Jeep Avenger full review: www.electrifying.com/reviews/...
MG4 full review: www.electrifying.com/reviews/...
Renault Megane e-tech full review: www.electrifying.com/reviews/...
If you want to buy a new electric car in 2024, you have a LOT of choice. Way more than ever, in fact. That’s a GOOD THING, because we don’t all like the same thing. That would be boring, right?
In this three-way electric car shoot-out, we have three contenders on test - all of which offer roughly the same range, performance and space as one another… But they come in different packages. If you love an SUV, we have the new Jeep Avenger… and if you fancy an old-skool hatchback, may we introduce you to the new MG4 Extended Range… And if you can’t make your mind up and fancy a bit of both, we have the Renault Megane e-TECH…
Join Nicola, Ms Hume and Lady Nicola of Electricville as they put all three cars to the test. Which of them would you choose? Or would you opt for something else entirely? Let us know in the comments below.

New slogan for the Jeep Avenger: "It's not that bad"

@menacemenupat9667 2 месяца назад

Ive done 2,000 miles in my Megane Iconic and it drives like a hot hatch. Reminds me a bit of a A class but drive is sharp and really sporty. Even on 20" rims and a bit heavy the suspension is tuned very well and you'd never no its a fairly heavy EV.

I picked up a dealer demo MG4 so I got all the bonus goodies when I wasn't intending to do that. The 360o cam was good when I was parallel parking. Took my parents to the airport and couldn't fit both cases in the boot and had to put it in the backseat. Also the voice recognition is useless with my accent. Software is slow, especially on start up. But the car parts of the car are great, drives well goes fast. very good range. Sadly the price of the megane is at model 3 levels here, I think its cheaper in europe.

@BMWHP2 2 месяца назад

Thanks for the review. Today we did a test drive in the BYD Dolphin (Design) 60kW version, with 204bph and 310 Nm. Everything standard, even panoramic roof with electric sunscreen. We liked it a lot better than the MG4 extended range. But we will wait until we had a ride in the Citroën ë-C3 before we decide. The Citroën is a smaller EV with less range and less features, but he, around €10.000 cheaper, that counts also.

@siasek 2 месяца назад

I highly do NOT recommend the e-C3, I've had it 1 years and it's a piece of junk. Every drive annoys me - for example, the on-board computer has neither the drive time nor the consumption since the start of the drive nor since the last charge. You are always driving blind. The infotainment is slow and useless. It doesn't compare with anything modern. I also bought it for the price and honestly? It wasn't worth the savings. Not to mention the cold gate, where in the winter that car charges worse on DC than a 2015 e-Golf. never again Stellantis.

@humphj 2 месяца назад

Tried the MG and thought it was really cheap inside, totally a class apart from the Mégane. The rear view mirror is not a gimmick but does take some getting use to. The camera is inside so need to keep the rear window wiped to get the best from it. Also, I leave the Regen in the lowest setting and only use the other settings for cornering or anticipation of stopping.

@ricco123tube 2 месяца назад

I test drove the MG4 and it was good and bad. Wind noise and the whistle was present, the whistle apparently is due to the trophy's rear spoiler which also reduces range. Bluetooth connection to my phone was impossible and the screen froze when trying to use the HVAC controls. LKA is awful. Efficiency is not good. Cabin quality is cheap and not too cheerful. Drives well enough and acceleration is good. IMO.

So the key selling points for the Jeep are "the buttons work", "it's not that bad", and a "JEEP" logo. Good thing it's more expensive than the other two, so you can show off while you charge (very often due to the small battery). BTW, if the Megane's boot is too deep, they have an optional raised floor with stowage compartments underneath.

@@RobertDodgeyup there will be struggles, but I think a lot will make it, i do think they are intentionally dragging heels, keeping prices high, lobbying against policy changes. Once there is a bit of good competition suddenly all the German and Japanese brands will start pulling their finger out and start mass producing more basic cars. Or continue going for the premium market and hope for the best. Who knows let's wait and see what happens. At the end of the day would you rather have a VW or a honda or a relatively unknown brand. That game won't work in the long run though as people figure out who makes the best cars, and start trusting the new brands. Hyundai an Kia used to be jokes but now are way up there with the best EVs.

