5 E-Tech 52kWh 150hp (MY24-26)

The Renault 5 E-Tech 52kWh 150hp (MY24-26) is a 5-seat hatchback with front-wheel drive, sold new from 2024 to 2026, when it cost £23,945 in the UK, and now only available second-hand. It accelerates from 0 to 62 mph in 8.0 seconds, slower than 72% of the electric cars on sale in the UK. Its estimated real-world range is 208 miles (335 km) in a mix of town, country and motorway driving. That is longer than 26% of the 471 electric cars on sale in the UK, and 23rd of 67 hatchbacks.

It uses around 4.0 mi/kWh (155 Wh/km), more efficient than the typical EV on sale (3.5 mi/kWh). The usable battery holds 52 kWh and on a rapid charger it averages 75 kW between 10% and 80%. With one 15-minute charging stop, it can cover an estimated 219 miles (352 km) at motorway speeds.

It has a heat pump, which helps preserve range in cold weather, and it supports vehicle-to-load (V2L), so it can power appliances from its battery. The battery uses NCM chemistry, which stores more energy for its weight than LFP.

Second-hand, a 2024 example is estimated at £11,400–£12,800 and a 2026 one at £13,600–£15,600, based on typical EV depreciation. After typical battery wear, a 2024 car should still manage about 200 miles of real-world range. These are estimates, not valuations: check real prices before you buy.
