We can’t yet paint a picture of what is happening beyond the top 10, because we still only have “tip of the iceberg” model data for September (look out for Jose’s report later this month).ĭid any new models start to appear in France last month (MG4, refreshed Kia Niro, Nissan Ariya, VW ID.Buzz, and more)? We won’t know for a while yet. The Dacia Spring took 3rd, in a close race with the Tesla and the Peugeot 208. Even Tesla’s habitual end-of-quarter push couldn’t displace the Megane in September, with the Model 3 having to settle for 2nd place. The Renault Megane has led France’s BEV rankings for the past 3 months, and is looking unassailable. The 50% mark will likely be breached by December. Combined with petrol-only sales, these two traditional powertrains still clung on to just over half the market, though at their lowest combined level ever (51.4%). This pattern of steady BEV growth and PHEV shrinkage is now common in Europe.ĭiesel-only vehicles fell below 15% of new sales for the second time, as they first did in March this year. PHEVs fell by just over 1%, to 11,618 units. In volume terms, against a backdrop of 5.5% overall auto growth, BEVs grew by 32.4% YoY, to 22,483 units. These compare with respective shares of 12.7%, and 8.8%, a year ago.

September’s combined plugin result of 24.2% comprised 15.9% full electrics (BEVs), and 8.2% plugin hybrids (PHEVs). The new Renault Megane remained the best selling full electric. Overall auto volume was 141,137 units, 5.5% more than last September, but well down from 2019’s almost 180,000 units. Full electrics grew share (and volume), but plugin hybrids fell, a pattern now common across Europe. There are a few hard plastics here and there but overall the interior feels more upmarket than Renaults of old, and lower trim levels feature a lot of recycled materials.September 2022 saw plugin electric vehicles take 24.2% share of the French auto market, up from 21.5% year on year. The portrait infotainment screen runs a new Google-powered system with an excellent voice control setup, while physical buttons and dials for the climate control have been retained, making it a class-leading setup. Inside is just as eye-catching thanks to a 12.3-inch instrument display and nine-inch portrait central screen, but it’s also more traditional and user-friendly than a Volkswagen ID.3, with its frustrating touch-sensitive sliders. While it looks striking, the angle of the contrasting roof means the rear window is very narrow. Slim LED headlights and a sculpted bonnet give the front end a distinctive look, while there’s a near-full-width light bar at the rear, flush door handles, gold detailing and a sloping roof. The Renault Megane E-Tech Electric has the same focus on style as previous generations of Megane. It's also a sister car and direct rival to the Nissan Ariya. For the new model, Renault has completely changed the formula the Megane is now a trendy hatchback with SUV styling, powered exclusively by electric motors, so competes with the Volkswagen ID.3 and Nissan Leaf, as well as the Citroen e-C4, Peugeot e-2008 and Kia e-Niro. As a petrol or diesel-powered family hatchback, the Renault Megane never sold as well as the Ford Focus or Volkswagen Golf.
