AutoExec Summary
The 2024 Renault Megane E-Tech has permanently reduced its price by $10,000, now priced at $54,990 plus on-roads due to an increase in orders. Originally priced at $64,990, the small SUV struggled with sales, delivering only 171 cars in the first half of 2024. Renault Australia hopes to compete with the Tesla Model Y, which sold 12,516 units in the same period. The new pricing puts the Megane E-Tech in line with the Hyundai Kona Electric Standard Range, MG 4 Essence 64kWh hatch, and the entry-level Model Y RWD. The Techno EV60 version offers standard features and a 60kWh lithium-ion battery with a range of 454km and fast charging capabilities.
