Renault Launches All-Electric 5 E-Tech, Aiming to Lead Europe's EV Market

The competitively priced supermini features innovative technologies and a design that pays homage to the original, marking a significant move in the face of Chinese competition.

Renault unveils the all-electric 5 E-Tech at the Geneva International Motor Show, marking a significant step in its 'Renaulution' strategy.
The electric supermini is competitively priced at around €25,000 ($27,100), aiming to make electric vehicles more accessible.
Renault's 5 E-Tech features innovative technologies such as bidirectional charging, vehicle-to-grid capabilities, and a range of up to 400km (249 miles).
The vehicle is designed and built on Ampere's new B-segment EV platform, showcasing a 'retrofuturistic design' that pays homage to the original Renault 5.
Renault's move is seen as a defense against the influx of cheaper Chinese electric vehicles, with the 5 E-Tech being central to its efforts to offer affordable EVs in Europe.
