Renault 5 and Renault 4 are now available to order with the full GBP3,750 Government Electric Car Grant (ECG) saving.
All eligible R5s will have the longer-range 52kWh battery option, with techno+ models costing from GBP23,945 with the ECG applied, iconic five+ from GBP25,945 and Roland Garros+ from GBP26,945.
With R4 only offered with a 52kWh battery, the entire range will be available with the full saving, with evolution+ versions costing from GBP23,455, techno+ from GBP25,945 and iconic+ from GBP27,9455.
The highest-level grant applies to R5 and R4 models carrying the '+' designation, which signifies that they are fitted with batteries sourced from Renault Group's newly opened Douai gigafactory, and which is run in partnership with AESC, and part of the sustainability-focused Electri-city car production hub in northern France.
The GBP3,750 ECG grant saving is possible because of Renault Group's long-term commitment to hitting Science Based Target Initiative (SBTI) standards and the new Douai gigafactory meeting the UK Government's most stringent environmental criteria.
'The awarding of the top-tier GBP3,750 Electric Car Grant is great news for customers who are thinking about switching to electric,' said Adam Wood, Managing Director of Renault Group UK. 'Renault 5 and Renault 4 are multi award-winning vehicles thanks to their unique blend of head and heart appeal and, now, thanks to the added incentive of top tier Electric Car Grant, they are more accessible than ever.
'Renault is committed to democratising car ownership. With Renault 5, Renault 4 and soon new Twingo, we are expanding the appeal of electric cars to more people, offering great design and competitive technology at highly accessible prices. We are pleased to see that our focus on environmental accountability and investment in made-in-Europe battery manufacturing has been recognised by the awarding of the top-tier Electric Car Grant. Since the grant was introduced we have seen momentum build in the market, and this decision will further boost the UK's rising EV sales even further.'
To differentiate the latest line-up, and in response to early customer feedback, R5+ versions will receive trim enhancements as standard: techno+ versions will get a contrasting black roof, while iconic five+ and Roland Garros+ versions receive a Harman Kardon stereo.
R4+ versions will also receive trim enhancements as standard: evolution+ will get a new 18-inch steel wheel design, techno+ versions will get a contrasting black roof and iconic+ versions receive a Harman Kardon stereo.
