Is the Renault Grand Modus a good car?
Read our expert review
Words by: Erin Baker
"Children of the Seventies and Eighties rejoice: the Renault 5 is back! Only this time it’s got a battery rather than a dodgy petrol engine and uses a huge percentage of recycled and recyclable materials. It’ll be in dealerships early 2025 with first deliveries in April. Delightfully, little has changed from the conceptual rendering of this futuristic city car, so the bold design remains inside and out, with eye-popping colours. Buyers have the choice of two batteries with different power outputs and ranges, and three trim levels. Those thinking this is a Zoe replacement will be pleasantly surprised: the Renault 5 is an altogether more grown-up and composed car."

Running costs for a Renault 5 E-Tech
5/5
Given the distance the Renault 5 is capable of covering on one charge (in either version), plus the equipment you get on the basic model, the Google tech and the high desirability factor, the list price of the car is very reasonable. Add to that the very low Benefit In Kind taxation that company car users will pay (even when it rises from April 2025), plus the low road tax (ditto), and the low charging costs for those fortunate enough to have off-street parking and a home charger with an off-peak tariff, and you have one very cheap set of running costs.
Reliability of a Renault 5 E-Tech
3/5
The motor (which is now free from rare-earth metals) is a lighter version of the Mégane E-Tech but the chassis is brand new, so reliability is unknown. Renault has traditionally fared poorly as a brand in reliability and customer satisfaction terms, but Renault quality of materials and manufacturing have picked up considerably in recent years, and there are few reported problems with its electric and hybrid ranges. The battery pack has the usual eight-year warranty, while the rest of the car gets an unlimited-mileage two year warranty and a capped mileage in the third year of a total 100,00 miles – plenty for mortals.
Safety for a Renault 5 E-Tech
4/5
Renault has done a lot of work on protecting occupants and pedestrians in a crash, and can now add the battery to that list: damaged batteries account for rising insurance premiums because the wait for repairs is hefty at the moment, while the UK waits for more technicians to be trained up, so Renault’s work here is welcome. All versions get rear parking sensors, a driver attention alert and traffic sign recognition with speed alert. Buy the middle trim (Techno) and you get a rear-view camera while the top Iconic Five trim frustratingly gives you the most useful safety aid – the blind-spot warning.
How comfortable is the Renault 5 E-Tech
4/5
This is a very comfortable drive for such a small car: it’s relatively wind- and road-noise free and rides the bumps and lumps of the tarmac smoothly. It feels like a far more accomplished and pleasant place to sit on the move than the Zoe. You also get wide, sporty bucket seats covered in yellow or green material that echo the H-shaped seats of the original and are satisfyingly supportive through the corners. Boot space is narrow but deep. It’s a shame there aren't any pockets in the back doors for rear passengers to put small stuff, however, and the visibility could be better. The top trim level brings heated seats and a heated steering wheel. We do love the quilted wooly material used for the headliner, with echoes of the original.
Features of the Renault 5 E-Tech
5/5
You can personalise your Renault 5 with three different roof patterns and decorative plastic central storage boxes, but it does feel like most of the love has gone into the exterior design, compared with the endless customisation options in a Mini (but then again, the Mini costs a lot more). There are USB ports in the front, cup holders and a cool “5” logo on the bonnet where the original’s air intake was, which shows how much charge you have left (every light bar of he “5” represents 20 per cent charge). As with all new Renaults, owners get Google connectivity which is brilliant for the satnav, plus a new chatbot called “Reno” which will lower your windows for you at your command, plus other cool stuff (as with all AI, it’s a bit clunky and a bit annoying after the novelty wears off). There’s also wireless phone connectivity and wireless charging on the top trim level.
Power for a Renault 5 E-Tech
4/5
The choice is between a 150 horsepower (52kWh) battery and a 120 horsepower (40kWh) version (unless you buy the base Evolution trim level, which only comes with the smaller battery). The maximum range is 250 miles for the first version or 190 miles for the second. Franky, we doubt many people will buy this car as their first car over the next couple of years, given the state of the public charging network, so we’d recommend saving the pennies and going for the 190-mile version which is more than enough for daily local trips. We’re a little disappointed by the driving character of the Renault 5: it lacks the cheeky spirit of the original, and feels a bit sanitised. It certainly doesn’t match the verve of the design and, while we know Renault is reserving more oomph for the Alpine A290 which will be the hot-hatch version, we could just do with a little more fun injected into the steering and chassis. Maybe even a fake engine noise wouldn’t go amiss in Sport mode. Speaking of which, you get the multi-sense button on the steering wheel to travel between normal, eco, sort and “perso” (make it up) modes, but none of them feels very scintillating. Maybe it’s just too good, too refined, and we miss those Eighties winter bump starts. It will be interesting to see what those born after 1990 make of it.
