<< Prev Page 2 of 2  Designed for the city and beyond, Renault 5 E-Tech electric offers a choice of motors and batteries, reflecting the intended use of the car. With a power output of up to 110 kW / 150hp, a range of up to 400km / 248miles WLTP and DC charging up to 100 kW, it has all the qualities of a larger car, whilst maintaining its lightness and agility. A rarity in the electric city car segment, it can even tow a trailer, with a towing capacity of 500kg.Renault 5 E-Tech electric will be available with two lithium-ion batteries. The biggest, which will be the only one available at market launch, has a capacity of 52 kWh and a range of up to 400km/ 248 miles WLTP. The second has a capacity of 40 kWh for a range of up to 300km / 186 miles WLTP. Both use NMC (Nickel Manganese Cobalt) technology, for the best energy density on the market today. These battery modules are designed to improve energy density without increasing size. The 52 kWh battery includes four large modules in its casing, compared with the 12 smaller modules found on Megane E-Tech electric and Zoe. This simplified architecture brings weight savings of 20kg compared with Zoe. A total of 46 cells are assembled in each of the four modules, each weighing around 55kg. The 40 kWh battery has just three large modules in the same casing. Each of these three modules includes 31 cells of increased thickness, weighing in at around 240kg. For improved performance in all conditions, the battery is equipped with a liquid cooling system to regulate its temperature. For greater safety, the cooling fluid does not circulate inside the casing but through the extruded floor. Finally, when charging the vehicle, charging time can be optimised by pre-conditioning the battery and planning the journey using Google Maps. The electric motor of Renault 5 E-Tech electric uses Renault's preferred technology: wound rotor synchronous. As it has no permanent magnets, it uses no rare earths, thereby reducing its environmental impact. The magnets are replaced by copper coils, with the wires being ordered and routed in such a way as to withstand the centrifugal force of the rotor. Based directly on the motor of Megane E-Tech electric and Scenic E-Tech electric, Renault 5 E-Tech electric also benefits from the experience acquired with other electric motors, such as on Zoe, in terms of durability. It also gains several new features, including new-generation power electronics (inverter) and reworked reduction gear. The difference can be seen in size and weight. The motor is 15kg lighter with a rotor that has been made 3cm shorter to fit under the bonnet of Renault 5 E-Tech electric. The AC/DC converter, transforming the 400V from the battery to 12V, and the accessory box managing power distribution, have been integrated into the charger in order to save space. The new powertrain weighs just 105kg, including the charger. The motor is available with two power ratings: 110 kW (150hp / 245Nm) or 90 kW (120hp / 225Nm). The 110 kW motor is paired with the 52 kWh battery, while the 90 kW motor is paired with the 40 kWh battery. The first motor will be available at launch, with the other following at a later date. For the 110 kW version, Renault 5 E-Tech electric accelerates from 0 to 62 mph in under 8 seconds and from 50 to 75 mph in under 7 seconds. Renault 5 E-Tech electric will be the first in a long series of cars to be fitted with the new 11 kW AC bidirectional charger featuring V2L (vehicle-to-load) for connecting a device to the vehicle battery and V2G (vehicle-to-grid) for feeding electricity back into the grid and saving on home charging. This 11 kW AC bidirectional charger will be operational on both the 110 kW and 90 kW versions. The 11 kW charger fitted on all versions makes Renault 5 E-Tech electric even more versatile, ready to take to the road in any city. With an 11 kW AC charging point, the 52kWh battery will take 4hrs 30 minutes to charge from 10% to 100%. The 40kWh battery will take an hour less. For DC fast charging, the 110kW powertrain has a 100 kW DC socket to charge the 52 kWh battery. The 90 kW powertrain is equipped with an 80 kW DC socket to charge the 40 kWh battery. In both cases, it will take just 30 minutes to charge the battery from 15% to 80%. On board Renault 5 E-Tech electric, the technology is designed to be useful, convenient, and to contribute to a unique customer experience. From the innovative charging experience to the range of connected services, all the innovations available reflect the DNA of Renault's “voitures à vivre”. Further, the Reno avatar gives them a physical representation to focus on for the first time while giving voice commands, creating an even closer bond between the user and their car. With the V2G (vehicle-to-grid) technology available on new Renault 5 E-Tech electric with the 11 kW AC bidirectional charger, users can save on the cost of home front wh, while benefiting from low-carbon electricity that can be fed back into the power grid in order to meet demand. Naturally, Renault 