20,680 euros for the most affordable Renault 5

The Renault 5 E-Tech electric Five is indeed the attractive electric city car expected, but it’s not available at 20,000 euros for everyone.

Since its launch in October 2024, the Renault 5 E-Tech electric has been a commercial success, with over 40,000 units sold and a prominent place in the market for electric vehicles sold to individuals in Europe. June 5, 2025 marks a new milestone with the opening of orders for the Five version, the most affordable in the lineup. Officially priced from €20,680, this amount includes the now-famous CEE bonus of €310 and an environmental bonus of €4,000, but only available to the most modest households. For a buyer benefiting only from the standard bonus of €2,000, the price rises to €22,680, well above the initially announced €20,000 for the entry-level model.

For this price, the Renault 5 E-Tech electric Five offers a motorization of 70 kW (95 hp) and a 40 kWh battery providing up to 312 km of WLTP range. With only AC charging at 11kW, it is designed solely for urban and suburban trips. Forget about any journey exceeding its range. On board, the standard equipment includes manual air conditioning, Full LED headlights, the dual OpenR screen (7″ and 10″), Android Auto/Apple CarPlay, and an electric parking brake.

For the dashboard and steering wheel, you have to settle for plastic that is more or less pleasing to the eye and touch. Similarly, you have to accept the absence of a central armrest. But for this price, nothing too surprising, and the overall experience remains quite pleasant.

By July 2025, the range will expand with an intermediate version featuring a 52 kWh battery and a more powerful 150 hp motor, increasing the range to 410 km WLTP. Priced from €27,180 (after maximum bonus deducted), it will target users looking for more versatility.

Renault 5 Range:

Manufactured in France, certified Origine France Garantie, and already acclaimed in numerous markets, the Renault 5 E-Tech electric retains the spirit of the legendary Supercinq while aligning with the energy transition. However, its actual entry price, excluding the maximum bonus, places it well above the initial promises, a point that could temper enthusiasm around its democratization.
