Renault 5 E-Tech: Retro Style Meets Sustainable Design

If you're tired of hearing about the exorbitantly priced electric vehicles from Rolls Royce, Tesla, or Lucid, then the Renault 5 E-Tech might be just what you're looking for. Designed with practicality and affordability in mind, this latest offering from Renault is a super compact car with a retro style that's perfect for city commutes. Below, we delve into the exciting features of this new vehicle.

Compact and Practical Design

The Renault 5 E-Tech is a practical car, measuring 154.3 inches in length, which makes it easy to maneuver in city traffic. It boasts a 326-liter boot that's sufficient for your grocery runs. However, if you have bulkier errands in mind, the 40:60 rear seat split can maximize the boot capacity. The car is a 4-door model that can comfortably accommodate two adults and two children, although the rear headroom and legroom are somewhat compromised. With its 18-inch wheels, the car has a sporty yet compact look that's well-suited for navigating bumpy city roads.

Performance and Battery Options

The Renault 5 E-Tech isn't designed for straight-line speed or luxury; instead, it offers a clean, French-inspired driving experience. The car comes with two battery size options: 40 kWh and 52 kWh. The smaller battery pack delivers 95 HP and 156 lb-ft of torque, while the larger battery pack offers 120 HP and 166 lb-ft of torque, enabling the car to go from 0 to 60 mph in 7 seconds. In terms of range, the B-segment mini offers 186 miles with the smaller battery and 249 miles with the larger battery.

Interior

This hatchback features a thoughtful, sustainable design with a dusty-colored interior that's perfect for daily driving. The seats, dashboard, and door panels are made from denim extracted from recycled plastic bottles. Additionally, the car has fine leather upholstery with concealed airbags in the dashboard. The car is equipped with a 7-inch driver display and a 10-inch infotainment system with physical buttons, ensuring that the driver doesn't have to fumble with touchpads in the dark.

Special Features

One unique feature of the Renault 5 E-Tech is its 'baguette holder,' which is specifically designed to keep a baguette soft and fresh until lunchtime. Another standout feature is the car's bidirectional AC charging capability, which allows it to save on electricity bills by sending current back to the grid.

Pricing and Availability

The Renault 5 E-Tech is expected to go on sale next year for 25,000 pounds. It's expected to be a hit among those who value practicality and want to add a touch of funkiness to their daily commute, with color schemes available in White, Black, dark blue, pop yellow, pop green.
