Renault has plenty of SUVs in its range nowadays. There is the Captur, the electric Scenic, the Symbioz, the Arkana, the Austral and the Rafale.

And there’s the Megane, too. Sort of.

No, you didn’t read it incorrectly - the Megane E-Tech (to give its full name) is something of an SUV today, or at least it certainly looks like one, even though it's still classed as a family hatchback by its dimensions.

The fact that it embodies SUV styling is no mistake, though – it seems everyone wants an SUV nowadays, and the Megane of today is far removed from what you used to know.

Not only have the aesthetics changed a lot, but so too has the power source: It is now an all-electric car, and, in practice, this is a brand-new design with the Megane name attached to it rather than an upgraded or evolved version of the old model.

It is about time, though, given that Renault's first electric car, the Zoe, was launched in 2012, and the Paris-based manufacturer hasn’t looked like it’s been in a hurry to launch any other emissions-free cars since.

Recently, however, the floodgates have started to open, and with a bunch of hybrids already under its belt, Renault is steadily building up its electrification programme.

It even includes the relaunch of the retro 1970s-designed Renault 5, which has been given a modern-day makeover.

The Megane E-Tech's platform is the same as that the Nissan Ariya SUV used. But is it any good in Renault form? That is what we’re aiming to find out.
