The infamous Renault 5 is back! Despite being a supermini, the new Renault 5 E-Tech will be equipped with a set of 18” alloy wheels as standard.
This further adds to the sporty look that Renault promised when they released the concept.
Battery & Range
Customers in mainland Europe are expected to be offered an entry-level 94bhp motor. Meanwhile, the UK market will be offered two more powerful variants.
The entry-level variant is a 40kWh battery that produces 121bhp and a sufficient 225Nm of torque. The estimated range on the entry battery pack is 186 miles.
At the top of the range, sits a 52kWh battery pack, that produces 148bhp and 245Nm of torque. The estimated driving range of the top-level battery pack is 249 miles.
Charging
The entry-level battery pack is equipped with 80kW DC charging, although, upgrading increases this to 100kW, which means you could reach up to 80% battery capacity in just 15 minutes.
New Renault 5 Interior
The interior is a mix of modern tech, with a retro look. The waffle-effect headliner has been inspired by the 70’s original. The seats pay homage to the R5 and are finished with a mustard fabric, with the 5-logo inscribed.
The seats are finished off with recycled denim material on the Techno trim.
On the dashboard, you will find a 10” infotainment system, which is paired with a 10” digital instrument cluster located behind the steering wheel.
A new virtual assistant named “Reno”, powered by ChatGPT is designed to help new users to get the most out of their car.
You can ask the VA for useful information like “How do I change a tyre” or “How do I connect my phone”.
If you are stuck in slow-moving traffic, the smart VA will make recommendations to improve fuel efficiency, such as switching to eco mode.
