Two of Renault's vehicles can be seen in a Netflix series that has been available on the popular streaming platform since October 19. The show's name is Bodies and features the Scenic Vision Concept and the Megane E-Tech.
Based on a novel signed by Si Spencer, the British series traces four detectives in different time periods who try to resolve a case, and it is in the Top 10 most popular category on Netflix. The French car marque, whose models made their way to the small screen before via Netflix, accompanies the detectives with the Megane E-Tech in the present and the Scenic Vision in the future.
"For the past two years, Renault has been pursuing an ambitious product placement program showcasing the brand's new range," commented the company’s Partnerships Marketing Director, Stephane Barbat. "Our new vehicles have appeared in several Netflix productions, such as Lost Bullet and Lupin," and now they can be seen in Bodies, too.
Unveiled over two years ago, the Megane E-Tech is the auto firm's first vehicle based on the CMF-EV platform, which also underpins the Scenic E-Tech and the Nissan Ariya. It is made in France, at the Douai factory, and in its most agile configuration, it takes 7.5 seconds to hit 62 mph (100 kph), aided by its 214 hp (220 ps/160 kW) electric motor driving the front wheels.
It has a total driving range of 280 miles (450 km) on the WLTP cycle, and courtesy of fast charging, the battery can be juiced up for 186 miles (300 km) in just half an hour. In the United Kingdom, the Megane E-Tech family starts with the Equilibre from £36,995 ($44,893). The Techno+ follows it from £39,495 ($47,927), and the Iconic tops the range with a recommended retail price of £41,995 ($50,961).
As for the Vision Concept, it premiered last year featuring an electric powertrain with a hydrogen range extender, offering a glimpse of the production model dubbed the Scenic E-Tech. The latter is only a couple of months old, and instead of continuing the moniker's people carrier tradition, it has evolved into a family-friendly crossover with a battery-electric powertrain.
This model comes with two powertrains, and in the top form, it is as powerful as the Megane E-Tech. With its 87 kWh battery fully charged, it has a 380-mile (~610 km) driving range. The lesser variant, which features a 168 hp (170 ps/125 kW) motor and a 60 kWh battery, has an autonomy of over 260 miles (418 km) on the WLTP cycle. When it goes on sale early next year, the Scenic E-Tech will be offered in three trim levels called the Techno, Esprit Alpine, and Iconic. Pricing will be announced in due course.
