Advantages
- Design is striking with slim LED lights and futuristic styling that really stands out.
- Range is competitive at up to 470km which is enough for most journeys without charging anxiety.
- Fast charging at 130kW means you can add significant range quickly on suitable rapid chargers.
- Interior is spacious with a flat floor and the OpenR display with Google integration is excellent.
- Pricing is competitive making it more affordable than many rivals with similar specifications.
Pay Attention
- Boot space is smaller than expected at 440 liters, not as practical as the conventional Megane.
- Ride quality is quite firm making it less comfortable on rough roads than some rivals.
- Rear visibility is limited by the thick pillars and small rear window affecting parking.
- Public charging network dependency can be frustrating as home charging isn't always possible.
- No front trunk (frunk) means there's no additional storage space up front like some EVs offer.
