2027 Renault 5 E-Tech evolution

Cost

Price On the road, with the £1,500 Band 2 Electric Car Grant already taken off, and unchanged for MY27. Renault's MY27 release says the range still takes the full £3,750; on this car that would mean a £2,250 rise in the list price behind an unchanged £21,495, which is not what the release says has happened, so the Band 2 figure stands until the configurator says otherwise.

£21,495

Battery

Battery Renault quotes 40 kWh usable, not a gross figure.

40 kWh

Battery chemistry Renault says only lithium-ion. NMC packs are usually happier kept below 100% for daily charging.
