The 2024 Renault Megane E-Tech is a battery-electric SUV with FWD and seating for 5. It belongs to the Gen 1 generation. The EV40 130hp Equilibre is the version described here, and the figures below refer to that configuration unless noted otherwise.
Performance
The featured EV40 130hp Equilibre version develops 130 hp and 250 Nm (184 lb-ft) of torque. Its listed 0-100 km/h time is 10.5 seconds, which is measured, with performance geared more toward normal driving than acceleration. Top speed is listed at 150 km/h (93 mph). Its power output is about 60% below the peer average. Its 0-100 km/h time is about 65% slower than the peer average. The figures establish its straight-line performance on paper, but they do not substitute for measured braking, handling or ride-quality tests.
Battery, range and charging
Battery capacity is listed at 40.0 kWh. The recorded electric range is 300 km (186 miles). Listed energy or fuel consumption is 13.3 kWh/100km. Maximum DC charging power is 85 kW. Its listed range is about 38% below the peer average. Real-world range and charging speed still depend on temperature, speed, wheel choice, battery state and the conditions of the test cycle.
Dimensions and practicality
Its exterior dimensions are 4,200 mm (165.4 in) in length, 1,768 mm (69.6 in) in width, and 1,505 mm (59.3 in) in height, while the wheelbase measures 2,685 mm (105.7 in). Cargo capacity is listed at 440 litres (15.5 cu ft), expanding to 1,332 litres (47.0 cu ft) with the rear seats folded. The cabin is configured for 5 occupants. Listed curb weight is 1,524 kg (3,360 lb). That cargo volume is about 18% below the peer average. The measurements are useful for comparison, although seat comfort, access and the shape of the load area still need to be judged in person.
The model range
The recorded line-up consists of EV40 130hp Equilibre, EV60 220hp Iconic, and EV60 220hp. Across the range, the specifications span 130 hp to 220 hp, 7.4 s to 10.5 s, and 300 km to 450 km, while listed starting prices run from $34,000-$40,000. Drivetrain, battery or engine choice, wheels and market equipment can all change the final figures, so the version table should be used when choosing between them.
In perspective
Compared with nearby battery-electric SUV models from the same period, the 2024 Renault Megane E-Tech is strongest on price, while acceleration and power stand out as the principal numerical compromise. That conclusion is drawn from the recorded specifications rather than a road test. A final choice should also account for local pricing, equipment, comfort and a test drive.
