Renault Megane vs Skoda Enyaq

The Skoda Enyaq costs £7,015 more than the Renault Megane. For that premium it adds 145 litres more boot space. The Renault Megane is not just cheaper - it also offers 37 miles more WLTP range. On EVcarsguide's combined category scores, the Renault Megane comes out ahead overall.

The Renault Megane is £7,015 cheaper to buy. Running costs are almost identical - about £152 a year either way, at 8,000 miles on an off-peak home tariff. Add 5 years of charging and the Renault Megane comes out roughly £7,055 cheaper overall. These figures cover list price and home charging only - insurance, servicing, tyres and depreciation will move the real total.

EVcarsguide estimates a real-world motorway range of about 255 miles for the Renault Megane and 224 miles for the Skoda Enyaq - both below their WLTP figures, because sustained high speed is the hardest case for an EV. The Renault Megane goes roughly 30 miles further between charging stops. Both rapid-charge to 80% in a similar time, around 24-24 minutes.

The Renault Megane is the easier car for tight UK car parks: it is 111 mm narrower than the Skoda Enyaq. In a standard 2,400 mm bay that leaves about 632 mm of total clearance for the Renault Megane and about 521 mm of total clearance for the Skoda Enyaq. The Skoda Enyaq also turns in a 1.1 m tighter circle, which helps with U-turns and multi-storey ramps.

Over a 8-year ownership window EVcarsguide's degradation model projects roughly 90% battery health for the Renault Megane and 84% for the Skoda Enyaq. That gives the Renault Megane a modest edge in retained real-world range. The Renault Megane's LFP-type pack tolerates daily 100% charging, while the Skoda Enyaq's NMC-type pack lasts longest kept to about 80% for everyday use. Both batteries carry a 8-year manufacturer warranty.
