The behavior of the car in the test was quite expected due to the platform CMF-BEV which is already in use by the company. As indicated ArenaEVthis is the base used in the models ZOE EV and in the electric Megane E-Tech to simplify design, streamline development and reduce cost.

One of the features of this company’s platform is that it is built without the use of rare earth metals, which greatly reduces the environmental impact of the model. The novelty of the new model will be the design of its battery, which will consist of 4 large modules instead of the 12 modules used in the ZOE model, which lighten the car by 15 kg..

The French automaker hopes that Renault 5 have real sales success and intends to bring it to market in 2024 as one of the best electric car options for those who don’t want to pay a lot.
