The Renault Megane E-Tech electric vehicle will be offered with discounts of up to $12,000 as part of an end-of-financial year deal.

Until 30 June, the Megane E-Tech Techno EV60 is priced from $49,990 drive-away, an estimated saving of about $8000 to $12,000 over the regular price of $54,990 plus on-road costs.

The Megane E-Tech is powered by a single electric motor on the front axle producing 160kW and 300Nm, and is claimed to deliver a zero to 100km/h time of 7.4 seconds.

The electric Megane uses a 60kWh lithium-ion battery for a WLTP all-electric driving range rating of 454km. A 130kW DC rapid charger is claimed to replenish the battery from 15 to 80 per cent full in approximately 30 minutes.

      Yeah exactly. Like car with slow charging, small battery and the Renault build quality for less than its competitors isn’t really a headline grabber. If I want cheap get a Jaeco ($36k DA, 10 yr warranty) or a Cherry, otherwise for $50k get a BYD or stretch and get an entry level tesla.

      • 6
      • ohgee on 14/04/2026 - 21:15

        That's good to hear. It's likely the chassis is sound but after some thought, being an EV it likely has vague electric steering. All traditional French FWD hatches have better handling than they should. I have an affinity for Citroen's and have loved most Renault's I've pushed including the Scenic, great cars!

          I had one of these when we tried to move back to live in the UK. I had it for 18 months and it was so much fun, handles like a go cart, and the 0-100kph is accurate if not reserved. Great car.

            @bigmanboulder: we recently bought one as a daily between my wife and I. I'm a hot hatch guy and my other car at the moment is a Gen 2 GR Yaris but have had a few others including an RS Clio 182 many years ago. Megane was the first EV we drove that felt right. One thing to note is how light it is and feels compared to other EVs so it actually feels fun to throw around corners.

            Now do similar search for big Chinese EV names and see the differences. Not saying Chinese are flawless, but enough to put Renault in shame 🤡

            I wont buy Chinese but just put it out there. European never care about reliability, especially long term. Always like that, never change :)

        Agree with this and nice to see anyone else recognises it. They're making much lighter EVs too than the chinese. As an example a sealion 7 is about 2300kg and a Renault scenic is 1900kg (and has a slightly bigger battery). The Renault will almost certainly drive better too but I haven't driven one.

      Skip solterra, it was a flop. "Limited range, slow DC charging, higher prices, and early, notable issues like the recall over wheel hub bolts. While sharing the Toyota bZ4X platform provided excellent AWD, it struggled against rivals like the Tesla Model Y."

      Yeah, that's not a good price for a small sedan that's only 4.2m long. The MG4 can be bought for $10k cheaper as a fair comparison. If you insist on paying $50k, you can upgrade to a medium sized SUV with the Geely EX5 which will destroy this car in terms of size & specs for the same price.

      • y2k on 15/04/2026 - 05:59

        Not everyone wants the largest car or the best specs (not sure which specifically you mean). Eg in city or Eastern suburbs, a shorter crossover or SUV (like the Megane and even the slightly longer Scenic) can be a plus. That almost certainly means a smaller battery and range, but for some that's a worthy trade off.

        • supersabroso on 15/04/2026 - 14:08

          Sure, everyone has different needs for car sizes but if you want to pay $10k more for the same size hatchback with the same range then you need to hand in your OzBargain license as you aren't interested in good value. This is why I said the MG4 was a comparable EV car.

            if you want to pay $10k more for the same size hatchback with the same range

            That's a weird thing to say, there are many more criteria to buying a car than the size and the range.

            People buy BMWs every day when they could have bought a Kia of the same size and range instead.

            People buy Land Rovers every day when they could have bought a Jeep of the same size and range instead.

            • y2k on 17/04/2026 - 22:40

              @Nom: I'm in (and now a mod for) a fairly large Aussie EV group and it's fair to say there is a section of folks who are very passionate about prosecuting the case for cheaper Chinese EVs (interestingly, usually not BYD - perhaps because their market leadership means they're now seen as a "big guy" like Tesla).

              Not saying it's the case with all those in this OzB thread, but I often see them - regardless of the OP's criteria and often completely ignoring it - plugging whatever cheaper Chinese EV is "similarly specced but way cheaper".

              There are a couple of Tesla fanatics like that too, but far fewer. Debates tend to go nowhere in that situation as there tends to be a lot of repetition by the more zealous elements, best to reply once to give a different view for any normies reading and wondering, but leave it at that.

Nissan is only sharing tech with Mitsubishi as they had rescued them from bankrupcy after some dodgy engineering in Japan that unfortunately got exposed.

              Theres also diesel tech shared more widely between them but I dont really care about diesel engines much and especially not at current prices of the stuff

      I've had a Renault Clio RS since 2013. Mechanically has been fine and is fun to zip around in. DSG is jerky at low speeds and the build quality is lacking with NVM being high. But this car was bought for the driving fun-factor and at sub-$40k it was a budget hot hatch. Now my kids are grown it's hard to fit 5 but we still can. Get's 7L/100km driving sensibly.

      I love Renault and would upgrade to a Megane EV.

          If you're referring to the issue of Tesla car doors not opening in a crash because the electrical system fails, that's actually a reasonable fear. They do have mechanical door releases but you need to tell your passenges where it it (a little pull as bit below the main handle). Not ideal for kids, elderly or anyone who may not remember in an accident.

          Volvo's new EX40 has come ame up with the common sense solution where a half pull on the handle electronically opens the door, but pulling it all the way (as you would when panicking in a crash) releases it mechanically. Hopefully others follow.

          My biggest worry is being in a crash, getting trapped inside the car and burn inside it..

          Dont buy a car with stupid door opening systems then. That isnt an ICE vs EV decision.

          On the topic of fires. A diesel use just randomly caught fire in front of us the other day.

          @Megatron then do not buy a car with stupid electric door handles. This has nothing to do with EVs.

    This is actually a very decent crossover BEV if you've driven one. Yes it has the Renault quirks too. Renault BEVs seem to be more reliable than their ice counterparts (although to be honest they are contrary to popular belief, fairly reliable for a European brand). This would be on my shortlist if not for the updated MG4 EV.

    It’s Megan in French so your car is a Megan Sally Kathy

      Not in Australia. We get a cut down version missing Level 2 ADAS, connectivity and 3-phase AC charging.

    Renault are refreshing their range including their interior tech. I'm guessing this is part of running out the old models. New Scenic well worth a look - even if you don't want its slightly bigger dimensions, it's got better range, connected tech like Google built-in, digital key on your phone, electrochromic sunroof etc that shows where Renault is taking things for new models inc the next Megane.

    After Clarkson raved about the Renault 5 E-Tech electric, I was hoping that it would arrive in Australia, but it won't yet.

    It's Car of The Year in Europe and way more appealing than a Chinese car for me

      Renault 4 and 5 wont be coming any time in the near future. It lacks top tether anchor in the middle seat.

      Did you see the Alpine version? My son showed me a review and even though I don't think it's worth the premium it looks pretty swish.
