Your Guide To The All-New Renault Megane E-TECH Electric | 4K

[@bshah4831]

A fantastic presentation. One of the best descriptions of the Megane. Sadly in the UK we don't get many optional extras just 3 fixed model specifications. I think the base model is good value and Renault have managed to keep weight down.

[@smcmotorgroup]

Thanks Mr Shah. These are of course the launch models. We'll await to see if anything changes in the future and of course if it does we'll make noise about it!

[@MartinzW]

Thank you for showing the app a bit more in detail. A lot of reviewers, even new ones on youtube, gloss over software as if it doesn't matter when it's one of the deciding factors for younger generations.

[@smcmotorgroup]

Glad I've covered a topic you think is important. It's comments like this that help guide us to make more content relevant to our customers.

Most informative review I have seen on this car Max . Hats off to you sir. I have driven the car at one of the preview events, it's brilliant. You can even use the Google assistant to use voice control to turn on the heated seats or switch driving mode. Thanks Max and keep up the good work . Cheers Tees Trev

Thanks Tees Trev, lots of stuff in the pipeline!

A great in-depth review on such a great car, can't wait to see them out and about!

Won't be long now!

Meanwhile VW struggles with their extremely poor implementation of their OS, Audi suffers as a consequence. SO far Volvo and Renault just learning how to oursource what you cannot do well and get a proper system made for a car. As a long term Android Auto user (ocasionally Carplay too with spare phone) I can definitel say, that is the way to go. Proprietry systems from manufacturers are almost all rubbish, or then complely closed like Tesla, forcing you to use a sub par navigation system or simply not allowing you to use what you feel like. I don't like renault overwall, but this starts to become pretty interesting with those useful screens of correct size and a good system running it.

[@smcmotorgroup]

Hopefully this car will start to change your perception of the brand

Great review Max!

Thanks John, you'll have to let me come and see your studio setup ;)

A superb review from a very fine Motoring Journalists, who takes the very essence of the car and distills it into what makes it great.....Well done! I've just ordered the Top-of the -Range Iconic model (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!

[@smcmotorgroup]

That's great news, hopefully its from us! Not a motoring journalist, I just run the social media.

@@smcmotorgroup Absolutely!! You would never know, judging by the quality of the review

[@clausmadsen6754]

Nice car. Nice video. Nice shoes.

[@smcmotorgroup]

We were wondering when someone was going to notice 😂

[@seltaeb3302]

Great, & you definitely don't need a haircut! Is the steering wheel stiffness adjustable?

[@smcmotorgroup]

Yes it can be adjusted in Multi-Sense

[@Kirkscrustykippers]

Iv got this car it is awsome

[@smcmotorgroup]

Fantastic glad you're loving it

[@wilkoone9155]

We currently drive a Zoe 135GT (our 2nd Zoe) which we love. We had planned to trade it in for the new Megane, but have cancelled the order because we think the back window is dangerously small. The rear view on the Zoe is excellent by comparison so we'll stay with it. #Rearwindow #Meganerearwindow

[@smcmotorgroup]

The rear window is small but Renault offer a digital rear view mirror on the launch edition trim which gives a much wider view out the back.

[@wilkoone9155]

@@smcmotorgroup I'm sorry I just don't like cars with sloping backs, give me the square tailgates on Volvo estate any day. Everytime I see coupe SUVs like the BMW X6 & other similar cars I go yuk!

[@smcmotorgroup]

Even Volvo go for the sloping roof design these days. The Dacia Jogger however....

[@wilkoone9155]

@@smcmotorgroup I don't care which cars have sloping back windows, I won't be buying them.

ID3 has just passed away

[@smcmotorgroup]

Great to watch the Megane take the fight to the ID.3

[@unicsslave7587]

The 2002 one was the best but the 2008 one looks so bad Renault must keep his own angular traditional design and not follow Peugeot's rounded one.

[@smcmotorgroup]

You could argue thats the direction Peugeot are going now

[@garyfrench2401]

Should for hydrogen fuel not electric maybe later

[@smcmotorgroup]

Hydrogen very much has a place and Renault are doing a lot with the technology including offering it in the Master van and showcasing it on the Scenic Vision concept!

I hope it will be cheap, because besides the good looking dashboard, all else looks very cheap, with cheap materials. Noisy interior… not exactly a range champion.

Oh, let it be. At 10 thousand pounds more you can get a Model 3, with 1/3 more range, and better interior build. Also better software. Not sure if Megane will be that well received at its current price

[@smcmotorgroup]

The Tesla Model 3 is actually £253 more a month than the Megane when comparing them both on a PCP over 48 months with a £6,000 deposit and 10,000 miles per year. For that you get an additional 25 miles at 305 miles. Not the 30% you claim. To get to that you have to go for the long range model that costs almost twice as much as a Megane. To be comparing cars at such different price points is unfair. Although its also worth pointing out the software on this vehicle is being praised as some of the best in the world thanks to the partnership with Google.

@@smcmotorgroup the cheapest trim isn’t 186 miles range? That’s what I read on your website. I’m supposing the cheapest trim that is advertised on your website have the smaller 40kWh battery, at 37 thousand pounds cash. If it is the larger battery, the 60kWh with almost 300 miles range, then yes, I take back what I said, then it’s worth it. Although internal finish could still be better

@@smcmotorgroup by the way, nothing against Renault. I own a Megane 3 Grandtour and I love it. And have been thinking about electric cars, and I personally don’t like Tesla (brand) that much, but besides them, only 2 alternatives I see are good are out of my range $ (Mercedes EQE, and Rivian R1S that isn’t even available in Europe).

[@smcmotorgroup]

Only the 60kWh battery is available in the UK. The Mercedes and Rivian are nice cars/truck but then they are also priced accordingly.