Nicola, i think your comments on the MG4 are a little exaggerated. It’s accelaration 0- 60mph and range are almost identical to the Tesla 3 Standard range. The floor of the boot can be lowered 2 or 3 inches to increase capacity. The indicator sound can be lowered from the consule. I have not experienced any whistling noise in my Extended range, and think this may be a manufacturing fault on that particular car. The handling is excellent and it has a very tight turning circle.

Plus the Jeep Avenger has a £0 advance payment, and a heat pump and a powered boot. So it’s a winner for me, I think, but it would be so good if you could assess how useful cars are for someone with dexterity issues and who needs easy access and stuff. Given that electric cars are cheap on motability and expensive for others, it’s likely that motability customers will make up a large number of first time cheap ev buyers. Love the content, by the way, I’m being entirely selfish. And please give Manos an Avenger. That’s actually the most important issue.

@bill_heywood 2 месяца назад

Glasses yes 🤓 Straw hat, not sure 👒 I really liked the Megane, the quality is impressive. But it is tight in the back seats. It's very narrow and your feet don't fit under the seats. That narrowness carries into the boot, not even a metre between the wheel wells. So it may be large in volume, but it isn't that practical and the load lip is massive, so you have to lift everything up and over. Great car if you aren't fussed about practicality

@gibroon4418 27 дней назад

I have the same thoughts as yourself. Although the boot is a good bit bigger, it isn't as functional or economic. I tried getting some golf clubs in and had to fold the seat down (all of the cars here would struggle) and the big step up from the boot made it a pain to get them in and out. The other 2 are flat with the seats down.

@bill_heywood 27 дней назад

@@gibroon4418 great point about the golf clubs, volume isn't everything. I have a giant hockey goalie bag and that wouldn't fit in the boot of the Megane, but it does in an MG4. Be great to see reviewers actually do a practical test with a longer item to see if it fits

@gibroon4418 27 дней назад

Like you said about the back seats, I also noticed the space difference for passengers. It wasn't bad in the Mégane but definitely more cramped compared to the MG4.

Muuuuuuuch more important that one-pedal driving is the blend of regen and mechanical braking on the brake pedal. Under normal circumstances, a car that does regen on the brake pedal well will do that well. I love how the Fiat 500e, for example, does that perfectly. The one-pedal driving drivers are those people who are constantly guessing whether or not they let go of the pedal at the right moment and will then either leave 3-5 meters between their car and the one that has stopped in front of them, or they have to emergency-brake when they misjudged it the other way 'round. People should learn to drive and don't bother with that "feature".

@crm114. 2 месяца назад

I disagree. Properly implemented, one pedal driving (using only regen) is easy to predict stopping distance and is the most efficient use of energy. I have to make a point of using the brakes on my Model 3 once a week just to keep them clean otherwise they don’t get used.

Both of you are obviously talking about a car that doesn't _have_ regen through the brake pedal. It forces you to use one pedal driving to have regen at all. I'm sure if I was forced to use it, I'd have to tell myself, too, that it's a good system.

MG has the software settings problem that apparently can’t be fixed coz of crash test ..😂😂😂😂ohh and do you get any feedback about MG4 doing random emergency stops when there’s nowt there 😮 a RU-vidr reported this on screen tuther day…and again…software can reduce sensitivity but again it forgets the user setting…already 🙄. Renault looks promising but those tyres wouldn’t last a week around here, we have to have 8” deep moon craters on our roads….Renault show sense with the paddles, assume there’s a model with smaller wheels to suit our roads…! But hey prices need addressing car makers..!

The megane is definitely the winner here. It also wins for reliability and safety tech of the three. Renault make much better EV's than stellantis and the MG4 is a bit too cheap-feeling with questionable reliability thus far

I was tempted my the Avenger, but went for a Tesla instead. Tesla offers the best value and best charging network.

