The Evolution
The entry-level Evolution trim gets the Renault 5 E-TECH off to a terrific start, its smoothly contoured body exuding automotive sophistication while delivering enhanced aerodynamism. A brand new grille replaces the one featured on the outgoing combustion-engined Renault 5, and it lights up whenever you approach, instantly demonstrating the connection between driver and vehicle. This people-friendly fascia incorporates eye-like automatic High Beam LED headlamps too, which appear to wink as you proceed towards them. Other standard-issue features include 18-inch alloy wheels and hands-free access.
The inside of the vehicle is no less captivating. Comprising rounded-off rectangles and soft-touch materials, the cabin is a sight for sore eyes, the kind of environment you’ll be aching to return to.
It’s comfortable too, featuring H-shaped seats that echo those found in the classic R5 Turbo of the 70s and 80s. Moreover, thanks to the inclusion of a highly efficient heat pump, establishing your ideal cabin temperature is as easy as can be.
Standard-issue tech includes a customisable 10-inch digital instrument panel that provides all the car-related information you’ll ever need. It’s paired with a 10-inch touchscreen display, which is centrally positioned and provides access to a wide range of infotainment features.
This baseline grade comes with an array of driver assist systems too. For instance, Driver Vigilance Warning monitors your attentiveness, alerting you when it’s time to take a break.
The Techno
Rather delightfully, the second-tier Techno’s seats are upholstered in denim, perfectly reflecting the all-new Renault 5’s fun and funky nature. This stylishly homely material features elsewhere too, on door panels and dashboard, for instance.
Other Techno upgrades include Renault’s award-winning, intuitive and super-slick openR Link multimedia system, which can be operated by touch or voice control. It’s compatible with Apple and Android smartphones and offers seamless wireless integration.
Techno trims also feature Multi Sense System, a clever technology that lets you personalise your motoring experience with ECO, Sport and configurable MY Sensedrive modes. Each mode affects steering, powertrain response, and ambient cabin lighting in different ways. Additional safety features include Active Driver Assist (incorporating Adaptive Cruise Control and Stop & Go) and a reversing camera.
The boldest, brightest Renault 5 E-Tech version
The Iconic Five is brimming with savoir faire. For example, this trim’s seats are comprised of elegant grey tones that are highlighted with flashes of brilliant yellow on the ‘H’ outline and backlit RENAULT5 insignia.To ensure optimal comfort, both front seats are heated, as is the steering wheel.
Extra driver assist features include a hands-free technology which helps with parking by controlling the steering wheel and brakes while you put pressure on the accelerator. Furthermore, thanks to the inclusion of front, rear and side-mounted sensors, potential obstacles are routinely monitored.
Two battery options
As standard, the Renault 5 E-Tech is equipped with a 40kWh lithium-ion battery which enables a range of up to 186 miles. Need more range? A 52kWh version allows the car to travel even further on a single charge – up to 248 miles; it also delivers 0-62mph in less than eight seconds. Whichever option you choose, it features a liquid cooling system that regulates temperature, and facilitates battery preconditioning to optimise charging times.
Full connected
Renault’s advanced openR Link technology delivers enhanced multimedia satisfaction via Google Play (available with Techno and Iconic 5 grades). With more than 50 apps at your disposal, there are plenty of audio and news-delivery options and much more besides. For instance, one function of Google Maps (via openR Link) is its ability to calculate battery levels in relation to your destination. Where necessary, it will suggest charging stops while providing you with an estimation of how long a top-up will take. Whenever you identify a particular charging station, it also provides power rating and payment method details. Simultaneously, it accounts for battery preconditioning, thus ensuring optimal charging and journey planning.
Made to measure
The Renault 5 E-TECH is just 3.92m, which means it falls firmly within the supermini class – however, since it uses the new AmpR Small platform, it maximises interior space. This means it easily accommodates a three-seat rear bench, for example. What’s more, since the battery is situated beneath the floor, there’s enough room for a 326-litre boot, which further expands whenever 60/40 split-folding rear seats are dropped. This bespoke platform helps to deliver optimised safety, agility and efficiency too – and it enables a range of up to 248 miles.
