Renault Mégane E-Tech Electric

The Renault Mégane E-Tech Electric is a battery electric subcompact crossover SUV set to be produced by the French car manufacturer Renault from 2022. Using the Mégane nameplate, the vehicle is the first Renault model based on a dedicated electric vehicle platform called the CMF-EV. It is similar in size to the Captur, but the dedicated electric vehicle platform allows for a longer wheelbase and larger interior size.[4]

Design

Powertrain

The Mégane E-Tech is available with two different batteries (40 kW-hr or 60 kW-hr) and two different traction motors with outputs of 96 or 160 kW (129 or 215 hp) and 250 or 300 N⋅m (180 or 220 lbf⋅ft) of torque, respectively.[1][9] The battery is 110 mm (4.3 in) tall, and is guaranteed to retain 70% of its nominal capacity for 8 years.[1] Anticipated range is 300 to 470 km (190 to 290 mi), depending on the original capacity, based on the WLTP cycle.[1]

The 60 kWh battery that is compatible with fast-charging rates of up to 130 kW, allowing it to reclaim 200 km (120 mi) of range in 30 minutes. The electric motor produces 160 kW (215 hp; 218 PS) and 300 N⋅m (221 lb⋅ft) of torque, powering the front wheels and delivering a claimed zero to 100 km/h (62 mph) acceleration in under eight seconds.[5] It will also be equipped with 26 advanced driver-assistance systems for its Level 2 semi-autonomous driving capabilities.[10]
