The revived Renault 5 electric hatchback has made an appearance at this year’s Munich motor show in prototype form, together with its original siblings from the 70s and 80s, with the French brand confirming it will give increase to a production automobile in 2024.

Speaking to car express at the Munich motor Show, Renault’s executive vice president for engineering, Gilles Le Borgne, told us that “This will be a genuine budget-friendly car. We need to be in the variety between €20,000-€25,000 (around £17,200-£21,500), but still be profitable. That’s the challenge.”
It’s not remove if this fairly low cost cost target includes any government incentives, but to put that into perspective, this starting figure is about the exact same kind of money you’d spend on a comparably sized, petrol-powered Ford Fiesta or Volkswagen Polo.
Renault states that its new CMF-BEV platform for little cars and trucks will give the eventual R5 production model a variety of as much as 400km (249 miles).
