The Megane range, however, starts with the Megane Expression derivative which is powered by an 84 kW/156 Nm, 1.6-litre petrol engine and mated to a 5-speed manual transmission. Sport and Race will further offer a Multi-Change Down function and Launch Control to maximise performance. The EDC version will be equipped with steering wheel-mounted paddles and gear timing will be determined by the preferred driving mode selected which includes Comfort, Normal, Sport, Race and Perso (customisable mode). Two model versions will be offered including the Megane R.S. model brings with it enhanced design and performance and hot hatch enthusiasts have much to look forward to with this latest model now featuring 4-wheel steering and a new 1.8-litre turbocharged engine with 205 kW and 390 Nm. will look to shake up the hot-hatch segment locally. 280 CUP versions will commence in mid-September while the Megane R.S. hot hatch for some time now and it appears the wait is over as it will be launching in South Africa this week along with a new Megane range. We have been waiting for the arrival of the new Renault Megane R.S. Herewith specification and pricing details for the newcomer… What about other all-electric cars from Renault? The popular Zoe sold 9,000 vehicles so far this year, and the Twingo’s all-electric version sold 8,600 units.Renault is gearing up to launch its new Megane in SA which will also include the highly-anticipated Megane R.S hot hatchback. Still, in France, Megane E-Tech and Spring account for only 6.75% of Renault sales, compared with 33% for a combined Clio and Sandero sales, the group’s best-selling models. In 2025, the brand aims to have a line of seven all-electric models, with the return of the R5 and the 4L in a new emissions-free version. “To mass produce and push sales with rebates is a total misconception,” he added, noting that the company has changed its philosophy to give priority to value over volume. “They will be more expensive to buy because they cost more to produce, but not necessarily to use in daily life,” said de Meo. Renault eyes 2030 as its date to be all-electric and plans to release 11 new EV models between now and 2026 (with a total of 25 new models to include ICE vehicles), which will include a high-end Alpine. My job is to project Renault into the future, and in Europe the future is electric.
The current success of the electric Megane E-Tech, with 25,000 sales in three months, shows that we are on the right track. And 90% of these raw materials we do not control. For the moment, 40% of the cost of the car is in the battery. We have been working on electric cars for 12 years and are putting in place the conditions for the Renault brand to be 100% electric by 2030. The democratization of electric cars will take place in Europe and will involve products at affordable prices. Automakers like Renault are facing a difficult European market with rising inflation and a shortage in semiconductors that is impossible to control, making the EV “equation” a challenging proposition, said de Meo. Renault has been trying to rebound from a global automobile crisis and a historic loss of 8 billion euros in 2020 in the first half of this year, the company posted a net loss. In a new interview with Le Journal de Dimanche, Renault’s CEO Luca de Meo said Megane E-Tech’s success is putting the company “on the right track.” He also noted that the company is shifting gears in the face of economic realities and pivoting to offering fewer cars but at higher prices.
Other top EV sellers: the Fiat 500 and the Peugeot e-208. While Telsa’s Model 3 held the number-one spot in France in 2021, the company has sold around 6,660 as of the end of April 2022, without many new registrations in the last few months. That tallies up to a 100K/year run rate – could it outrun Telsa’s Model 3 this year?īacked by an aggressive marketing campaign, Megane E-Tech, alongside the skippy Dacia Spring, has sold well in a country where total new car registrations have dropped (in addition to an automobile crisis with numbers still staggeringly low compared to pre-pandemic levels). Renault is shining a light on its brand-new all-electric compact Megane E-Tech, which boasted the best EV sales in France last month, with 25,000 vehicles sold in the last three months.
