Renault has showcased its vision for the future with this – the Megane eVision concept.
Unveiled at the French manufacturer’s eWays event, the concept will be the first Renault to use an advanced CMF-EV platform and kicks off a commitment by the firm to reduce CO2 emissions by 50% by 2030.
The hatchback features “one of the thinnest batteries on the market”, according to Renault, which work alongside a compact powertrain to deliver a spacious and practical cabin.
A signal of what the production version – which will arrive in the UK in 2022 – will look like, the concept features a 60kWh battery which ensures a “long” range, while 130kW charging accessibility allows for a rapid charge.
Renault claims that the concept will be able to go from 0-60mph in under eight seconds, too.
The exterior of the car features design hallmarks which would usually be associated with an SUV, but with the short overhangs of a more compact vehicle.
