The Renault 5 E-Tech electric is available to order for R-Pass customers, giving them priority access to buy one of the year’s most hotly-anticipated new cars.

The multi-award-winning pure-electric supermini is available from £22,995. With five versions to choose from across three trim levels – evolution, techno, and iconic five – and either a 40kWh urban range battery with 120hp or a 52kWh comfort range battery with 150hp and a range of up to 253 miles, the Renault 5 E-Tech electric has already won a string of awards.

Fun to drive and fun to be around, with its heart-winning design and innovative touches such as the novel bonnet-mounted charging indicator and Reno, the helpful avatar, the Renault 5 E-Tech electric is filled with the latest technology.

With Google services built-in and EV-optimised navigation, it can recharge to 80 per cent in just 30 minutes. The My Renault app allows drivers to monitor charging, pre-set the cabin to their desired temperature or search for charging stations remotely. All models come with a heat-pump as standard, as well as vehicle-to-load (V2L) bi-directional charging functionality.

Despite its city-friendly proportions, the five-door Renault 5 E-Tech electric offers comfortable seating for five as well as a practical 326-litre boot, complete with dedicated storage for charging cables.

A range of vibrant body colours is available, two of which – Pop Yellow! and Pop Green! – are reminiscent of iconic shades that were present in the 1970s catalogue, with an intense sparkle-effect . All models in the range ride on 18-inch diamond-cut alloy wheels as standard.

Until the end of March, it can be purchased via a range of attractive finance offers, including 48-month, 5.5 per cent APR representative PCP deals that start at £249 per month with a £555 deposit contribution.

Alternatively, there is a 0 per cent APR representative PCP offer across the range, meaning that for £182 per month over a 24-month period with a minimum 30 per cent deposit, customers can drive away in a Renault 5 E-Tech electric evolution 120hp urban range.

There is the option of 5.5 per cent APR representative, 48-month PCP offers with matching deposit and monthly payments. These see the Renault 5 E-Tech electric evolution 120hp urban range available with monthly payments of £324 and a deposit of £324 (including a finance deposit contribution of £555), or £409 per month with a deposit of £409 (including a finance deposit contribution of £955) for the fully-loaded iconic 150hp comfort range with ‘ 5’ bonnet charging indicator, LED headlights, rear view camera and heated front seats and steering wheel.

Additionally, the chance to buy an R Pass for £150 has been extended until January 28, meaning that all holders who buy a Renault 5 on finance before March 31 are eligible to take advantage of all the launch offers. From January 29^,  Renault 5 will go on general sale.
