 41 years of service at the site this year. Franck has been involved in the production of every generation of Scenic since its inception and has witnessed the technological advances from one iteration to the next, as well as the improvements made to workstations and manufacturing methods within the plant. Let Franck tell you about the evolution of one of Renault's French industrial flagships, where its team spirit remains as intact as it was in the early days.
With a rooster incorporated into the front windscreen, the All-new Megane E-TECH Electric proudly displays its French origins, made at the Douai factory (northern France) in the ElectriCity hub. The assembly line at Renault’s historical factory had to be completely overhauled in order to accommodate the production of all-electric cars. An industrial challenge that Nicolas and Vincent, assembly project leaders, helped to successfully overcome. Learn more about the people and machines behind the story. With the new Alliance Standard Line, the future of Douai’s manufacturing will be electric!
The All-new Mégane E-TECH Electric paves the way to carbon-free mobility: zero-emissions when on the road, designed using recycled, second life for its batteries, and readily recyclable at the end of its life cycle. This vehicle of Renault’s ‘Nouvelle Vague’ embodies the very challenges of modern times. As innovative as it is eco-friendly, the All-new Mégane E-TECH Electric reflects the Renault’s commitment to be an active part of the ecological transition and helps Renault Group achieve its 2040 target of being carbon neutral in Europe. Quentin, Environmental Officer at Material Engineering, tells the story of the ‘green’ car he helped create.
With the new Megane E-TECH Electric, Renault presents the first representative of a completely new generation of electric vehicles. The dynamically designed model based on the newly developed CMF-EV platform combines all of Renault's expertise as a pioneer of affordable electromobility that is suitable for everyday use. A range of up to 470 kilometers in the WLTP test cycle, the slimmest battery on the market at 11.0 centimeters and the largest info display area in a vehicle in the compact class are just a few of the highlights with which the Megane E-TECH Electric Redefined the limits for battery electric vehicles.With its multitude of innovations, the Renault Megane E-TECH Electric embodies the ""Nouvelle Vague"" from Renault, in English ""New Wave"", a product offensive with which the brand is driving the transformation to an integral mobility provider and operator of a fully networked ecosystem for electromobility . Renault offers the electric model in two power levels with 96 kW/131 hp and 160 kW/218 hp. The battery is also available in two capacity levels: 40 kWh and 60 kWh. The batteries can be ""filled up"" with a wide range of charging capacities and amperages, including, depending on the version, DC fast charging stations with up to 130 kW.
