The new Mégane E-TECH Electric is the first model to introduce the sensational “Sensual Tech” design with the new Renault logo on the front and rear. Features of the Mégane E-TECH Electric are sensual style elements such as the muscularly rounded shoulder area, the drawn-in flanks and the contoured bonnet. They are complemented by striking high-tech details such as micro-optical LED light strips at the rear or the large OpenR screen in the interior. Thanks to the lower cooling requirement of the electric drive, the designers were able to create a largely closed front. Another feature: the door handles, which are flush with the body, open automatically as soon as the driver approaches. The external appearance is completed by borrowings from the world of crossover models. Depending on the equipment, these include 18 or 20-inch wheels, the high belt line and protectors on the wheel arches and vehicle flanks. The roof, which is curved towards the rear, is reminiscent of a coupé.
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.
