Here at Renault Retail Group, we're absolutely thrilled to share some momentous news! The highly anticipated Renault 5 E-Tech electric has been crowned "Car of the Year 2025" at the prestigious Car Dealer Power Awards!
What makes this award truly special is that it's voted for by car retailers from across the entire country, regardless of the franchises they represent. This unique recognition from our peers across the automotive industry speaks volumes about the impact and appeal of this remarkable new electric vehicle.
Car Dealer Power Awards honour the finest suppliers in the motor trade, with winners selected from thousands of entries. In the manufacturer categories, dealers rank their partners and also vote for the ultimate accolade: Car of the Year.
James Baggott, Editor-in-Chief of Car Dealer Magazine, lauded the Renault 5 E-Tech electric, stating: “The Renault 5 has been winning awards and plaudits from the automotive industry since it burst on the scene earlier this year. But, in many ways, this is the award that really matters.”
He continued: “The Renault 5 has both added some much-needed excitement to the lower end of the electric car market, and given Renault dealers some fire in their bellies. This small car is delivering a huge impact. It's the right car at the right time – congratulations Renault.”
Adam Wood, Managing Director, Renault UK, expressed his pride: “Car Retailers are the backbone of the automotive industry and are playing a pivotal role in the UK’s electrification journey. We are proud of this award, which shows endorsement from existing partners and competitor franchisees alike, further proving that Renault 5 E-Tech electric has brought some extra sparkle to the UK’s electric vehicle market. Thank you to our colleagues across the industry for this recognition.”
The Renault 5 E-Tech electric's impact is already being felt. In April, it was the UK’s best-selling EV in retail channels, and its strong performance contributed to Renault securing the number one position for private 100% electric registrations in both April and May!
Referencing the iconic style of the original model while embodying modernity, the Renault 5 E-Tech electric offers agile handling and innovative technology, delivering a driving range of up to 252 miles on a single charge. Available from £22,995 OTR, it's designed to be fun to drive and captivating to look at, with vibrant colours recalling its legendary predecessor.
This "Car of the Year" award from our industry peers is a fantastic endorsement of the Renault 5 E-Tech electric's design, performance, and its significant role in accelerating the UK's electric vehicle transition. Come and experience the excitement for yourself at Renault Retail Group!
