The all-electric Renault Megane E-Tech is almost here, with the brand now confirming full pricing and specifications for its new electric car. 

Debuting with up to 454km of range (WLTP), the E-Tech will come in a sole variant called the Techno EV60 and will be priced from $64,990 before on-road costs. 

The new electric Renault will be powered by a 60kWh usable battery pack and will use a single electric motor with outputs of 160kW/300Nm mounted on the front axle.

The new Megane E-Tech can now be ordered in Australia through the Renault dealer network. 

Chasing Cars spotted the Megane E-Tech eight months ago undergoing local evaluation, but now we have confirmation that the car will arrive in dealerships shortly.  

The Megane E-Tech will compete against other small electric SUV such as the Cupra Born, MG4 and the BYD Atto 3.

The following features are standard for the E-Tech in 2024:

• 20-inch alloy wheels

What else should you know about Renault’s electric SUV?

The new Megane E-Tech is the first electric Renault to be sold on Australian shores, a significant milestone for the brand. 

Unlike the Megane hatchback, the unrelated E-Tech rides on the dedicated CMF-EV platform – the same architecture that underpins the upcoming Nissan Ariya EV and the Renault Scenic E-Tech. 

Renault Australia says the E-Tech will have a claimed combined consumption of 15.6kWh/100km and will be capable of charging at speeds of up to 130kW DC. 

How safe is the new Megane E-Tech?

Renault says it has installed several safety assistance features into the Megane E-Tech, including autonomous emergency braking with junction assist, pedestrian and cyclist detection and driver monitoring.

Emergency lane keeping assist, adaptive cruise control, blind spot recognition and rear cross traffic alert.
