Autonomous and safer with the new ADAS

To facilitate driving, increase safety and make journeys more serene, the New Mégane Spoter E-TECH Plug-in Hybrid features Renault EASY DRIVE driver assistance devices, including the Highway and Traffic Jam Companion, an autonomous driving function. level 2 (available by the end of the year).

Already present in the Mégane range, the lane departure alert increases effectiveness and is now complemented by the lane keeping assistant. These two combined functions, active respectively from 60 and 70 km / h, warn the driver, and correct the trajectory, if the vehicle is about to cross the lane without having previously activated the direction indicator.

The Fatigue Detector detects the driver’s fatigue from the steering wheel movements and sends an audible and visual signal to send him for a break.

Electric skills become E-TECH

Ten years of experience in the electric field have allowed the development of a hybrid technology that brings with it the best of Renault know-how.

This means:

• starting systematically to 100% by electric ,
• accelerations at the height of an electric vehicle
• regenerative braking which, as in an electric vehicle, allows high battery recharging capacity also thanks to the specific B-Mode (Brake Mode) which increases regeneration by slowing the car up to about 7 km / h.

All these features guarantee the New Mégane E-TECH Plug-in Hybrid excellent energy optimization and better battery recharging during deceleration and braking.

Energy for business: not only autonomy and consumption are the advantages of the Plug-in Hybrid E-TECH

The new Mégane E-TECH Plug-in Hybrid has a range that allows it to travel in full electric mode up to 135 km / h for 50 kilometers in mixed cycle (WLTP) and up to 65 kilometers in urban cycle (WLTP City).

In mixed cycle, New Mégane Sporter E-TECH Plug-in Hybrid consumes 1.3 L / 100 km, – therefore very little – and emitting 28 grams of CO2 / km (WLTP values) allows you to enjoy all the ecological advantages recognized by the institutions local to hybrid cars. In fact, almost all regional and local administrations attribute tax concessions and real benefits, such as the exemption of the stamp for three years, free parking on the blue lines, facilitated or free access to the ZTL areas and the permit to circulate during traffic blocks.

Entry into historic centers, traffic restrictions, deliveries of the so-called “last mile”: these are the current issues that push more and more companies to search for vehicles in this segment that meet CO2 emissions requirements of less than 60 grams . Having a plug-in hybrid offer in this segment responds precisely to this need and to specific needs, which for example. they could not be satisfied by hybrid, mild-hybrid or other power supplies.
