Compare the Renault 5 E-Tech vs Renault 4 E-Tech
AI generated from our expert reviews
Choosing between these two electric siblings largely comes down to whether you prioritise driving fun or everyday versatility. The Renault 5 E-Tech is eager and feels like a hot hatch through corners, backed up by well-judged brakes that make smooth stops second nature. By contrast, the Renault 4 E-Tech never feels particularly fun on twisty roads and its brakes prove trickier to modulate, but it rewards you with better motorway refinement where wind and road noise never become a problem, unlike the noisier 5. The longer Renault 4 also brings practical benefits, offering a larger boot, more room with the seats folded down, and greater towing capacity. Neither model treats rear passengers especially generously, however, with adults feeling cramped on long journeys in the back of both cars.