5 E-Tech electric can also be charged from a conventional charging point, at home or on the street. With the V2L (vehicle-to-load) technology built into Renault 5 E-Tech electric's bidirectional charger, users can connect a 220V appliance, such as a hoover, kettle or electric barbecue to the car's battery, via an optional adapter. The power output of this function is 3,700 watts. The award winning OpenR Link multimedia system with Google built-in has proved hugely popular since its launch on Megane E-Tech electric. Today, it is taking centre stage on the screens of Renault 5 E-Tech electric, providing access to Google Maps, Google Assistant and a host of apps (50 or more depending on the country and version) via the Google Play catalogue. With a chip as powerful as that of a premium smartphone, the OpenR Link system runs more smoothly than other systems. Simple and intuitive, it can be used either by touch or by voice control with the built-in voice assistant. It is compatible with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, wired and wireless too. In this version, developed for Renault 5 E-Tech electric, the range of connected services provided by OpenR Link has been expanded to include V2G (vehicle-to-grid), V2L (vehicle-to-load) and Plug & Charge functions (depending on compatibility of charging points compatibility). The main advantage of OpenR Link with Google built-in is the electric vehicle capabilities in Google Maps. It provides an estimated battery level upon arrival at the destination, suggests charging stops along the way, and calculates how long charging might take. Drivers can also choose charging points based on the power ratings and payment method. When a driver selects a charging station, Google Maps will automatically factor in battery preconditioning for optimised charging and route planning. Through Google Play, Renault 5 E-Tech electric includes a range of over 50 apps, some of which are specifically for brand vehicles as part of targeted partnerships. You can listen to music, learn about the history of the surrounding area or local tourist attractions, catch up on sport and news, have fun or watch a film when the vehicle is at a standstill or charging. Spotify, Amazon Music, Waze, SongPop for Renault, Vivaldi, Deezer and a wide range of other exclusive content enhance the onboard experience. Renault 5 E-Tech electric is the first vehicle to feature Reno, a new virtual travelling companion. An avatar with a real personality, Reno supports and interacts with Renault customers throughout their user experience, both inside and outside the car. The feeling of empathy created will strengthen the emotional bond between the user and their Renault 5 E-Tech electric. An example of technology being used to provide real benefit, Reno supports users in learning about the car and its functions. It is an EV specialist, able to answer all sorts of questions and take practical action. For example, you could ask: “Hey Reno, schedule a charge for 8am tomorrow” or “Hey Reno, how can I increase the range of my car?”. Looking beyond electric functions, the Reno avatar can answer the 200 questions most frequently asked by customers and identified by Renault After-Sales: e.g.: “Hey Reno, how do I connect my phone to the car?” or “Hey Reno, how do I change a tyre?”. Reno can also anticipate users’ needs with suggestions to adjust certain vehicle settings to the context: e.g. closing the windows for better air recirculation and to control the air purifier, setting the air conditioning in recirculation mode if it detects an increase in pollution, or switching from Sport to Eco mode in a traffic jam. Last, with the integration of the artificial intelligence app Chat GPT, Reno can also answer many other questions in a smooth, conversational way. Outside the car, Reno will also be available on the My Renault smartphone app. A series of video tutorials will help users learn more about all the possibilities of the car. Continuing to nurture the bond between customer and brand, Reno will act as an ambassador for Renault 5 E-Tech electric in a fun way (quizzes, etc.). Renault 5 E-Tech electric features a range of driver assistance systems (ADAS), on a par with the best in the next segment up, in terms of driving, safety and parking. Alongside the driver attention monitoring system, it has four safety ADAS features seen on Scenic E-Tech electric, but not present in the B segment before now, and which go beyond the requirements of the new GSR II (General Safety Regulation II): automatic emergency braking in reverse, front sensors with emergency lane keeping, rear sensors with emergency lane keeping and rear occupant safe passenger exit. A new button – My Safety Shield – located to the left of the steering wheel lets the driver activate or deactivate their preferred settings for no fewer than five ADAS features at the same time, at the touch of a button. The customised settings made on the multimedia screen include whether to activate the function, to what