The French car manufacturer Renault may have hit the top ten with its new Renault 5 electric hatchback – the manufacturer reports that about 50 thousand people have shown interest in placing an order, and this happened in a short time, as the car only made its official debut at the Geneva Motor Show last week.
The car will start arriving to customers in the fall, around September or October, and the car order will be opened in May. The starting price in Europe is from 25 thousand euros. This is Renault’s first compact class electric car since the Renault Zoe entered the market, and the manufacturer has high expectations for this model. It is predicted that part of the customers could be companies that create their own fleets – they could make up to 40% of Renault 5 orders.
Renault management wants Zoe buyers to remain loyal to the brand and switch directly to Renault 5. Also, the French do not consider this car to compete with another French product, Renault Clio, which is one of the most popular and successful Renault models. Both cars are similar in size, but Renault thinks they will appeal to different customer groups. More technical information about the new model can be read here
