The legendary Renault 5 is back, reinvented for the modern era as the Renault 5 E-Tech electric. This exciting new model pays homage to the beloved original while embracing cutting-edge electric vehicle technology.
A Design Inspired by the Past, Built for the Future
The Renault 5 E-Tech electric’s design unmistakably draws inspiration from its predecessors, blending elements from the Renault 5, Supercinq, and the iconic Renault 5 Turbo. The modern interpretation features large 18-inch wheels, minimal overhangs, and a compact yet spacious design.
A Choice of Powertrains and Ranges

Two electric motors are available, delivering either 90 kW (120 hp) or 110 kW (150 hp).
