Renault reviews

Renault is currently on a bit of a charge. You see, the French marque has been hard at work assembling a varied and talented lineup of electric cars. And they’re all rather good. 

Take Renault 5 E-Tech electric for starters – it certainly looks the part with its futuristic reimagining of the classic car’s iconic looks. We also found it brilliant to drive, too. And, the clever infotainment system, with built-in Google features, is a breeze to use. In fact, we liked Renault 5 E-Tech electric so much that we named it What Car?’s Car of the Year for 2025 and our Best Small Electric Car for 2026. And we’re not alone in rating it so highly, it’s already won more than 30 awards from the motoring press.  

Meanwhile, Renault 4 E-Tech electric, much like its smaller sibling, effortlessly blends retro-futuristic style and Renault character with cutting-edge tech – this time in the form of a rugged, family-friendly compact SUV with a generous 420-litre boot. It earned a full five-star What Car? Rating, too, and its generous standard equipment list led to us naming it our Best Small Electric SUV for Value in 2026. 

Elsewhere in the range, the larger Megane E-Tech electric is sharp to drive and offers a premium, high-tech cabin. And finally, the largest car in the range, the five-star Scenic E-Tech electric SUV, is as comfortable darting around town as it is at accommodating long-distance escapades, boasting a massive range of up to 379 miles.* 

So whether you're navigating tight city streets or crossing the country with the family, Renault’s diverse E-Tech electric range should be on every buyer’s shortlist.
