Techno and Esprit Alpine: two expressions of the new Renault Megane E-Tech

The structure of the new Renault Megane E-Tech Electric series improves and gains greater clarity and readability. It continues to have two complementary equipment levels (Techno and Esprit Alpine), each characterized by well-defined positioning. On the exterior, the Techno version carries dynamism with the decorative elements on the bumper in body color and the addition of new 19-inch wheels, while 20-inch wheels are also offered as an option for a better stance on the road. The Esprit Alpine trim, which is at the top of the series, has an even more exclusive appearance. It draws attention especially with its special 20″ wheels and distinctive Esprit Alpine elements. The cockpit is decorated with more refined materials. In the Techno trim, the instrument panel is now covered with TEP, a material that contributes to improving the perceived quality of the passenger compartment. TEP power seats in light gray or titanium black are also available as an option, enhanced by graphic effect door panels and instrument panel decorative elements in wood or gray respectively. The Alpine Esprit trim changes the interior appearance with its introduction. New decorative patterns for the door panels with a gray finish with a 3D effect, emphasizing the sporty and sophisticated character of the version. The all-LED ambient lighting contributes to the appearance and perception of quality of the passenger compartment, can be varied and personalized, thus helping to create an environment that suits the driver’s preferences. new battery for optimized electrical efficiency in electric vehicles The vehicle is equipped with a rare earth-free wound rotor synchronous motor manufactured in Cléon, France, combined with a new 67 kWh battery capable of producing 220 hp (300 Nm), enabling it to reach a WLTP range of up to 500. Equipped with LFP chemistry (lithium-iron-phosphate) battery, it features an innovative cell-to-pack (C2P) architecture. Integrating 232 closely spaced cells (Pouch 2 Cell), a world first, this design provides excellent energy efficiency of 53%, thus optimizing the energy density and usable capacity on board, so charging from 15% to 80% is possible in approximately 24 minutes (-25%). The electricity ecosystem is based on a set of technologies designed to optimize efficiency and energy management: predicting charging needs and optimizing travel. Energy optimization devices such as heat pump and battery preconditioning, which help maintain the performance of the battery in all conditions, use the Bidirectional AC charger, a unique offering in the compact market with bi-directional capacity that allows you to expand charging and usage possibilities (from vehicle to grid) (depending on the country), reducing charging costs at home. Pleasure also remains a key element of the DNA of New Renault Megane E-Tech Electric. The custom RG medium 1.0 platform (formerly AmpeR medium) allows you to combine energy efficiency and platforming, a measure that helps balance weight distribution and lower the center of gravity. This configuration provides greater precision in handling and dynamic behavior while maintaining on-board comfort. This contributes to the balanced compromise between dynamism and comfortable driving, allowing the driver to enjoy more natural sensations: The dynamic DNA of the car, such as chassis balance, steering precision, handling and steering pleasure, is preserved. For this purpose, the springs and shock absorbers have been completely renewed to preserve the dynamism and responsiveness of the chassis.
