The coming version will be one of 10 full electric Renault Group models to be launched by 2025. Among them are the compact Megane E-Tech launched earlier this year; the Renault 5, expected to start production in France by early 2024; a compact SUV expected to be called Scenic; a midsize SUV; and two models for sports-car brand Alpine, a small “hot hatch” and larger SUV.
The Renault 4, Renault 5 and the Alpine small car will be built on a new – but not all-new – electric-only platform called CMF-BEV. The architecture has a new center section to accommodate a flat battery pack, but 50 percent of its components come from the existing Renault-Nissan CMF-B platform, Renault has said.
Renault and alliance partner Nissan will share the CMF-BEV platform for small cars and the CMF-EV platform for compact and midsize cars.
By 2030, every new Renault model launched for Europe should be electric-only, CEO Luca de Meo has said.
