Performance

The Renault 5 E-Tech 40kWh 120hp kWh provides basic performance with a maximum power of 90 kW (122 hp / 121 bhp) and a total torque of 225 Nm (166 lb-ft). It accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h (0 to 62 mph) in 9 seconds and reaches a top speed of 140 km/h (87 mph), which is more comparable to entry-level traditional internal combustion engine vehicles.

Battery, Range, and Charging

The high-capacity battery has a gross capacity of 43.0 kWh and a net usable capacity of 40.0 kWh, providing a 3.0 kWh buffer (7.0%) for battery protection. With a nominal voltage of 352 volts, the system is classified as a 400-volt battery system, aligning with industry standards.

According to the WLTP (Worldwide Harmonized Light Vehicles Test Procedure) standard, the vehicle's range is 312 km (194 miles), with an energy consumption rate of 12.8 kWh/100 km (3 mi/kWh). For more details about the range, see real-world data and range listings on this model’s range and consumption page.

The vehicle supports fast DC charging with a maximum power of 80 kW. Charging from 0% to 100% takes approximately 54 minutes, while a more typical scenario from 10% to 80% takes 23 minutes with an average charging speed of 74 kW. Considering an additional 5 minutes for each charging stop due to driving interruptions, the optimal charging range is from 4% to 61%. This results in an effective charging speed, including time lost, of 64 kW, with each charging session taking about 21 minutes and 26 seconds.

In a 1000 km challenge at a constant speed of 120 km/h (75 mph) with an assumed consumption rate of 22 kWh/100 km, the trip would take about 11 hours and 10 minutes, requiring nine charging stops from 5% to 55%, totaling 170 minutes of charging time.
