Renault’s new ‘EWAYS’ event will cover the rise of electric mobility, as the automaker takes the next step towards its zero-emission goal.
During the first live stream, CEO Luca de Meo premiered an entirely new 100% electric vehicle, named the Megane eVision, an innovative concept car previewing the latest in the line of Renault electric vehicles, based on the new modular CMF-EV platform.
The Mégane eVision makes the most of the new platform which has been designed by the Alliance. This dynamic hatchback features one of the thinnest batteries on the market and a new ultra-compact powertrain providing a more spacious interior layout.
Its sophisticated features and lighting signature accentuate the modern look of the car, moving things in a new direction for electric vehicles in use, size and design, as well as energy efficiency.
The production version of the Mégane eVision is set to be introduced in the UK in 2022 and represents the reinvention of the compact hatchback – a sector the Mégane has been firmly placed in for 25 years. The Mégane eVision combines emotional design with an innovative interior and highly technical powertrain, promising enhanced driving pleasure, comfort and interior space as the Mégane always has done.
Luca De Meo, CEO, Groupe Renault, said: “Thanks to our brand-new Alliance platform CMF-EV, we broke the rules of size, use, design and energy efficiency to imagine the Mégane eVision show-car. We fully leveraged the potential of pure electric platform to re-invent the classical hatchback in an emotional way. With the thinnest battery on the market, a 4.21-metre compact body offering the roominess of a C-segment vehicle, The Mégane eVision is a masterpiece of packaging. We took our 25-year best-seller and took it to the future. Mégane eVision reinvents Mégane, and Renault reinvents Renault. This is just the beginning; a whole new generation of innovation-packed electric vehicles is to come.”
