The Renault 5 E-Tech, an electric marvel, is drawing attention at London's St Pancras station. The exhibition, running from July 22 to August 11, showcases this innovative vehicle and celebrates the cultural connection between England and France.
Technical Specifications of Renault 5
The Renault 5 E-Tech, set to begin production in 2024, is a B-segment electric car inspired by the original Renault 5. The concept was unveiled in January 2021 and the production model was officially revealed at the Geneva Motor Show in February 2024. Here are its key technical specifications:
- Wheelbase: 2,540 mm
- Length: 3,920 mm
- Width: 1,770 mm
- Height: 1,500 mm
- Motor: Synchronous electric motor with permanent magnets
- Power: 70 kW (94 hp; 95 PS) or 90 kW (121 hp; 122 PS) with a 40 kWh battery, and 110 kW (148 hp; 150 PS) with a 52 kWh battery
- Range: Up to 400 km according to WLTP
Miniature Models for Lucky Visitors
Some visitors have the chance to take home miniature models of the Renault 5. These small versions serve as delightful souvenirs and reminders of this unique exhibition. This event not only informs about the new electric vehicle but also brings joy to brand enthusiasts.
The Renault 5 is expected to be a smaller car with a more affordable price tag. The electric vehicle market still lacks a budget-friendly car for the general public—a true 'people's car'. Electric vehicles offer a greener alternative to traditional cars and bring innovations in technology and design, but they remain financially out of reach for many. Could the Renault 5 change this scenario? Some sources suggest prices over CZK 850,000, while others mention around CZK 600,000. The latter would certainly be more appealing to Czech customers.
