It has only been a few days since Renault released a bunch of teaser images of its upcoming electric Renault 5 reincarnation and those made the world stand up and pay attention. And now, courtesy of those never sleeping Internet sleuths, we have finally a complete set of images to oogle over. There’s nowhere to hide little R5 - we can see you, and boy - we are liking what we are seeing!

Renault has taken the classic Renault 5 and given it a modern twist that's as cheeky as it is ingenious. First things first, those unmistakable headlights, shaped like the eyes of an automotive enthusiast who just discovered they can sell excess electricity back to the grid. It's a nod to the original R5, but with a pupil-shaped charge indicator, the new car is not just cute; it's clever too.

But that's not where the fun ends. The Renault 5 E-Tech Electric's wheel arches give it a muscular stance, like a compact boxer ready for a showdown. And those vertical rear lights? They're not just there to look cool; they're working hard to reduce air turbulence and maximize efficiency. In this electric era, it's all about doing more with less.

Renault isn't just resurrecting a car; they're launching a movement. The "R5VOLUTION IS BACK" campaign is set to make a splash just before the official reveal. It's a celebration of energy transition, French production, and energy efficiency. They've even given the iconic "5" logo a fresh makeover in vibrant colors – yellow, blue, and green. It's like the R5 went to a neon party and came back looking cooler than ever.

For those who can't wait to get their hands on the Renault 5 E-Tech Electric, there's the R5 R Pass program. For a mere €150, customers in select European countries get the VIP treatment – early access to orders and priority on the production line. It's like having a golden ticket to the electric car factory, and who wouldn't want that?

Measuring just 3.92 meters in length, the Renault 5 E-Tech Electric is the quintessential city car. It's small enough to squeeze into tight parking spots but packs a punch with a 52 kWh battery that offers up to 400 km (248 miles) of range. And if that's not enough, a 40 kWh battery option will be available down the road. So whether you're zipping around the city or embarking on a cross-country adventure, this Renault has you covered. The revived and re-electrified Renault 5 E-Tech Electric promises between 120 hp and 150 hp. Reports vary, but one thing's for sure – it's going to be a whole lot of electric fun.

Step inside the Renault 5 E-Tech Electric, and you'll meet "reno," Renault's official digital avatar. It's like having a friendly co-pilot who's always ready to assist. And speaking of assistance, this electric wonder comes equipped with a bidirectional onboard charger, making it the first production Renaut to feature V2G (vehicle-to-grid) technology.

With V2G, you can sell excess electricity back to the grid, helping you save on charging costs and reducing your electricity bills. It's like turning your car into a mini power plant, and who doesn't want to be a part-time energy mogul?

Now, let's talk money. The entry-level price for the Renault 5 E-Tech Electric is expected to be around €25,000. That's competitive with B-segment hybrids, making it an accessible option for those looking to make the switch to electric. So, not only is it cute, clever, and efficient, but it's also budget-friendly. It's like finding a unicorn that gives you financial advice!

The Renault 5 E-Tech Electric is a delightful fusion of nostalgia and innovation. With its charming design, clever features, and budget-friendly pricing, it's set to make a splash in the electric car market. So, if you're ready for a jolt of excitement in your automotive life, keep an eye out for the Renault 5 E-Tech Electric – the R5volution is back, and it's electrifying!

Yours truly,

Captain Electro
