Renault updated Megane E-Tech gets bolder new look and faster charging

Only the headlights remain the same at the front of the updated Renault Megane - (Renault)

Renault has given its all-electric Megane E-Tech hatchback a proper mid-life spruce-up, with a sharper face, more range and a bigger helping of useful technology for buyers making the switch to electric.

The updated Renault Megane arrives with a new 67kWh lithium iron phosphate battery, replacing the old set-up and bringing an official maximum range of up to 311 miles, a useful bump from the previous model’s 285-mile maximum. The new battery also allows faster rapid charging, with a peak rate of 165kW and a claimed 15 to 80 per cent top-up time of around 24 minutes.
