- Renault 5 E-Tech 100% electric voted ‘One To Watch’ at the 2024 Business Car Awards
- Judges praised the fully-electric hatchback’s iconic design and cutting-edge powertrain
- Due for UK launch in early 2025, customers can purchase an R-Pass that allows them to order their Renault 5 E-Tech 100% electric 10 days before the general public
The Renault 5 E-Tech 100% electric has added another accolade to its growing trophy cabinet, after it was crowned the winner in the ‘One To Watch’ category at the 2024 Business Car Awards.
The fully-electric hatchback, which is due to launch in the UK in early 2025, drew praise for its iconic design and cutting-edge powertrain. As a result, the Renault 5 E-Tech 100% electric offers a compelling blend of driver engagement, practicality, and a sense of fun, wrapped up in a package that will bring an extra sparkle to the world of small electric vehicles.
On awarding this latest honour, Business Car Magazine Editor Martyn Collins said: “In simple terms, the Renault 5 is a B-segment replacement for the Zoe. However, it’s much more than that – it’s the latest in a series of iconic Renault models reworked for the future. On sale next year, it’s sure to challenge the Mini Cooper Electric, with a choice of 40kWh and 52kWh battery packs, and prices expected to start under £25,000.”
Justin Costello, Renault Group’s Head of Fleet, said: “Even before going on sale, the Renault 5 E-Tech 100% electric is rapidly accumulating an enviable array of awards. This latest title shows that the appeal is universal, across both retail and fleet customers, and the judges have recognised that many of the qualities that make the Renault 5 E-Tech 100% electric such a hotly-anticipated new model are helping it find favour in a wider marketplace.”
The Renault 5 E-Tech 100% electric, faithful to the 2021 concept car, references the style of the original model yet is also the epitome of modernity with its all-electric AmpR small car platform, agile handling and innovative technology. With a driving range of up to 248 miles on a single charge (pending WLTP certification), the Renault 5 E-Tech 100% electric is expected to arrive in the UK in Q1 2025. Customers eager to be among the first behind the wheel can purchase an R-Pass, for £150, which allows them to place their order 10 days before the general public.
