We recently visited the new Renault Store at Dundrum Town Centre to see the iconic Renault 5, which is now available at dealerships nationwide. Since opening in mid-January, the Renault Store has attracted over 20,000 visitors, offering an immersive experience into the world of “new” Renault. By presenting its latest models in innovative ways, Renault is emphasising its commitment to the electric vehicle market. Located on Level 1 of Dundrum Town Centre, the store welcomes visitors every day of the week to explore the new range of Renault EVs. Renault experts are on hand to offer advice on EV ownership, including topics like charging, range, and everyday practicality. For those eager to see the 2025 Car of the Year up close, the Renault Store provides a great opportunity.
Voted Car of the Year 2025 in January by the European Car of the Year jury, the Renault 5 E-Tech Electric earned the prestigious title. This recognition follows Renault’s success with the Scenic E-Tech Electric, which won Car of the Year 2024. The fully electric Renault 5 E-Tech is now available in dealerships nationwide, with prices starting at a competitive €25,995 or €225 per month on PCP finance. The Renault 5 E-Tech comes with two battery options: a 40kWh and a 52kWh, offering various power outputs. The entry-level 40kWh battery, paired with a 120bhp electric motor, provides a range of up to 310km WLTP. Customers can choose from three trims: Evolution, Techno, and Iconic, with pricing starting at €25,995 for the Evolution, €27,995 for the Techno, and €29,995 for the top-spec Iconic. All prices include the SEAI grant.
Standard features across all trims include Android Auto, wireless Apple CarPlay, automatic climate control, an Arkamys speaker system, and automatic LED lights. The Evolution trim includes a 7-inch digital driver display, a 10.1-inch OpenR Link multimedia system, rear parking sensors, and an electric parking brake. The Techno trim adds diamond-cut alloy wheels, Google Built-in, EV Route Planning, a rearview camera, and heated door mirrors. The range-topping Iconic trim comes with Chrono Diamond Cut alloy wheels, hands-free parking, heated seats, and an advanced driver assistance system with intelligent adaptive cruise control and lane-keeping assistance.
The more powerful 52kWh battery, paired with a 150bhp electric motor, extends the driving range to 410km. This option is available in the Techno trim, priced from €30,995, and the flagship Iconic trim, starting at €32,995. Five vibrant body colours are offered, including two iconic 1970s-inspired shades: Pop Yellow! and Pop Green!, both with a sparkling finish. The other available colours are Pearl White, Starry Black, and Midnight Blue. Two-tone paintwork with a Starry Black roof is available on the Iconic and Techno trims. All models come with 18-inch wheels as standard.
The Renault 5 E-Tech Electric features a new 11 kW AC bi-directional charger with V2L (vehicle-to-load) capability. With V2L, you can power a 220V appliance (up to 3,700W) directly from your car’s battery using a simple adapter. The 11 kW charger, standard on all versions, allows for a 15% to 80% charge of the 52kWh battery in just 3 hours and 13 minutes. For on-the-go charging, the car’s 100kW DC fast charging capability charges the battery from 15% to 80% in just 30 minutes. The new Renault 5 E-Tech Electric is set to be a game changer here in Ireland and we are looking forward to spending a week with the vehicle in coming weeks.
