The Electric Renault Megane Gets A Fresh Face And More Range

The updated Renault Megane E-Tech Electric has been revealed, boasting a new design and improved range. The facelifted model features a revised front fascia with a diamond motif, eliminating the predecessor’s oddly shaped daytime running lights. The new design creates the illusion of a wider vehicle, according to Renault.

At the rear, the taillights now have a more three-dimensional effect and no longer use a glass cover. The updated Megane E-Tech Electric also features a new LFP battery with a net capacity of 67 kWh, allowing it to travel up to 311 miles on a single charge. DC charging power has increased to 165 kW, reducing the time needed to recharge the battery from 15 to 80 percent to around 24 minutes.

The electric motor produces 215 HP and 221 lb-ft of torque, sent exclusively to the front axle. The vehicle reaches 62 mph in 7.6 seconds and tops out at 100 mph. The 2026 Renault Megane E-Tech Electric will be available in two trims: the entry-level Techno and the range-topping Esprit Alpine.

New 19- and 20-inch wheel designs are available, along with a Satin Slate Blue paint finish. The updated Megane E-Tech Electric will go on sale in Europe later this year.
