Renault is moving very slowly with the development of its R5. And for good reason, the tricolor company should launch its electric city car within the next year, when it should replace the Zoé, which has been on sale for many years. But that’s not all, because the diamond brand plans to significantly expand its catalog electric cars over the next few years. In fact, according to the will of the European Union, it will have to sell models of this type only from 2035. And this deadline is fast approaching…

Higher price

At this point, we still know very little about the brand’s upcoming electrics, particularly the R5. But the information is starting to come in slowly, and its disclosure should take place in the coming months. And now we’re starting to know a little more about its price. By the way, the latter was supposed to return approximately 25 00 euros about. But finally everything changed a little. Anyway, that’s what the brand’s general manager, Fabrice Cambolive, reveals to the German magazine. And the latter is not very optimistic.

Closer to 30,000 euros

Indeed, in an interview, the manager explains that everything is being done now so that the electric city car is offered “for less than 30,000 euros”. This means that nothing has been won yet. in memory of Renault 5 was supposed to cost 20,000 euros when it was discovered just under two years ago. The price then rose to €25,000 before possibly hitting the €30,000 mark at launch. So the city car will cost almost the same as the Zoe, even if it disappears very soon.