Low built quality though. The Car of the Year Scenic is much higher quality.

Jeep: way to expensive to small and a verry small battery. Simply a granny or mommy to store car. Mg4: amazing price. infotainment thats slow, charging aint inclusive on route planning. not hearing great things when it comes to hardwhare. but has good charging and cant beat price. Megane: amazing on the inside infotainment that anny other brand can learn from (except tesla) priced a little high. but slow charging 37min. biggest letdown is its battery size for its size. car is a good format to fit a smal family and good boot. If it was a LFP is might change things

It seems to me that there has been a proliferation of YT videos comparing MG4s of different specs to pretty much everything. And they all find a reason to choose something else. Yet the stand-out reason for getting an MG4 is the price.-the only reason someone might buy the Extended Range over the Standard or "Short" range would be, duh, the longer range! So completely ignoring the range issue is simply bonkers. If you're going to ignore the range issue, then you should be looking at the standard range, which costs one-hell-of-a-lot-less. And that makes the choice a lot more interesting. How much does that perceived quality really cost you? When the difference is 150km (when you don't need it), then the choice may be easy, but 4 grand (or more) is a lot of beer vouchers, especially if driving from a to b is all you really need to do.

It's because MG4 came out first and became an instant hit. Also, people want the best value for money.

@@mrhdebater1607 Yeah, I know. I was just pointing out the basic falacies of so many of these "Comparisons". If they want to demonstrate the validity of buying, for example, an Megane, then they should stop with the BS and just tell us under what circs it might be the better buy. Personally, I am completely uninterested in anything with FWD, no matter how well it drives. Seriously we've been fed a diet of fwd "family" cars for what, 40 years? Now that it is possible to get RWD family cars,

@@davidcolin6519 It's a show designed to draw viewership. If picking a car was that easy then we'd all drive the same car. Many people wouldn't care about your opinion either if FWDs are cheaper than RWDs. I myself was an RWD driver, but now I don't care as long as the car works and doesn't bankrupts me as an owner.

@@mrhdebater1607 "If picking a car was that easy then we'd all drive the same car." Not at all, there aremany reasons why people buy the cars they buy, and range is just one of them. Personally, I think far too many people obsess about EV range, especially people who barely and rarely do more than 100 miles in a week. The vast majority hardly ever do round trips of over 100-150 miles, yet they insist on cars which have a range of more than 250! And how well automation works may be a much more important factor than even having that automation. There really are very few things that are more annoying than overzealous automations. My last car had automatic windscreen wipers that were more of a nuisance than a benefit, just one example. What I find interesting is that MG seem to be dealing with updates far better than most of the legacy (European) brands. FWIU, they have been updating their software very much in line with most cusyomers' needs, hardly something that can be said of most automakers. Having said that, if you start out with a (very) good base point, it is much easier to adjust to customers' needs. Having started out driving when both FWD and RWD were available at all levels of car ownership, and gone on to a time when only FWD was available to all except the "premium" brands, I am personally delighted that RWD is available to all again. But, as you pointed out, that is a personal choice, as is the point of how much a driver enjoys driving. I dare say that, if I lived in the UK, I almost certainly wouldn't get much enjoyment out of driving either. But I don't, and I do.

Or... Buy the '22 plate Megane, that's done 50 miles, which is on Autotrader for £20k! A £15 drop in price in less than a year - staggering.

There aren't any 22 plate Megane E-Techs on Autotrader. Not sure there are many in the UK full stop, it was launched in autumn 2022 on a 72 plate. Maybe the odd ex-demonstrator. In any case a 22 plate car is 2 years old now. And virtually every mainstream EV will lose 40% of its value in the first year (1 year old Megane E-Techs start at around £23k). The real electric bargains have a griffin badge though - a 1 year old, low mileage Corsa-e is £14k. £20k below list and near 60% depreciation.