level, to allow sound alerts, and so on. On the road, Active Driver Assist lets the driver take a more relaxed approach to busy weekend traffic. It is a Level 2 ADAS, combining intelligent adaptive cruise control with Stop & Go and lane centering assist. For this last function, the driver can voluntarily shift towards the side of the road when traffic is moving at a speed of under 31 mph, in order to leave space for motorbikes and scooters or to create a safety corridor for emergency vehicles. To improve the safety of the vehicle and its occupants after an initial impact, the post-accident automatic braking system automatically locks the vehicle's brakes in the event of a collision. This is to lessen the consequences of any secondary collisions and potential further impact. Finally, Renault 5 E-Tech electric has hands-free parking, rounding off a range of features designed to make life easier in all circumstances. To provide support for drivers and reduce the risk of accidents, Renault 5 E-Tech electric is equipped with a safety tool called “Safety Coach”. This tool objectively assesses the driver’s behaviour and provides personalised advice for driving and use of the ADAS, to suggest possible improvements. Alongside the Evolution and Techno trim levels, the Renault 5 E-Tech electric range will include a high-end version which works on the same principle as haute couture ‘collections’. This trim will change every year. For the launch, it will be Iconic Five. The vehicle will feature a range of unique personalised accessories, including 3D-printed storage spaces, taking customisation to new levels. To optimise costs without compromising on appeal, the Renault 5 E-Tech electric range includes a number of iconic, timeless features. All versions have 18-inch wheels as standard, along with a 10-inch central screen, hands-free access and start, Android Auto and Apple CarPlay wireless smartphone compatibility, an electric handbrake and full LED headlamps with automatic high-beam switch. Renault 5 E-Tech electric will be available in two trim levels at launch, each with a 52 kWh battery: Techno and Iconic Five, the first of the 'Collection' high-spec trim level. The Techno trim level standard equipment includes alloy wheels, a 10-inch instrument panel, MULTI-SENSE settings, reversing camera, OpenR Link multimedia system with Google built-in, wireless smartphone charging a charge indicator light on the bonnet and Active Driver Assist. The Iconic Five trim level adds heated seats and steering wheel, hands-free parking, front, rear and side obstacle sensors, and a host of design features. To satisfy customers looking for a high-spec version without requiring maximum range, a 40 kWh battery will be available at a later date. Underlining the open-ended strategy of the range, a Roland-Garros ‘Collection’ version is also scheduled. With its highly emotive design, Renault 5 E-Tech electric lends itself to personalisation through a range of accessories that reinforce its cheery, mischievous character. Of the full range of 104 accessories, around 33 are 'iconic' accessories that will showcase or enhance the car's design. In the cabin, 3D printing technology paves the way for a wide range of decorative clip-on features or additional storage compartments with customised lids. For example, the following components are 3D printed at the Flins plant:
The ElectriCity complex bringing together the three manufacturing plants of Douai, Maubeuge and Ruitz in northern France, will be at the centre of the industrial system producing Renault 5 E-Tech electric. The vehicle will be assembled in Douai and the battery pack in Ruitz (prior to full manufacture of the batteries at the Douai gigafactory in partnership with AESC-Envision from summer 2025). The motor will be produced at the Cléon plant in Normandy, reflecting the decision to keep production in France. This 4.0 production system is expected to cut the time needed to build Renault 5 E-Tech electric to nine hours. To do this, it will rely on the Industrial Metaverse, which has been designed to enable real-time optimisation of production through the millions of data fed back from the systems, all of which are now interconnected. Renault Group's Industrial Metaverse paves the way for smarter, faster and better production, while reducing the costs and carbon footprint of industrial processes. Associated with artificial intelligence, it enables a predictive approach to energy consumption, reducing usage at the Group's industrial sites by 20%. The aim is to achieve carbon neutrality by 2025 for both the ElectriCity complex and the Cléon site. The Renault 5 E-Tech electric will achieve an overall level of recyclability of 85%, with 22% of materials taken from the circular economy, including 41kg of recycled polymers. The seat fabrics will be made from fully recycled material on the Techno and Iconic Five trim levels. This last one will also include bio-sourced materials for its steering wheel and interior insulation. << Prev Page 2 of 2 |
