Car changing is a big deal
This electric hatchback has a funky design and is fun to drive – and you can currently save over £4,300 when you buy one brand-new through Carwow.
This small electric car with a fantastic retro design is now eligible for the full £3,750 electric car grant. But through Carwow, you can get the Renault 5 E-Tech for over £4,300 less than its standard price. Will this deal entice you?
Remember, you can buy a brand new car right here on Carwow. We’re here to help you through every step of your car-changing journey.
Save over £4,300 on an Renault 5 E-Tech*
The Renault 5 E-Tech usually starts at £22,995, but you can get one through Carwow from £21,051. The biggest saving is on the Roland Garros + version, which has £4,349 off at the time of writing. I think this is a good deal because it’s the top-spec version of this car and gives you around 252 miles of range, a Harman Kardon sound system, and a satin chrome finish on the dashboard.
Why consider the Renault 5 E-Tech?
I’d recommend the Renault 5 E-Tech because it’s a perfect mix of practicality and retro charm. Compact and agile, it’s ideal for city driving, yet still comfortable on longer trips. With up to 252 miles of range, sharp handling, and a balanced suspension, it’s genuinely fun to drive.
It’s not a family SUV, but for one or two people, it’s fantastic. The interior is full of playful nods to the original 1980s model – chunky seats, a stacked dashboard, and an illuminated “5” logo – while still feeling modern with Android Auto. What’s more is that this car has physical climate controls.
Compared to other small EVs, the Renault 5 stands out for style, usability, and sheer personality. The boot is generous at 326 litres, and alternatives such as the Corsa Electric or Mini Cooper SE just don’t match its charm. For a city-friendly EV that’s fun and stylish, it’s hard to beat.
Alternatives to the Renault 5 E-Tech
Prefer something else? Here are other electric hatchbacks to consider:
- Vauxhall Corsa Electric: Quiet and comfortable but it has tiny rear seats.
- Citroen e-C3: One of the cheapest EVs you can buy but it has a sub-200 mile range.
- Hyundai Inster: Clever back seats but its brakes are a big grabby.
