The Renault Mégane eVision was a
concept car unveiled in October 2020, previewing the Mégane E-Tech. The Mégane E-Tech was subsequently previewed by a near-production prototype in June 2021. The production version was revealed at the 2021
IAA in
Munich in September 2021, and sales in Europe started in February 2022. In early 2023, the model was intended to go on sale in Australia at the end of 2023, with Renault's Australian distributor saying supply was limited by high-demand in Europe and that they were viewing the Mégane E-Tech as "a 2024 model". Production of the
internal-combustion engine powered
Renault Mégane IV initially continued alongside production of the newer electric model. The car uses the
CMFEV platform, which it shares with the larger
Nissan Ariya model. The car received a five-star safety rating from
Euro NCAP. The battery is located underneath the floor of the car, and thus the cabin is raised slightly compared to the combustion-engine powered Megane, being taller than the Mégane IV. The design has elements which some find reminiscent of
4x4s, Euro NCAP classify it as a
small family car. The Mégane has a boot capacity of . The majority of its capacity comes from its depth rather than its length, leading it to have a high loading lip. The battery measures 1960 mm (77.2 in) x x 1450 mm (57.1 in). It will also be equipped with 26
advanced driver-assistance systems for its Level 2
semi-autonomous driving capabilities. The batteries have been placed in the car in a manner intended to insulate occupants from tyre noise.
