The only engine of the Renault Mégane E-Tech that we have documented, the Renault-Nissan CMF-EV (Mégane E-Tech, Ariya), has high or critical severity faults in the versions it is fitted to. Our verdict for the versions it is fitted to: «With caution».[1][2]

Outside the engine: The 86 owner reports on fiches-auto.fr and a Renault notice cited by L'Argus point to the OpenR Link multimedia system and the charging port cover as weak points on the Mégane E-Tech, with suspension noises mentioned less often; charging faults are assessed under its electric drivetrain. These are owners' accounts, not a study, and the British press (Parkers, DrivingElectric) acknowledges that there is still no solid reliability data.[1][3][4][5]
