Renault has confirmed that it will launch a new version of the popular 5 as an affordable electric supermini.

The French firm revealed the machine during the unveiling of the ‘Renaulution’ strategic plan this morning. While no details of the machine have been given, it will be a key part of Renault’s push for 30% of its sales to be full electric vehicles by 2025. The firm will launch seven new EVs by then.

Renault boss Luca de Meo, who during his time at Fiat was key in reviving the 500, said: “I know from experience that reinventing a cult products lights a fire under the whole brand. This is a cult vehicle at a price many can afford. And this is only the beginning for the whole Renault brand.”
