When?
The car will go on sale in five of Europe’s most important markets from February 16.

Elbil24’s Fred Magne Skillebæk (signed below) is the Norwegian jury member for this selection, which is also the reason why Elbil24 has already tested the car on its own, and against one of its most important competitors.
The car doesn’t arrive in Norway until around Easter. The prices are also not clear, but what has emerged is that the Norwegian importer will make it very easy to choose the Megane model.
There will be three ready-made models, which have been named Business, Techno and Iconic.
Working is the entry-level model, which will be outfitted with 18-inch wheels, while the other two will have 20-inch wheels. Therefore, the business range will also be at a range of 470 kilometers, while the two delivered at 20 inches will have a range specified under the WLTP standard of 450 kilometers.
In addition to choosing the equipment version, you can choose the car in six different colors, in addition to the fact that it is possible to get it in two colors, as Renault calls it when the roof is painted in contrasting black.
Inside, there are canvas covers in Business and Techno recycled materials, while the Iconic is delivered with a black or light gray titanium leather interior.
