Renault 5 Battery
Posted: Wed Jun 30, 2021 2:12 pm
Early rumours suggested that the 5 would use the CMF-B platform currently underpinning the Renault Zoe. The Zoe makes use of a 50kWh battery pack enabling a maximum range of 245 miles, while recharging speed is capped at 50kW, and buyers have a choice of two electric motor options - one car with a 132bhp motor and one with 108bhp. However, we now know that the Renault 5 is likely to use the new CMF-BEV platform instead.
The current-generation Zoe is due to go out of production in 2024, when manufacturing at the firm's Flins factory north west of Paris will cease. As such, it’s likely that the 5 will be lined up as the Zoe’s replacement.
