Offering two battery pack choices – 40kWh and 60kWh – and two motor outputs, the Megane E-Tech delivers a base power of 130hp and 250Nm, with a more powerful option delivering 218hp and 300Nm. Renault claims a range of up to 470km depending on the battery configuration.

In terms of competition, the Megane E-Tech primarily targets European markets and competes with models like the Hyundai Kona Electric, the Mini Cooper SE, and the Kia Niro EV.

Regarding Renault’s plans for the Indian market, the company is exploring the possibility of introducing an entry-level EV based on the CMF-A EV platform. Additionally, Renault is preparing to launch the all-new Duster in India in 2025.
