Renault 5 E-Tech

The Renault 5 E-Tech is a modern electric reimagining of the classic Renault 5 supermini, a legendary vehicle originally produced between 1972 and 1996. The current electric model was officially unveiled in 2024 as a flagship for the brand's 'Renaulution' strategy. Renault, founded in 1899 by the Renault brothers, is one of the pillars of the French automotive industry.

Manufacturing of the R5 E-Tech is centered in Northern France at the 'Renault ElectriCity' hub, specifically at the Douai plant. This facility forms part of the Ampere division, Renault's dedicated electric vehicle unit. The brand remains under the ultimate ownership of the Renault Group (Groupe Renault), a multinational corporation headquartered in Boulogne-Billancourt, France. The group operates within the Renault-Nissan-Mitsubishi Alliance, though it maintains its distinct corporate identity and French heritage.
