The new generation MULTI-SENSE settings and the OpenR Link multimedia interface allow drivers to adapt the car to their personality or mood. They can be accessed via the OpenR touch screen, or a brand-new button located on the steering wheel. The various settings cover items such as driving sensations (power steering, engine calibration, accelerator responsiveness) and on-board mood (lighting, driver seat comfort, heating, instrument displays and colour), while three pre-programmed modes (Eco, Comfort, and Sport) combine the best of these settings for simplicity. A fourth mode (My Sense) offers a configurable blend of settings. The driver can switch between any of the modes at any time – even by voice command.
The All-New Mégane E-Tech Electric is available with multiple charging solutions, and is compatible with all AC charging infrastructure. Depending on the version, it can also be compatible with DC chargers up to 130kW (combo sockets), such as fast charging stations on motorways. Charge times are among the fastest on the market:
- Up to 248 miles of mixed driving recovered overnight (8 hours) with a 7.4kW wallbox
- Up to 99 miles of urban driving recovered in 1 hour, with a 22kW public charging station
- Up to 124 miles of motorway driving recovered in 30 minutes with a 130kW fast charging station
- Up to 186 miles WLTP recovered in 30 minutes with a 130kW fast charging station
The All-New Mégane E-Tech Electric includes the Fireman Access innovation that was born of a long-standing partnership between Renault Group and French firefighters. It adds a special access for rescue teams to utilise when trying to quickly douse a battery fire on an electric vehicle, meaning they can quench the flames in just 5 minutes as opposed to 1-3 hours it used to take.
In addition, a switch located under the rear bench enables rescue teams to disconnect the battery from the vehicle. A QR code is also affixed to the windscreen of the All-New Mégane E-Tech Electric. It is intended for rescue teams who, by scanning it when responding to an accident, can quickly recognise that it is an electric vehicle. It also gives them access to the car’s structural information, for example, the location of the battery and airbags, places for quick and risk-free cutting.
