Renault 5: Prices for electric small car decrease slightly Renault is lowering the prices for the electric small car 5 by 1710 Euros and simultaneously equipping it with more standard features. It is getting crowded in the electric small car segment. Demand may be rising, but the fight for customers is evidently getting tougher. Renault is reacting to this development and is lowering the prices for the small car 5 across the board by 1710 euros without removing anything from the equipment. Rather, Renault is adding things as standard in some versions that previously cost extra. This should improve its position in the market. Previously, the list price for the base model was 28,000 euros; now it is 26,290 euros, putting it on par with the Cupra Raval. The battery has an energy content of 40 kWh, which is sufficient for 317 km in the WLTP, and the e-motor has an output of 90 kW. The larger battery with 52 kWh is supposed to enable 417 km in the cycle, with the e-motor having an output of 110 kW in this model.

The base model charges at a maximum of 80 kW and needs 31 minutes to go from 15 to 80 percent. In this time, around 26 kWh are recharged at an average of about 50 kW. This works a bit faster in the model with the 52 kWh battery, which can be charged at a maximum of 100 kW. Here, the aforementioned window is said to be closed in 30 minutes. This means almost 34 kWh are recharged on average at around 68 kW. In the test, a Cupra Raval with a similarly sized battery was faster. Extended Equipment The
