First launched in the 1970s, the Renault 5 was an icon of urban mobility in Europe, especially with the Turbo versions winning numerous racing awards.
More than 50 years later, Renault revives this model with the Renault 5 E-Tech, a modern all-electric model that retains its distinctive design but is comprehensively upgraded in terms of technology and performance.
If the original made its name thanks to the Turbo versions that won rally championships, the Renault 5 E-Tech today is shaped as a compact, modern and environmentally friendly urban electric car.
Performance test results at each speed
In the real-world range test, the Renault 5 E-Tech was tested on the same two-way road at a constant speed, at an ambient temperature of 19°C, which is close to ideal.
At 60 km/h, the car achieved a consumption of 8.8 kWh/100km, the lowest among the cars ever tested, thanks to its light weight and compact size, outstanding features of the previous model.
Accelerating to 90 km/h, the Renault 5 E-Tech still maintains superior performance compared to its competitors. Despite its angular, retro design, which results in a suboptimal drag coefficient (0.32 Cd), the car still scores points with impressive energy efficiency.
At its top speed of 130 km/h, the Renault 5 E-Tech struggles due to its poor wind resistance and small battery capacity. The car vibrates a lot at this speed, suggesting it is not suitable for long-term maintenance. However, with a range of around 240 km on a full charge, this is still a commendable result in the segment.
Orientation for urban
The Renault 5 E-Tech combines retro design, compact dimensions and modern electric performance, making it ideal for urban users. Despite its small battery capacity, the efficient powertrain ensures an impressive range.
A detailed review will be published soon, but it's safe to say Renault has succeeded in recreating the spirit of the Renault 5 for the electric era.
