It’s finally here! In simplest terms, the new 5 is Renault’s B-segment electric replacement for the Zoe. But actually, it’s much more than that – it’s the beginning of Renault lighting the retro EV afterburners with e-incarnations of the 4 and Twingo coming down the pipe. The 5 has barely changed from the 2021 concept that stole our hearts with its retro influences – with Renault claiming the production car is 95 per cent faithful to the original.
Three power outputs are available, all single motor and front-wheel drive: 148bhp (181lb ft of torque, 0-62mph in under , top speed 93mph), 118bhp or 94bhp… although the latter probably won’t be offered in the UK. You’ll have the pick of two battery sizes – 52kWh for a range of around 249 miles and 40kWh for a range of circa 186 miles. Max DC charging speed is 100kW, or 30mins from 15 to 80 per cent.
Cost? Whilst we don’t have exact figures yet, Renault has said it’ll start ‘from £25k’ but really, how many cars come with an optional baguette holder?
Join TG’s Jack Rix for a proper deep dive into the new 5, and a step back in time to his childhood…
