2020 Renault Megane facelift: UK prices and specs revealed
Revised Mégane is joined by a dual-motor E-Tech hybrid variant, while RS 280 is dropped and 296bhp unit gets more torque
Renault has released pricing and technical spec details of its facelifted Mégane range, which includes an updated RS model and the first ever plug-in hybrid variant.
Priced from £20,740, the Ford Focus rival's standard range has been slimmed down to just two trims: Iconic and sportier RS-Line. Standard kit on the former includes full LED headlights, front and rear parking sensors, a seven-inch touchscreen sat-nav and driver aids including lane departure warning and traffic sign recognition. RS-Line brings the larger 9.3in touchscreen alongside a host of design upgrades.
The most significant new range addition is the E-Tech plug-in hybrid. Available solely as an estate at launch, it follows on from the Captur crossover that uses the same system: a 1.6-litre petrol engine mated to two electric motors and a new, multi-mode clutchless transmission, which Renault claims offers "excellent efficiency and barely noticeable gearchanges".

Renault Megane Sport Tourer E-TECH 2020 review
Should I buy one?
Prices for this new plug-in Megane Sport Tourer start at £30,685 for the Iconic model, and increase to £32,685 for the RS Line. So it’s slightly more expensive than the Kia, which you can have in range-topping ‘3’ specification for just under £30,000.
The Renault might not be able to travel quite as far as the Kia on battery power, but its overall driving experience generally feels better resolved than that offered by its South Korean rival. For what it’s worth, I think it looks better too.
Of course, to make the most of this new plug-in Megane you’ll need to keep its batteries topped up. And considering Renault will give you a free BP Chargemaster home wallbox (which can top the Megane’s batteries up in just over three hours) if you buy one, doing so should be pretty easy.

Renault Mégane set to survive ... by gaining crossover version – report
A report out of Europe suggests the Mégane badge will survive, with a crossover version set to join the range.
According to Reuters, the French firm’s new chief executive, Luca de Meo, plans to add a “crossover” model to the Mégane line-up.
While earlier reports had suggested the Mégane was facing the axe as the market continued its shift towards crossovers, Reuters says three separate sources have confirmed De Meo wants to make the model a “pillar” of its C-segment range.
“There are a lot of discussions and it’s still evolving, but ... things are clearly moving towards a crossover version [of the Mégane],” one Renault source told the news agency.

Renault removes diesel engines from all models except Megane
Kadjar is no longer offered as a diesel and Captur and Clio will follow later this year, leaving just Mégane
Renault will remove the majority of its diesel engine options in the UK by the end of the year, leaving only the Mégane available to order with diesel power.
Confirmed to Autocar by a Renault UK spokesperson, the Kadjar SUV is no longer offered with the 1.5-litre four-cylinder diesel. The sole engine option is now a turbocharged 1.3-litre petrol with 138bhp.
Later in the year, diesel versions of the Captur crossover and Clio supermini will meet the same fate, although both of those cars now offer petrol-electric hybrid powertrains.

Renault Megane eVision Concept
The Renault Mégane eVision is a dynamic hatchback combining design cues inspired by city cars, SUVs and even coupes. Its muscular and low stance makes it highly aerodynamic and is finished off with detailed design elements and large alloy wheels. It previews Renault's future family of electric cars combining character, efficiency and passenger comfort.
The Renault Mégane eVision takes the best parts of the CMF-EV platform and traditional Renault nameplate and sets it firmly in the future. The hatchback body houses one of the thinnest batteries on the market and an ultra-compact powertrain that gives an exceptionally roomy interior in a compact footprint (just 4.21 metres). The 60kWh battery ensures long driving range, while its low, aerodynamic body significantly reduces consumption. DC charging - up to 130kW - allows for faster charging. This all combines to ensure the Megane eVision delivers the kind of performance and range expected of a much larger, more expensive electric car while retaining a highly practical yet compact exterior.

New Renault Mégane eVision previews 'reinvented' 2021 production model
Renault has whipped the covers off its new Mégane eVision, a concept car that previews a production model due to hit the market in 2021.
Based on the Renault-Nissan-Mitsubishi Alliance’s new modular CMF-EV platform, the Mégane eVision boasts what the French firm describes as “one of the thinnest batteries on the market and a new ultra-compact powertrain providing a more spacious interior layout”.
Billed as the “reinvention of the compact hatchback”, the concept measures 4 210 mm long, 1 800 mm wide and 1 505 mm tall, with a wheelbase of 2 700 mm. It rides on 20-inch wheels wrapped in 245/40 ZR20 rubber and tips the scales at 1 650 kg.
An electric motor delivers 160 kW and 300 N.m to the front axle, facilitating a claimed sprint from standstill to 100 km/h in “under eight seconds”. The 60 kWh battery is capable of DC charging (up to 130 kW), delivering what Renault merely calls an “impressive range”

Renault Megane TCe 140 RS Line 2020 UK review
Should I buy one?
The minor facelift doesn’t alter what was already a pretty tidy-looking car, but nor does it do enough to shift the Mégane to the top of the class. The chassis remains comfort focused - not necessarily a bad thing, but unlike with Ford and the Focus, it doesn’t have that duality of handling/comfort for when you do want to press on. It all feels like a missed opportunity - something to look at when it comes to the all-new car.

Renault Megane goes hybrid-only with new E-Tech PHEV option
Family hatchback ditches petrol and diesel options in favour of Captur's plug-in hybrid system
The Mégane family hatchback has gained a plug-in hybrid option and lost all of its pure petrol and diesel variants in line with Renault's electrification strategy.
The PHEV hatchback joins the Mégane Sport Tourer estate in the electrified line-up. Renault says it's capable of combined WLTP fuel economy of 235mpg and CO2 emissions of just 28g/km.
Two trim levels will be available: Iconic and sporty RS Line. Both models are driven by a 1.6-litre petrol engine and a 65bhp electric motor for a combined output of 158bhp, sending the Mégane from 0-62mph in 9.4sec and up to a top speed of 114mph.
Renault has yet to confirm the variant's electric-only range, but the mechanically identical Captur PHEV is capable of 30 miles between charges with the engine off.
An electronic parking brake, cruise control, a 10.0in digital information display and eight ambient lighting colours are standard on both Mégane PHEV trim levels.
The Iconic receives 16in alloy wheels, a leather steering wheel and smartphone integration with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. That's in addition to front and rear parking sensors, hill start assist and Renault's Visio System as standard, which includes lane departure warning, traffic sign recognition and automatic high and low-beam.

Should I buy one?
None of these criticisms are enough to condemn the Megane, but they do take the shine off what is in theory a decent offering. It’s competitively priced and is a good-looking thing, with enough on-board tech to make long journeys a painless experience.
Is that enough in such a competitive market? We’d argue not quite.

CAR REVIEW
Renault Megane
WHAT'S THE VERDICT?
“Not the most compelling hatch, but as a car for real family life, it could be brilliant”
The Megane is a pretty car, quiet, and well equipped. But so are some rivals. The Megane's trick is the smooth ride. Most cars this size have a sportier suspension tune, which you might not want for your family bus. And the ones that are this comfy are usually baggier than the Renault in the steering department.
But at Top Gear we value a bit of spirit in the driving. Compared with crossovers, the Megane is fine, but as a hatch or estate it's pretty unengaging. So across most of the Megane range we'd struggle to find a reason to send you to a Renault dealer.
But if your driving is mostly a commute, and you have somewhere to install the charge socket, the Megane is definitely worth a look. Again it's no ball of excitement, but it’s hassle free and thrifty for long journeys.
