The French brand ensures that the new Renault 5 2024 will be cheaper than the current Zoe, thanks to the use of a platform that is still 30% cheaper to manufacture.
Since the French brand confirmed the return of the Renault 5 and we saw the first prototype, it has become one of the most anticipated electric cars, although it will not arrive until 2024. For now, we can already tell you that the 2024 Renault 5 will be cheaper than the current Renault Zoe.
And it is that Renault is multiplying its efforts to make its next urban electric car cheaper than the one it currently sells, which it will soon stop manufacturing and whose price in Spain is around 36,000 euros.
Despite the fact that prices have risen in practically all sectors, the brand with the rhombus is confident of keeping its promise regarding the price of the Renault 5, mainly because the manufacture of the new CMF-B EV platform, on which it stands the vehicle, is 30% cheaper than the Zoe.
The French manufacturer is not committed to giving figures yet, since the production of the Renault 5 will not start until 2024. But, at least, we already know that it should not cost more than the 36,230 euros at which the Renault Zoe starts.
The Renault 5 2024 will be cheaper than the current Renault Zoe
But apart from the cheaper platform, there are other reasons for the cheaper price of the 2024 Renault 5.
For example, the DC converter, battery charger and accessory box have been packaged in a single unit, making it less expensive to assemble, as well as saving 20kg in weight in equivalent parts over the Zoe.
On the other hand, the four-module battery pack saves another 15 kg, compared to the Zoe’s 12-module unit, as pointed out by Top Gear media.
This saving has allowed the brand to install a more elaborate suspension scheme on the rear end, using a multi-link rear axle, something normally reserved for vehicles in higher and much more expensive segments. This will allow the Renault 5 2024 to offer a very high driving pleasure, as the firm ensures.
no technical data
At the moment, we still do not have detailed information about the propulsion system, although we do know that it will be based on the synchronous motor of the Renault Megane E Tech Electric, which produces 220 CV. Which makes us think that it will have a similar power. Renault has not yet revealed figures on battery capacity and autonomy.
There is no choice but to continue waiting a little longer to find out more details about one of the most anticipated electric vehicles, the return of the Renault 5, although this time in a fully electric format.
