The French company says the 158 bhp E-Tech powertrain will allow the hatchback to get from 0-62 mph in 9.4 seconds before reaching a top speed of 109 mph. In addition to the impressive environmental credentials and the potential for ultra-low running costs, Renault also claims the Megane E-Tech will achieve solid performance figures. The official CO2 emissions of 28 g/km, however, allows the Megane to slot into the 11 percent company car tax bracket for the 2021/22 financial year. Thanks to that zero-emission range, the new Megane manages up to 235.4 mpg on the official economy test, although you’ll have to make mostly short journeys and charge the batteries regularly to get anywhere near that figure. That motor is fed by a 9.8 kWh battery that holds enough juice to power the Megane for up to 30 miles on a single charge.

There are currently three trim levels available: Evolution, Techno and E-TECH Engineered. However, in hybrid mode the two power sources can feel a little mismatched: the switch between petrol and electric power is far more noticeable than in the non-plug-in Clio. On the move, the Captur plug-in hybrid is particularly enjoyable in pure-electric mode, offering smooth and quiet progress for up to 32 miles – very useful for shorter journeys and urban crawls.
