Renault Megane Key Cards

Renault has always been at the forefront of technological advancement. The hands-free cards that it makes are a great example. Their minimalist plastic cases conceal sophisticated electronic components that continuously communicate with the car to which they are linked.

However, they are susceptible to wear and tear. Moreover, the technology can be trickier to use than conventional keys.

The Renault Megane

Renault was one of the first car manufacturers to offer a wide range of electric vehicles in its showrooms. More than 400000 Zoes have been sold all over the globe and have been on the road for more than six billion miles. The brand has even built a data cloud from this, with each vehicle reporting back to the mothership every time they're driven, so that Renault can analyse driver behaviour and battery usage. This level of maturity has rubbed off on the Megane as well it is a stylish and comfortable hatchback. It's not as much fun to drive as a sporty gasoline GTI, but the Megane has the sort of comfortable and calm that makes it an excellent commuter and motorway cruiser. The 220bhp version's nippy performance and multi-link suspension make for responsive cornering with the smooth and quiet ride.

The entry-level Expression+ comes with a lot of equipment. It's got an electronic display instead of analogue instrumentation, air-con, cruise control and Bluetooth connectivity. Upgrade to Dynamique Nav and you'll get power-folding mirrors as well as a 7.0in configurable touchscreen infotainment system with sat-nav and dual-zone climate control and front seat height as well as the ability to adjust the lumbar and keyless entry. You can also add ambient lighting in the interior at night, and a Harman Kardon nine-speaker stereo system.

The driving modes of MULTISENSE can be set to suit your mood. Each setting, from neutral to Sport, alters the way your car performs. It also alters the feel of the steering and throttle response. This system is able to alter the amount of braking regeneration from zero to a hefty. This system will help you save energy during long motorway trips but still slow the vehicle to an absolute crawl.

People who want to maximize Megane's green credentials will be delighted by its powerful plug-in hybrid system, too. Its 1.6-litre four-cylinder engine offers zero emissions motoring from a stop and the addition of an electric motor boosts the power output to 178bhp. This combination gives an economy figure of around 57mpg and it can even be driven in hyperdrive for more relaxing and economical motorway driving.

The Megane comes with rear seats that are ideal for families. They're spacious, but those with larger bodies may be able to see their heads rubbing against the roofline at the rear. The boot is also a great size and offers plenty of space for luggage. It's a little smaller than other models like the MG4 EV or Cupra Born but it still has a remarkable amount of space: 491 litres. If you're looking for more space and space, the optional estate body style gives you an additional 383 litres. The capacity can be increased to 1,231 litres if the rear seats fold flat. If you want a more custom-made setup they can also include a rear seat that can be flipped upwards and downwards to create a storage space on the floor of the boot. This is a nice feature, but it can increase the price.

The Renault key card
