Renault 5 E-Tech Range Calculator - French Icon Reborn Electric
The Renault 5 E-Tech Electric resurrects a beloved French icon for the electric era with 400 km WLTP range from a 52 kWh battery. The retro-modern design perfectly captures the original's spirit while delivering contemporary performance with 150 kW (204 hp) and a playful 8-second sprint to 100 km/h. Built on Renault's AmpR Small platform, it's designed from the ground up as an affordable, stylish city car that doesn't compromise on technology or charm.
Renault 5 E-Tech Winter Performance - City Car in Cold
The Renault 5 handles winter well for a compact city car. Testing at -7°C shows range around 275-310 km (69-78% WLTP), which is practical for urban use. The standard heat pump on higher trims helps significantly. The compact cabin warms quickly, and the heated seats standard on most trims provide immediate comfort without heavy climate use.
Real-world winter testing shows 275-310 km at -7°C (69-78% WLTP) with heat pump. Without heat pump, expect 250-280 km. At -15°C, range drops to 230-270 km. For urban commuting of 30-50 km daily, this remains highly practical even in winter.
Winter Tips:
- ❄️ Pre-condition via My Renault app while plugged in - small battery appreciates this
- ❄️ Heated seats and steering wheel warm you faster than cabin heating
- ❄️ Use B mode for maximum regeneration in city stop-and-go traffic
- ❄️ 100 kW DC charging adds range quickly - 15 minutes for 150 km
- ❄️ Park in covered areas when possible to maintain battery temperature
- ❄️ The compact size means less cabin volume to heat - advantage in winter
Winter Features:
- Heat pump standard on Techno and higher trims
- Heated front seats and steering wheel available
- Battery thermal management maintains optimal operating temperature
- Compact cabin heats quickly - 3-4 minutes to comfort
- Google Built-In accounts for temperature in route planning
Renault 5 E-Tech Real-World Range vs WLTP
The Renault 5's 400 km WLTP rating translates to 340-370 km in typical mixed driving (85-92% WLTP), which is excellent. City driving can reach 390 km thanks to efficient regeneration. Highway at 120 km/h settles around 290-320 km. Honest expectation: 330-365 km in mild weather.
European launch testing achieved 355 km in mixed conditions (89% WLTP). The 13 kWh/100km WLTP consumption is class-leading efficiency. The lightweight construction and efficient powertrain deliver predictable, honest range figures that match Renault's claims.
The Renault 5's excellent efficiency comes from lightweight design (under 1,500 kg), good aerodynamics despite retro styling, and efficient 150 kW motor. The AmpR Small platform was optimized specifically for range and efficiency in urban/suburban use.
Getting 380+ km from Your Renault 5
- Use Eco mode for extended range - limits power but maximizes efficiency
- B mode for one-pedal driving in city traffic - 20%+ energy recovery
- Keep highway speed at 110-120 km/h for optimal efficiency
- Pre-condition cabin while charging to save battery for driving
- The lightweight design means tire pressure is critical - check regularly
- Use Google Maps for intelligent route planning with real-time conditions
