Renault 5 E-Tech Electric Scoops 'Best Car Of The Year' Title For 2024/2025
The Renault 5 E-Tech 100% electric has been honoured with the title of ‘Best Car of the Year – The New Car World Champion 2024/2025’ by the not-for-profit organisation Best Cars of the Year. This accolade was determined through a combination of public votes and evaluations by an expert panel, which includes car designers, engineers, automotive executives, and award-winning motoring journalists.
In addition to this prestigious title, the Renault 5 E-Tech 100% electric also received the ‘Best Electric Car 2024/2025’ award. The announcement was made during a special ceremony on the opening day of the British Motor Show. The judging panel for these awards comprises industry-leading professionals from various sectors within the automotive world.
From the time of the ceremony until the show’s closure at 5pm on August 18th, members of the public were invited to choose from a trio of finalists that were shortlisted for the ultimate award of ‘Best Car of the Year – The New Car World Champion 2024/2025’. Once the public had their say, including via the official www.bestcarsoftheyear.com website, and the judging panel had cast their own votes, it was the Renault 5 E-Tech 100% electric that came out on top.
Shiro Nakamura, former Nissan design chief and one of the judges, praised its design: "Although the all-new Renault 5 is obviously designed as a homage to the original version, it is beyond retro design and expresses modernity as an electric vehicle in regards to proportion, surface details and colour, material and finish – especially for its interior."
Award-winning journalist Ray Massey added: "Renault really is on a revitalised roll and the new Renault 5 – about to hit the road and UK showrooms – is leading that latter-day French revolution. It has put rocket-boosters under a 21st century retro revival of a much-loved classic. It’s a fun and clever car that’s within achievable real-world reach of many motorists. It always draws a crowd and creates a buzz wherever it goes on show. Put simply, it makes people smile. And we need much more of that today."
The Renault 5 E-Tech 100% electric proved to be one of the main attractions at the British Motor Show. Thousands of visitors enjoyed an early look at what it has to offer. Guillaume Sicard, Managing Director Renault UK, expressed his delight: "Since the original concept was revealed, interest in the all-electric Renault 5 has been incredible. We strive to produce cars that support sustainable mobility yet are also emotive, and this award confirms that this is a winning formula in every sense."
Upcoming Launch
The Renault 5 E-Tech 100% electric remains faithful to its 2021 concept car while incorporating modern features such as agile handling and innovative technology. With a driving range of up to 248 miles on a single charge (pending WLTP certification), it is set to arrive in UK showrooms in Q1 2025. Customers eager to be among the first behind the wheel can purchase an R-Pass for £150, allowing them to place their order ten days before general sales begin.
This recognition underscores Renault's commitment to producing vehicles that combine sustainability with emotional appeal. The success of this model highlights its potential impact on future automotive trends.
