To be launched for sale in 2024, the all-new Renault 5 E-Tech electric is not just an iconic model that is being reborn but also represents a big step for the French carmaker as it moved forward into the future.
Over the past few months, Renault has been offering glimpses of the new model and these teasers show how the exterior design has entirely new styling elements as well as some which are well remembered from the original model.
Here are four of the special features on the bodywork:
The new R5 will be offered with two battery pack options, one with a capacity of 52 kWh, for a range of up to 400 kms. The other battery pack will have a 40 kWh capacity, but it will only be available at a later date.
Global debut in Geneva
The global debut of the R5 E-Tech electric will be on February 26 at the Geneva International Motor Show. It will be priced from 25,000 euros (about RM128,300), a price level on par with B-segment hybrid models. More importantly, it will present a French-made rival to the low-priced Chinese models.
Buyers in France will also receive subsidies for EVs. from their government. As reported earlier, the government has implemented additional criteria to make a model eligible for subsidies and it takes into account emissions of carbon dioxide in the production process as well. This has resulted in many Chinese models no longer being eligible, taking away their advantage of low prices.
