A historic milestone for the electric Renault 5!
- Published on 02/12/2025 12:45
In just 15 months, the Renault 5 E-Tech electric reaches a symbolic milestone for French production.
The Manufacture Ampere ElectriCity in Douai has produced 100,000 Renault 5 E-Tech electric vehicles since its commercial launch in October 2024. Each day, around 900 vehicles roll off the assembly line, two-thirds of which are Renault 5 E-Tech electric. This steady pace confirms the commercial success of the model, already a leader in the electric B segment in Europe.
The Renault 5 E-Tech electric offers five trims, from the Five version to the Roland-Garros, with three powertrains and two battery capacities. This diversity allows it to meet varied uses and budgets. Starting in spring 2026, new features will enrich the lineup: the One Pedal function, which facilitates braking in the city, and an advanced driver attention monitoring system.
The “made in France” in the spotlight
The 100,000th unit produced is a Techno version with a 52 kWh battery assembled this week. Certified Origine France Garantie, it was manufactured on the same line as five other electric models… from three different brands! Renault Mégane and Scénic E-Tech electric, Alpine A290, Nissan Micra, and Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross. Three teams rotate to ensure daily production, with a night team added since October 2025.
In France, the Renault 5 E-Tech electric is the leader in the electric market and also stands out in the UK, the Netherlands, Spain, as well as in Turkey, Israel, and Morocco. This international success illustrates Renault’s achievement in transforming an iconic model into a symbol of modern mobility. A risky bet that proves fruitful beyond all expectations.

Renault now just has to convert the success with the new electric Twingo. While the look of the model has everything to attract, it remains to convince users of the relevance of the technical choices. Limited range and lack of fast charging… characteristics typical of the Renault 5 Five, so care must be taken not to step on each other’s toes between cousins!
