The original angular design has been modernized, but carries important details such as the shape of the hatchback, the signature of the rear light and the window line.
Renault has confirmed that the All-Electric City hatchback will debut in production in 2022, before production starts in 2024.
Under the skin, the Renault 5 will use the CMF-BEV electrical platform of the Renault-Nissan-Mitsubishi Alliance. It is designed for the Volkswagen Polo-sized car and promises a one-third reduction in the price of the new electric car.
Renault has not yet released details of the power and torque output of the electric hatchback, battery size and range. It is understood that the CMF-BEV platform can range up to 400km in WLTP testing.
A new Nissan Micra electric city car, as previously teased, will also be based on the platform below the Renault 5, as will a high-performance alpine version.
Renault’s retro revolution won’t end with the upcoming 5. The brand’s electric rollout will include the Renault 4-inspired 4ever SUV, which was recently leaked in a patent image, as well as a potential rebirth Scenic crossover.
