The sudden drop in ecological bonus 2025 forces dealerships and manufacturers to make an extra effort with attractive discounts.
The early revision of the ecological bonus 2025 has the merit of forcing manufacturers out of the woods. Reduced by 2000 euros, the eco-transition aid now seems to be offset by brands and dealerships. Proof that we have not yet reached the “fair price” for electric cars and that margins remain quite strong.
The example of this Renault R5 150 AUTONOMY CONFORT ICONIC FIVE 52 KWH is striking: with nearly new second-hand models already registered, dealerships Renault have already received the 2024 bonus of 4000 euros, yet they are willing to offer discounts of 2390 euros. You don’t need to be a math whiz to see that there’s a sleight of hand!
So, it’s clever to point out that you’re not fools. But you should already be thinking a bit further. First, every day, dealership parking lots are filling up with more and more models. Delivery times are getting shorter, and salespeople have already accepted that discounts should no longer be delayed.
No less expensive than in 2024?
The days when discounts waited months before becoming the norm for selling a car are long gone. Today, the list price is purely indicative, but no one really refers to it anymore. The fair price depends on the exchange between the customer and the dealership. The magic of the internet allows you to know exactly the “weather” of sales.
The large Renault Scenic resisted longer but eventually had to bow to the commercial assault of the Tesla Model Y Propulsion, which dropped to 36,990 euros since summer 2024. The intellectual footprint is now set for the Renault R5, whose premium positioning is a double-edged sword. Its size makes it expensive for family budgets, which still find it hard to grasp the savings made on operating costs.
No matter: it is now accepted that a Renault dealership, beyond the ecological bonus 2025, is willing to offer discounts of 6 to 10% on the new electric R5. Useful to symbolically own a high-performance, attractive version priced below 30,000 euros.
Finally, remember that when purchasing, choosing leasing can be preferable, as it allows you to enjoy a cutting-edge electric car in a few years, benefitting from the latest technological advances.
