The Renault 5 E-Tech, introduced in 2024, revives the Renault 5 nameplate as a fully electric supermini after a gap of nearly three decades since the original line ended in 1996. Rather than a direct continuation, it is a ground-up modern reinterpretation that uses the Renault-Nissan-Mitsubishi Alliance's dedicated AmpR Small electric platform. The design draws deliberate visual references to the classic R5 while packaging contemporary EV hardware, placing it in the competitive segment of small urban and sub-urban electric hatchbacks. Its arrival marks Renault's broader strategic push to electrify its core European volume models under the E-Tech powertrain family.
