The verdict

What's good

RWD layout gives unexpectedly playful handling for a city-focused electric hatch
One of the most affordable new EVs in any market with a usable feature set
Compact dimensions make city parking and tight urban maneuvering genuinely effortless
Google-integrated tech screen punches well above the entry-level price tag

What's not

Range of 240 miles limits multi-city trips without planning around chargers
Rear seat is best suited to children — adult rear occupants are cramped
Charging speed is modest and AC-only on base variants
Resale value for entry-price EVs with limited range tends to be more volatile

The engine

E-Tech

Single-Motor Electric (FWD)

A light, eager front-driven EV tuned for nimble city and B-road fun rather than straight-line drama, with instant low-speed torque suiting its compact hatchback character.

Built on the AmpR Small platform, a dedicated small-EV architecture derived from the Renault-Nissan Common Module Family, reviving the iconic Renault 5 nameplate as an electric car since 2024.

The reborn Renault 5 E-Tech offers up to roughly 248 miles (400 km) of WLTP range from its 52 kWh battery.
Both battery sizes use NMC (nickel-manganese-cobalt) chemistry.
It launched with a sub-25,000-euro base price, positioning the EV as an affordable, accessible electric car for Europe.
