The Citroen e-C4 X and the Renault Megane E-Tech are both medium-size cars aiming to persuade switchers that they don’t need the bulk and weight of an SUV. But while they both are around the same price, they do like to do things a little differently. The Megane E-Tech is designed to deliver a sporty drive while the Citroen majors on comfort.
The Megane Techno tested costs a not insignificant £38,495. That’s £1,000 more than the Citroen, but it does have a lot more power at 217bhp. That’s also a little more than rivals such as the Cupra Born and Kia Niro EV and delivers a 7.5 second 0-62 time. There’s a 60kWh battery under the floor which gives an official range of 280 miles.
This Citroen tested is the Shine Plus, which costs £35,495 and is slightly longer than the Renault. It comes with a 50kWh power pack and a motor producing 134bhp, some 83bhp less than the Renault. It means the 0-62 time is more leisurely too, at 9.5 seconds. The smaller battery means less range as well – 221 miles versus the Renault’s 280.
Join Nicki and Nicola as they crunch all the important numbers and put both cars through their paces on the road. Which French fancy would you opt for? Perhaps you have an alternative? If so, let us know in the comments below.
