The Renault 5 E-Tech is the new electric compact, and I put it through its paces in Nice, France. 00:00 First Impressions The Renault 5, in its new electric version, greets us with a compact design and a striking green colour. It is the first time we have seen and tested the model in person, after having seen it only at exhibitions, and today we can finally experience it in real conditions. From the first moment, its 110 kW of power (equivalent to 150 horsepower) and its large 52 kWh battery, which promises a WLTP range of up to 410 km, stand out. Adjusting the seat and setting the controls manually, we get into details such as regulating the air conditioning and driving mode, all with a well-thought-out interior that includes several buttons for detailed adjustments. In this first part, we explore how the Renault 5's interior configuration and equipment provide an intuitive and comfortable experience for the driver. We start the journey with the battery at 100% and plan the route to measure its performance on different types of road. The 10-inch touchscreen infotainment system with Android Automotive allows us to search for charging stations and plan the journey, integrating an efficient and fluid voice assistant. We delve into a first contact with the Renault 5, exploring its design and functionality in a real driving environment and highlighting how this model combines classic and modern elements to adapt to today's driver. 07:56 Sport Mode and Mountain Driving The Renault 5 is transformed when Sport mode is activated, highlighting its dynamic character. This mode increases its nervousness and agility, configuring a more intense driving experience. With a front-wheel drive engine, the car maintains good control in curves and provides a level of traction that allows you to enjoy a smooth ride on mountain roads. Switching to Sport mode activates acceleration and response settings that enhance the performance of the Renault 5, while the multisens system adjusts its sensitivity. We test the engine brake's holding capacity in B, which allows for precise control without relying excessively on the brake on steep descents. In this section, we also evaluate the energy consumption in this type of driving, which rises to around 15.8 kWh per 100 km, while maintaining remarkable efficiency in sporty driving. From optimal acceleration on winding roads to firm stride on tight corners, the Renault 5 proves to be a car designed not only for the city, but also capable of delivering thrills on complex routes. Here we test the 110 kW power to the limit and the precise adjustment of its controls, ideal for those looking for a versatile electric car. 11:52 Data and Design The Renault 5 combines a 52 kWh battery with an 11 kW three-phase charging system, which allows a full charge in around five hours, as well as fast DC charging up to 100 kW for getaways. Its charging location, on the front left, has pros and cons depending on the configuration of the charging points. This model also supports bi-directional charging (V2L and V2G), positioning itself as a potential home battery, with compatibility in markets such as Germany and the United Kingdom. We detail its weight and compact dimensions, with a length of 3.95 m and a wheelbase of 2.5 m, features that reinforce its design optimized for urban mobility. The exterior and interior styling reflects Renault’s heritage and its iconic French aesthetics, with details such as air vents evoking the front headlights, as well as a fabric and texture finish on the roof, showcasing a design that fuses functionality with unique aesthetic elements. With dual 10-inch touchscreens and well-placed air controls, the Renault 5 ensures easy access to key functions. 18:00 City Driving The Renault 5 is in its natural habitat in the city. Thanks to its compact size and maneuverability, it is an ideal car for moving around congested urban areas, with a real range of between 280 and 320 km on the highway at 120 km/h. Its user interface, supported by Android Automotive, makes it easy to navigate and find nearby charging stations, integrating voice commands and adaptive cruise control for more comfortable and smooth driving in the city. The car also offers adjustable driving modes that optimize the experience in urban environments.
