The Renault 5 E-Tech is definitely the most anticipated car of 2024, and for good reason. As well as bringing back a lot of memories for the French with this delicately neo-retro design, the R5 will also usher in a new era for Renault with more ‘affordable’ electrics.
The price, which was announced at less than €25,000 before bonuses, will end up around €30,000, enough to keep Citroën in business with its ë-C3 starting at €23,300 before bonuses. However, Renault 5 E-Tech will stand out with new interesting features, particularly in terms of on-board technologies.
For example, the brand will present Renault for the first time, a virtual assistant based on artificial intelligence. This assistant promises to support customers by providing interactive advice on the car’s functions and will also act as a voice command to control the air conditioning or infotainment system.
The French star of the Swiss salon?
But to discover it, you’ll have to be a little patient because, according to L’Informé magazine,The car will be presented at the next Geneva Motor Show, which will be held from February 26 to March 3..
As we know, it will hit the market in the fall of 2024, and production will begin at the historic Douai factory in northern France.
Renault will offer a complete experience
In general, Renault intends to offer a complete package for its car, including the introduction of “Mobilize Powerbox” home charging stations. Here we are talking about a terminal that offers power from 7 to 22 kW, of course in alternating current.
This terminal will have bidirectional charging capability, which will not only charge the car, but also redistribute the stored energy in the home network.
However, according to L’Informed, this terminal will sell for around 600 euros and will also be assembled in France, at the Lacroix plant located in Beaupreau-en-Moges.
