Renault 5 E-Tech Electric Design and Feature Details
The production version of the R5 lost the light bar on the tailgate to make way for a black trim piece. It features larger side view mirrors and traditional handles for the front doors rather than the show car's fancier handles. The black roof and red details indicate that we are looking at a high-quality version of the electric vehicle. Furthermore, the rear door handle is now larger and positioned on the C column.
Dedicated Platform and Rear Multilink Suspension
The third generation Renault 5 will be built on a dedicated platform, called AmpR Small, which will have a multi-link rear suspension, ensuring more precise driving for this innovative model.
New Modules and Energy Efficiency
The Renault 5 E-Tech will use just four larger modules compared to the Zoe model's 12 smaller modules, resulting in weight reduction and greater rigidity in the underbody. The adoption of a new electric motor, which will integrate the charger, power converter and auxiliary power management box, will eliminate another 20 kg. Additionally, batteries will benefit from a higher energy density compared to the Zoe, which will result in a more efficient vehicle.
Renault 5 E-Tech range and price
The initial version will come with a 52 kWh battery and capacity for 400 km of range, according to WLTP. Later, a cheaper variant with a 40 kWh pack and a shorter autonomy will be released. Regarding the price, the expectation is that the Renault 5 E-Tech will be sold for around 25.000 euros, equivalent to R$132.000 in a direct conversion.
World Premiere Date
The long-awaited world premiere of the Renault 5 E-Tech is scheduled for February 26 at the 2024 Geneva Motor Show, promising to revolutionize the electric vehicle market.
