As the face of the Renault Groupe s recently announced Renaulution programme, it doesn t get more symbolic than the Renault 5 prototype, a modern all-electric take on the inimitable Renault 5 of the 70s. The Renaulution programme, a strategy plan for the next five years and beyond, will see Renault evolve into a tech, service and clean energy brand, while supposedly keeping its heritage in sight. Specifically, the group plans to launch 14 new vehicles by 2025, of which seven will be pure electric and the others in the C- and D- segments will be offered with hybrid powertrains.
