Renault 4 E-Tech vs Renault Megane E-Tech

Side-by-Side Specs

Charging Speed

The Renault Megane E-Tech has the higher published DC charging figure at 129 kW, which is roughly 28% higher than the Renault 4 E-Tech at 101 kW. In practice, that figure only tells part of the story. The charging curve, battery temperature, and state of charge all affect how quickly your car actually charges.

For the published fast-charge window, the Renault 4 E-Tech is listed at about 31 minutes, which is 2 minutes quicker than the Renault Megane E-Tech at 33 minutes. On a road trip, that difference adds up over multiple stops.

Range and Efficiency

The Renault Megane E-Tech has a WLTP rated range of approximately 468 km, which is roughly 59 km more than the Renault 4 E-Tech at approximately 409 km. WLTP is a standardized lab test. Expect your actual range to be lower, varying with speed, weather, terrain, and driving style.

Efficiency matters more than battery size for daily driving costs. The Renault 4 E-Tech consumes 151 Wh/km, compared to 158 Wh/km for the Renault Megane E-Tech. That means the Renault 4 E-Tech uses less energy per kilometer, which translates to lower charging costs and fewer charging stops on longer drives.

A more efficient car does not always mean more range. Battery size plays a role too. The Renault Megane E-Tech has approximately 60 kWh of useable battery , while the Renault 4 E-Tech has approximately 52 kWh.

Which One Should You Choose?

The Renault Megane E-Tech has the higher published DC figure at up to 129 kW, but the Renault 4 E-Tech has the shorter published charge time at approximately 31 minutes versus approximately 33 minutes. On road trips, published stop time matters more than the headline kW number alone.

Both cars support 11 kW AC charging, so home and workplace charging speeds will be similar.

If you mostly charge at home or at work and care more about daily driving costs, the Renault 4 E-Tech is the more efficient choice at 151 Wh/km. Lower consumption means lower electricity bills over time.

For maximum range between charges, the Renault Megane E-Tech has a WLTP rated range of approximately 468 km, which is roughly 59 km more. Both are capable EVs. The best choice depends on how you charge and how far you drive.
