The Megane E-Tech 100% Electric isn’t exactly affordable, especially in comparison to the internal combustion-engined Megane. Over in the United Kingdom, the most affordable specification is currently priced at £36,995 on the road, which converts to $44,210 at current rates.
Prospective customers who aren’t prepared to shell out so much money in one go are now presented with an alternative in the guise of a monthly subscription. Over in the United Kingdom, this subscription comes with terms ranging from 3 to 24 months and a customizable monthly allowance of 750 miles (make that 1,207 kilometers) as standard. Developed in collaboration with Bipi Mobility UK Limited, this subscription costs £599 per month for the base trim level or £649 for the better-equipped Techno.
Prospective customers can also opt for delivery to their door for £99.50. As opposed to a personal contract hire, the subscription does not require a down payment, but a fully-refundable security deposit. The monthly fees mentioned above include road tax, servicing, breakdown cover, and even congestion charges. The car can be ordered 100% online from the comfort of your home. What’s more, the subscription can be canceled at any time.
“Traditional ownership methods will always have a place but, in line with how we now pay for many goods and services, there’s a very significant increase in those who would consider a car on a subscription basis,” declared Renault UK big kahuna Guillaume Sicard. “Our new all-encompassing subscription service means we have the perfect answer, providing consumers with an exceptionally flexible and convenient way to own and enjoy a highly usable multi-award-winning electric vehicle.”
Based on the CMF-EV platform that Nissan employs in the Ariya crossover, the battery-powered Megane comes standard with 18-inch alloys, 9.0-inch touchscreen infotainment, and a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster. The most you can expect in terms of WLTP-rated driving range is 280 miles (450 kilometers) on the combined test cycle.
