Overview
- Renault has unveiled the facelifted Mégane E‑Tech that replaces the previous NCM battery with a 67 kWh lithium‑iron‑phosphate (LFP) cell‑to‑pack unit that raises WLTP range to about 500 km and increases DC fast charging to 165 kW.
- The car retains a single 160 kW front synchronous motor built without rare‑earth metals and gains a Vehicle‑to‑Load (V2L) function able to power external 220 V devices up to 3,700 watts.
- Renault will open orders in July 2026, expects first dealer deliveries in autumn 2026, and says final pricing will be announced when ordering begins in July.
- The facelift deepens Google‑based connectivity by adding Play Store access with 100+ apps, a three‑year data allowance for in‑car apps and streaming, and a planned over‑the‑air update to add Google Gemini by the end of 2026.
- Renault simplified the Mégane offer to one motor and one battery across two fully equipped trims and concentrated production and LFP battery assembly in Douai with motors made in Cléon to cut complexity, lower costs and strengthen local supply chains.
