The Mégane eVision concept, revealed at the company’s forum dedicated to its vision for future electric mobility, signalled Renault’s first venture into C-segment electric vehicles.

The production version, when it arrives, will enhance the comprehensive existing line-up of fully electric passenger cars that includes the B-segment bestselling Zoe E-Tech 100% Electric.

Based on the advanced CMF-EV platform, the all-new Mégane E-Tech Electric features a 160kW (217hp) e-motor and a 60kWh battery pack enabling up to 280 miles of range. Also called MéganE (pronounced “Mégane e”), the new model will start to reveal its final design as a fleet of 30 pre-production cars will be driven on open roads this summer by Renault engineers.

Built at Renault’s Douai factory in Northern France, all the pre-production cars will be covered with a tailor-made pattern from Renault Design, made up of lines and patterns from the new version of the iconic Renault logo, a design which creates a camouflage.
