2024 Renault 5 B-segment EV hatch is 30% cheaper to manufacture than Zoe thanks to CMF-B EV platform
The CMF-B EV platform is 30% cheaper to manufacture than the Zoe, but it shares about 70% of its parts with the CMF-B platform used in the Clio and the Captur. The platform will use the tried and tested synchronous motor used in the Zoe and the Megane E-Tech electric instead of a permanent magnet motor.
The battery pack switches from the 12 modules used in the Zoe battery pack to 4 larger modules, which simplifies the electrical architecture and provides for a weight reduction of 15 kg. Renault says this way, the battery needs less physical size to offer more kWh. Renault has prepared 9 prototypes for testing, currently wearing Clio body parts. They are currently undergoing winter testing in Sweden as well as Renault tech centres in Lardy and Aubevoye. The Aubevoye tech centre spans an area of 613 hectares with 35 tracks covering 60km, 42 test lines, 2 wind tunnels, 18 corrosion chambers, all hidden within 272 hectares of forest to shield the prototypes from prying eyes.

Thefor the Zen R110 base variant with a 110 PS motor, while the Intens R135 with a 135 PS motor goes for RM175k. Both variants use a 52 kWh battery pack with range of up to 395 km.
