Renault 5 E-Tech Electric: Increased Range, Five Version Becomes More Versatile
The city car grows in versatility thanks to several improvements, starting with the battery options. Available with the Evolution and Techno trims and paired with a 90 kW motor (120 hp), the 40 kWh variant now delivers up to 315 km of range (WLTP), up from 312 previously. The 52 kWh variant, paired with the 110 kW motor (150 hp), climbs from 410 to 430 km (WLTP) on the Evolution, Techno, Iconic Five and Roland-Garros trims. In terms of pricing, the R5 with the 40 kWh battery starts at €22,310 (Evolution trim), while the 52 kWh version is offered from €25,810 (see the full price table below). The Five version, still in the lineup, also undergoes a substantial evolution. It remains in the catalog but gradually shifts away from its current 95 hp and 40 kWh setup toward an 80 kW (110 hp) motor derived from the Twingo. This is paired with a 36.5 kWh LFP battery for a range of up to 305 km (WLTP). Another major change concerns charging: alongside a 6.6 kW onboard AC charger, it now ships with a standard DC 80 kW charger.
Renault 5 E-Tech Electric: New Colors and More Personalization
On the personalization front, a new color Rouge Flamme joins the lineup on the Five to Iconic Five finishes. A new Gris Schiste Métallisé shade will be available, spanning Evolution to Roland-Garros trims. The Starry Black roof can be paired, notably with a Rouge Alu or Warm Titanium roof edging. The Techno wheels can now receive a Gold finish (as an option) on Techno and Iconic Five. The Renault configurator now features new roof and wing stickers named Vibrant5 and Hyper5. Inside, the Iconic trim updates with a blue knitted upholstery replacing the previous yellow-toned option.
In terms of tech, the emergency call system e-call gains 4G network compatibility. A new wireless smartphone charger debuts, compatible with the Qi2 standard, and it is both magnetic and cooled to improve charging strength while reducing overheating risks. The R5 also adopts the Smart driving mode in place of the previous Perso mode, automatically adjusting the car’s behavior among Eco, Comfort, and Sport based on driving style. This automation reduces the need for the Multi-Sense control on the steering wheel, which is removed; mode changes remain accessible via the OpenR Link display or voice commands.
Finally, the R5 gains a new connectivity offer: 2 GB of mobile data per month for three years, or for the duration of the leasing contract with Mobilize Financial Services. This data package is designed to cover daily use of the onboard apps. Another novelty is the arrival of Gemini, Google’s artificial intelligence assistant. It will be accessible as part of an optional OTA update to Google Assistant, enabling more natural conversations and more complex tasks. The new Renault 5 E-Tech Electric lineup will be unveiled at the 2026 Paris Auto Show, running from October 12 to 18.
