Renault 5 gets more range and tech – without a price rise

The updated Renault 5 gets aerodynamic tweaks that improve range, and a new Flame Red colour - (Renault)

The big-selling Renault 5 E-Tech Electric is getting more miles between charges and a fresh batch of technology for 2027, but the price tag is staying put. Order books are now open for the updated car, with changes covering both battery options, the way you choose your driving mode and even how your phone keeps its cool.

Prices still start at £21,495 on the road, and Renault says the 5 continues to qualify for the full £3,750 Electric Car Grant. The four-model line-up stays in place, with Evolution followed by Techno+, Iconic Five+ and Roland Garros+, although some of the new colour choices will follow later in the year.
