Renault 5 Business & Personal Car Leasing Offers

The Renault 5 sits in Renault’s electric car range as a compact five-door hatchback, positioned below larger EVs such as the Megane E-Tech and Scenic E-Tech. The Renault 5 nameplate returned to the UK in 2025 as a fully electric hatchback, almost three decades after it was discontinued. It’s aimed at drivers who want a small EV with useful range, five seats and distinctive design.

Renault has built the 5 on its AmpR Small platform, using front-wheel drive electric powertrains and 18-inch alloy wheels across the line-up. The same platform is also used by Alpine for the A290 electric hot hatch. Its small size, sharp styling and zero-emission appeal make it a solid fit for urban use, while the long-range versions provide the flexibility needed for regular commuting and company car travel.

- Body Type: Hatchback

- Fuel Type: Electric

- Electric Range: Up to 252 miles WLTP

- Seats: 5

- Boot Size: Up to 326 litres

Key Specifications

The Renault 5 is available in various trim levels, including Evolution, Techno Plus, Iconic Five Plus and Roland Garros Plus.

- Evolution: The entry point to the Renault 5 lease range, using a 40kWh Urban Range battery with a 90kW electric motor that delivers power equal to 120bhp. It features a 10.1-inch openR link central touchscreen, wireless smartphone integration, 18-inch black diamond-cut alloy wheels and mixed grey and black cloth with tricolour stitching.

- Techno Plus: Moves to the 52kWh Comfort Range battery and a 110kW electric motor, equal to 150bhp. It brings the longest range in the line-up, along with features such as multi-sense driving modes, ambient lighting with 48 colours, recycled denim-style upholstery and the bonnet-mounted “5” charging indicator.

- Iconic Five Plus: Builds on Techno Plus with extra comfort and audio equipment. It adds 18-inch Chrono black diamond-cut alloy wheels, a nine-speaker Harman Kardon sound system, heated front seats and a heated synthetic leather steering wheel.

- Roland Garros Plus: Sits at the top of the range, adding styling details inspired by the French tennis tournament. It includes 18-inch Electro black diamond-cut alloy wheels, Harman Kardon audio, heated front seats, a heated steering wheel and Roland Garros-specific interior and exterior detailing.

Engine & Performance

The Renault 5 E-Tech Electric uses a single-speed automatic transmission and front-wheel drive across the line-up. Renault splits the powertrains into Urban Range and Comfort Range versions. Evolution uses the 40kWh Urban Range setup, while Techno+, Iconic Five+ and Roland Garros+ use the 52kWh Comfort Range setup for more power, faster charging and a longer WLTP range.

The 40kWh Urban Range version produces 120bhp and 225Nm of torque, and reaches 0-60mph in around 8.8 seconds. It supports 11kW AC charging and up to 80kW DC rapid charging.

The 52kWh Comfort Range version increases output to 150bhp and offers up to 252 miles of WLTP range in selected versions. It supports 11kW AC charging and up to 100kW DC rapid charging. A rapid charge to 80% takes around 30 minutes where conditions allow.

The compact size, 10.3m turning circle and lower centre of gravity help the Renault 5 feel well suited to town driving and tighter parking spaces.

Exterior Features

The Renault 5 keeps several recognisable cues from the original 1970s model. Its short overhangs, sloping rear window, rounded corners and pronounced wheel arches give it a clear visual link to earlier Renault 5 models, while the full LED lighting and flush details bring it in line with Renault’s latest EV direction.

Evolution versions feature 18-inch black diamond-cut alloy wheels, while Iconic Five Plus and Roland Garros Plus add their own 18-inch alloy designs. Techno Plus and above also include the bonnet-mounted “5” charging indicator, which shows charging status in increments and turns the bonnet vent detail into a useful EV feature.

UK-available optional extras can include selected metallic and two-tone paint finishes, mud guards, exterior decal options, a domestic charging cable and a removable tow bar. Availability can vary by trim and current manufacturer ordering options.

Interior Features

Inside, the Renault 5 uses a digital dashboard layout with a 10.1-inch openR link central touchscreen as standard. Evolution models pair this with a 7-inch digital driver display, while higher versions can offer the openR double-screen layout with larger driver information displays, depending on trim and specification.

The cabin uses trim-specific materials and colour details. Evolution has mixed grey and black cloth with tricolour stitching, Techno Plus introduces recycled denim-style upholstery, and Iconic Five Plus adds extra comfort through heated front seats. Roland Garros Plus brings its own seat trim, door sill detailing and an e-pop gear selector inspired by a tennis racket handle.

Practical details include five doors, five seats, ISOFIX mounting points on the rear outer seats, front USB-C connectors, automatic climate control and up to 326 litres of boot space on selected trims. Useful optional extras for the interior can include storage packs, protection packs, e-pop shifter designs and dash cam packs, depending on version and current Renault options.

Safety Features

The Renault 5 received a four-star Euro NCAP rating in 2024. Euro NCAP recorded 80% for adult occupant protection, 80% for child occupant protection, 76% for vulnerable road users and 68% for safety assist.

Standard safety and driver assistance equipment includes active emergency braking for urban driving, pedestrians and cyclists, emergency lane keeping assist, intelligent speed assistance with traffic sign recognition, driver attention alert, front safe stopping distance warning, multiple airbags, curtain airbags, rear parking sensors and eCall automatic emergency assistance.

Higher versions and selected configurations can add more driver assistance features. These systems support the driver, but they do not replace the need for attention and control behind the wheel.

Technology Overview

- 10.1-inch openR link central touchscreen

- Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto

- Google built-in available from Techno+ versions, including Google Maps, Google Assistant and compatible in-car apps

- Reno virtual assistant available on selected versions

- Connected services and over-the-air updates through Renault’s FOTA technology

- My Renault app compatibility for remote vehicle functions and charging information

- Bi-directional charging on Comfort Range versions, allowing power-to-object functionality when the correct adaptor is used

The Renault 5 places most key infotainment, charging and vehicle settings within the openR link system. Higher trims add a more connected setup through Google built-in and reno, while Comfort Range versions add extra EV functionality through bi-directional charging.
