Fabrice Cambolive, CEO Renault, said: “The new Renault 5 is a cult icon redesigned for the modern era. For this interesting car, designed and produced in France, we pulled out all the stops. With its cheerful design and new generation technologies, we are making electric cars more attainable in Europe.”
Starting price electric Renault 5
Although the market launch is still some time away, Renault can already name a starting price. Although, a starting price indication. “The starting price of the Renault 5 E-Tech electric will be around 25,000 euros, similar to the base price of hybrid models in the B-segment,” said the Renault spokesman.
Two battery variants
The all-new model will be available in two battery variants, including a 52 kWh version with a range of up to 400 kilometers (WLTP). The 3.92-meter-long Renault 5 E-Tech electric will also come later with a 40 kWh battery. But we can already reveal more details.
Design Renault 5 E-Tech electric
Take the headlights. They make the front end instantly recognizable. Not only is the shape distinctive, but also the central lens reminiscent of the pupil of the eye. This is a reference to the ads from 1972, with “The Adventures of Supercar,” just so you know. Wide wheel arches and corner-mounted, vertical taillights are other features of the model.
Charge status indicator
The air intake on the hood of the classic Renault 5 has been omitted from the new Renault 5 E-Tech electric. In its place is a charge status indicator, whose lights form a “5” when the battery is fully charged. The indicator is a playful element, as well as a functional one. This allows the charging status to be read at a glance, even for bystanders.

Comeback Renault 5
Arnaud Belloni, Global Chief Marketing Officer for Renault, said: “For the comeback of this icon, we wanted something different from a traditional market launch. Step by step, we are unveiling the design of this retro-futuristic model, with a large-scale communication plan prior to the launch. The Renault 5 is undoubtedly the ideal model for this approach. We are talking about the rebirth, or even the reinvention of a legend. It is without doubt one of the most iconic models in the history of the French automobile industry.”
