Renault will unveil the world premiere of the Renault 5 E-Tech electric on February 26 at the Geneva Motor Show.
Measuring 3.92 meters in length, the Renault 5 E-Tech electric is clearly designed for city driving. This 100% icon receives a 52 kWh battery offering up to 400 km WLTP range. This seems very ambitious, even with a vehicle of extraordinary efficiency. However, this 52 kWh format remains more than sufficient for urban use and some longer trips. This battery offering will later be expanded with the introduction of a second 40 kWh battery.
The entry-level price of the Renault 5 E-Tech electric will be around 25,000 euros, comparable to B-segment hybrids. It will be unveiled on February 26 at the Geneva International Motor Show.
To begin unveiling the production model before its official reveal, Renault offers a quick tour of the vehicle by revealing some exterior design details that are nods to its predecessor.
The front lights
Distinctive among many, the face of the R5 owes much to its lights. First, their shape, but also their graphic marking in the center of the lens. Like a nod to the “Supercar Adventures,” the famous 1972 commercial, the “pupil” effect gives a humanized touch to the modern R5.
A luminous charge indicator on the hood
On the front of the vehicle, the air intake on the hood of the classic model is gone. As an external sign of the Renault 5 E-Tech electric’s place in the electric universe, it has been replaced by a luminous charge indicator, whose graphic forms an iconic number “5” when fully charged.
Tech-savvy, playful, and practical, this indicator that allows you to easily see the battery charge level is a great example of an accessible and humanized interface.
The wheel arches
The widened wheel arches enlarge the R5 silhouette. They give it a perceived compactness and visual groundedness. Their graphic design reinforces its unique and instantly recognizable character, like the R5 Turbo.
The rear lights
The vertical rear lights incorporate a lighting function that extends the side of the bodywork. This element contributes to the aerodynamic efficiency of the R5 by reducing disruptive air turbulence.
