Frequently asked questions
Which is cheaper to own over 5 years, the Audi A2 e-tron or the Renault Megane?
The Renault Megane is £205 cheaper to buy. Running costs are almost identical - about £136 a year either way, at 8,000 miles on an off-peak home tariff. Add 5 years of charging and the two land within £125 of each other - effectively the same to own. These figures cover list price and home charging only - insurance, servicing, tyres and depreciation will move the real total.
What are the Audi A2 e-tron and Renault Megane like on a long motorway trip?
EVcarsguide estimates a real-world motorway range of about 219 miles for the Audi A2 e-tron and 255 miles for the Renault Megane - both below their WLTP figures, because sustained high speed is the hardest case for an EV. The Renault Megane goes roughly 36 miles further between charging stops. Both rapid-charge to 80% in a similar time, around 24-24 minutes.
Which is easier to park and drive in town, the Audi A2 e-tron or the Renault Megane?
The two are within 21 mm on width, so neither is meaningfully easier to thread into a tight space. In a standard 2,400 mm bay that leaves about 632 mm of total clearance for the Renault Megane and about 611 mm of total clearance for the Audi A2 e-tron.
Which battery will hold up better as a used buy, the Audi A2 e-tron or the Renault Megane?
Over a 8-year ownership window EVcarsguide's degradation model projects roughly 90% battery health for the Audi A2 e-tron and 90% for the Renault Megane. That is close enough that capacity loss should not decide between them. Both use LFP-type cells, which are happy charged to 100% every day.
