Renault press release
RENAULT 5 E-TECH ELECTRIC, THE NEW FACE OF THE ELECTRIC REVOLUTION
What could be better than a pop icon to popularize the electric car in Europe?
Phenomenon car - avant-garde, versatile and economical - the Renault 5 was able to support millions of families in its time through the challenges of its time: the oil crisis, the change in uses or even the arrival of a second car in the home. Faithful to this heritage of wild modernity, Renault 5 E-Tech electric boldly responds to the societal and environmental challenges of its time - sobriety, sustainability, reduced carbon footprint.
“Favorite” design, a delightful and easy experience of electric and digital technology, local, responsible and circular production… It has all the assets to become the benchmark city car for the electric transition.
To find in the production vehicle all the seduction of the show car presented in January 2021, the design, engineering and product teams worked together, in commando mode, using a reverse process “from sketch to street”. Whereas the design of the vehicle is usually constrained by the platform on which it will be based. This time the engineers had to imagine the platform that corresponded to Luca de Meo’s favorite: a resin model imagined by “Advanced Design”. Renault 5 E-TECH electric is the first vehicle entirely designed on AmpR Small, the new Ampere platform dedicated to B segment electric vehicles. This makes it a unique vehicle on the market, benefiting from marked competitive advantages: flat floor, wheelbase long (2.54 m), optimized habitability and trunk volume (326 liters), lower center of gravity, contained weight (less than 1,500 kilos), etc. The AmpR Small platform also enabled numerous economies of scale without compromising on electrical components and technologies useful to customers. This disruptive and unique approach in the company also made it possible to reduce the development period to just three years.
Renault 5 E-Tech electric thus inaugurates a new bidirectional AC charger compatible with V2L (vehicle to load) and V2G (vehicle-to-grid) technologies. This latest pioneering system, and expected to become widespread, will allow the vehicle to become a real player in the energy ecosystem via Mobilize services, by wisely reinjecting carbon-free electricity into the network. The user benefits from this system from significant savings on their electricity bill.
Under the hood, the Renault 5 E-Tech electric electric motor is more compact than that of the Mégane E-Tech electric and Scénic E-Tech electric from which it is derived. It remains faithful to the preferred technology used by Renault: synchronous with wound rotor. Without permanent magnets, it does not use rare earths and thus reduces its environmental impact. This engine, which benefits in terms of durability from the experience of its predecessors, will be offered in three power levels: 110, 90 or 70 kW.
Intuitive and warm
In addition to Google's connected services, Renault 5 E-Tech electric introduces the interactive Reno avatar, a true traveling companion, intelligent and complicit. Developed by Renault to facilitate and enhance its customers' electric car experience and make it more intuitive, Reno has a real personality. It responds to user questions and commands (for example: “Hey Reno, schedule an 80% charge for tomorrow at 8 a.m.” or “Hey Reno, how can I optimize my range?”) and gives the vehicle a full relational signature of empathy.
Renault Group has made the committed choice to produce Renault 5 E-Tech electric in France - including for its battery from March 2025. Each vehicle and the batteries will thus be assembled at the Douai factory, which was one of the production sites for the Original Renault 5, with a motor (electric machine, gearbox, power electronics) manufactured in Cléon and modules produced in the Douai Gigafactory (Envision AESC partnership) from summer 2025. By 2030, those -these will have a carbon footprint reduced by 35% compared to those of ZOE.
In addition to the Evolution and Techno finishes, the Renault 5 E-Tech electric range will be headed by a so-called “Collection” version, designed according to the principles of haute couture to evolve each year. For the launch, it will be Iconic Cinq. Numerous new customization accessories, including 3D printed stripping and storage, make this model highly customizable.
