Designed with practicality and affordability in mind, this recent launch by Renault is super compact and carries a retro style best for city commutes. Scroll below to learn more about its exciting features.
Renault 5 E-Tech
Renault 5 is a practical car with a length of 154.3 inches, making city maneuvering easier, while a 326L boot is sufficient to support your grocery run. However, its 40:60 rear seat split can maximize the boot capacity if you have bulk errands in mind. If you come closer, you will see that it is a 4-door car suitable for accommodating two adults and two kids with compromised rear headroom and legroom. Its 18-inch wheels give it a sporty yet compact look to tolerate the bumpy city roads best.
Performance
Neither designed for straight speed or luxury, this car is nice and clean, more French-esque than futuristic. There are two available battery sizes: 40 kWh and 52 kWh. The smaller battery pack gives 95 HP and 156lb-ft torque, while the bigger battery pack provides 120 HP and l66lb-ft and covers 0 to 60 in 7 seconds. This B-segment mini offers 186 miles with a smaller battery and 249 miles with a bigger battery.
Sustainable Interior
This hatchback is a thoughtful, sustainable design with a dusty-colored interior suitable for daily driving. Its seats, dash, and door panels are made of denim extracted from recycled plastic bottles. It has fine leather upholstery with concealed airbags in the dash.
Having a 7-inch driver display and 10-inch infotainment system with all physical buttons doesn’t compel the driver to fumble on touch pads in the dark.
Special Features
The Renault 5 has got a ‘baguette holder’ specifically designed to keep the tabular loaf soft and fresh till the lunch break.
The best thing about this EV is that it has a bidirectional AC charging feature that saves on electricity bills while sending the currents back to the grid.
Available on sale next year at 25,000 pounds, it is expected to be a hit among people who love practicality while adding a touch of funkiness with its color schemes of pop-yellow, pop-green, black, white, and dark blue.
