Historic Anglo-Franco rivalries will be celebrated at St Pancras International this summer, as visitors passing through the station are given the chance to explore the hotly anticipated new Renault 5 E-Tech 100% electric in a culture-mixing display where England and France playfully collide.

From Monday July 22 to Sunday August 11, a small section of a Parisian cobbled street will be recreated on the main concourse of the famous London station. Parked at the curb will be the new Renault 5 E-Tech 100% electric, adorned with a Union Jack on its roof, next to a British telephone box that has been given a Renault-themed makeover.

“It’s not easy to be a British icon. If you’re French,” it’ll remind passers-by, as they are invited to explore the new Renault 5’s contemporary design and innovative technology. Some will be offered the chance to take home a limited-edition scale model of the car, wearing the same patriotic livery.

David Isherwood, Marketing Director, Renault UK, said: “The original Renault 5 charmed the nation with its sense of fun and innovative style. Now the Renault 5 is back, reinvented to bring some excitement to the world of compact electric vehicles, and it’s keen to pick up its mantle as a cultural icon. For many people, this will be their first chance to see the new Renault 5 E-Tech 100% electric before it arrives officially on our shores next year and get acquainted with its heart-winning design and cutting-edge technology.”

The Renault 5 E-Tech 100% electric, faithful to the 2021 concept car, harks back to its glorious past while building on the enduring love affair it shared with many. Yet it is also the epitome of modernity, from its all-electric AmpR small car platform through to its agile handling and innovative, new technology. With a driving range of up to 248 miles on a single charge (pending WLTP certification), the Renault 5 E-Tech 100% electric is planned to arrive in the UK in Q1 2025. Customers eager to be among the first behind the wheel can R-Pass, for £150, to place their order 10 days before the general public.
