2024 Renault Megane E-Tech price and specs

The Renault Megane E-Tech has gotten cheaper.

UPDATE, 23/07/2024 –We’ve updated this article with the Megane E-Tech’s new, sharper pricing.

Pricing for the Renault Megane E-Tech was announced last August, with the electric SUV listed for $64,990 before on-road costs – aligning with the base Tesla Model Y ($65,400) and the entry-level Kia Niro S ($66,590).

However, Renault slashed it in May to $54,990 before on-roads. This was initially as a promotion and was set to last until the end of the financial year, but now it’s been made permanent.

“Our job is to listen to the market and the needs of our customers to ensure we remain competitive,” said Renault Australia general manager Glen Sealey.

“The decision to continue the existing price for Megane E-Tech was influenced by the increased demand for the vehicle we’ve seen across our network since its introduction.”

The Megane E-Tech is based on the same CMF-EV platform as the Nissan Ariya.
