The new electric car was presented at the Geneva Motor Show. The Five will go on sale on the European market later this year.
The French company presented a prototype of a hatchback with a revived name — Renault 5 — in 2021. The production of the model's predecessor was launched from 1972 to 1996. The brand shared teasers of the serial new product at the end of last fall, and now Renault has completely declassified the production version of its “five”, which received the addition of E-Tech to the name.

During the presentation, the manufacturer named the starting price tag of the “five”: in the old-world market, a basic five-door can be will be purchased for approximately 25,000 euros (equivalent to approximately 2.51 million rubles at the current exchange rate). The indicated price puts the new product among the most affordable electric vehicles in Europe.
The appearance of the show car also indicated that the new Renault 5 E-Tech would be in some way a “reincarnation” of the 1972 original. As we can see, the design of the production version of the city car has remained virtually unchanged when compared with the concept in terms of retro style. The length of the “electric hatch” is 3.92 meters, width – 1.77 meters, height – 1.5 meters, and the distance between the axles is 2.54 meters.
The new “five” has the same silhouette and many details are similar. The production version received a digital display integrated into the hood with a traction battery charge indicator: when the battery is fully charged, the display displays the number 5. The model was equipped with LED headlights with a small French flag and “frames” of running lights, as well as vertical rear lights that are interconnected wide stripe: here in the center is the brand name, and on the side is the model index.
