It's good to not only talk about the R5 E-Tech at Renault. Alongside the imminent arrival of the R4 E-Tech, the first illustrations of the Twingo 2026 and the first deliveries of the new R5, the manufacturer with the diamond logo is refining its Mégane E-Tech range by integrating a new finish today, halfway between the Techno level and the top-of-the-range Iconic. At the same time, the electric sedan assembled in France gains bidirectional charging across the entire range, and a One Pedal mode to increase regenerative braking when you lift off the accelerator pedal.
The new Mégane E-Tech Esprit Alpine seeks, as its name suggests, to add a touch of sport to the model. Thus, in exchange for an additional 2,000 euros compared to the Techno finish, Esprit Alpine adds specific styling elements, such as a tinted "F1" blade shale gray and special upholstery. The additional equipment package is as follows:
- exclusive Satin Shale Gray paint finish
- Satin Shale Gray F1 blades front and rear
- 20-inch Speedway black smoked painted alloy wheels
- Ice black tinted diamond at the front and rear with with the same dark finish of the monogram
- High Gloss Black decor around the side windows
- Esprit Alpine badge on the left front wing
- Specific upholstery in recycled fibers
- Tricolor badge and blue stitching on the dashboard
Otherwise, the Esprit Alpine trim adds a heated steering wheel, front and side parking sensors, electric mirrors with memory, a blind spot detector with emergency trajectory correction, and a high-definition reversing camera (type 2 at Renault). Some equipment remains reserved for the high-end Iconic finish, such as Active Driver Assist, the 360 camera, the Harman Kardon audio system with 9 HP, the digital interior rearview mirror or the parking exit warning with emergency braking in reverse.
Whether it is the Techno, Esprit Alpine or Iconic finish, the three versions of the Mégane E-Tech are all offered with the 220 hp engine. Eco-bonus included, the new finish of the sedan costs at best 41,500 euros.
One Pedal and bidirectional charging on all Megane E-Tech
Regarding the other two new features integrated into Regarding the car, let's specify that One Pedal presents itself as a fifth level of regeneration when lifting the accelerator pedal, offering the ability to brake harder without having to act on the brake pedal, up to a complete stop of the vehicle. As for bidirectional charging, Renault will use V2G (11 kW), in other words vehicle-2-grid, to send electricity back to the network. Only the Iconic version can offer V2L, with an adapter to recharge other vehicles or equipment. V2G will allow electricity to be sent back to the grid, via the Mobilize Power service, to save on electricity bills.
