Renault past voor het eerst LFP-accutechnologie toe in de R5, waardoor de goedkoopste versie krachtiger wordt en eindelijk ook geschikt is voor snelladen via gelijkstroom.<\/p>\n<p>Het is een interessante stap, omdat Renault niet probeert een model in moeilijkheden te redden. Integendeel. De R5 werd in 2025 in Europa meer dan 100.000 keer verkocht en was de best verkochte elektrische auto in het B-segment op het continent.<\/p>\n<p>Die situatie zette zich in de eerste helft van 2026 voort. De Europese verkoop van volledig elektrische auto\u2019s (BEV\u2019s) door Renault steeg in diezelfde periode met 63,2%, mede dankzij de R5, R4 en Scenic.<\/p>\n<p>Daardoor lijkt deze update meer op een preventieve verdedigingsmaatregel. Kleine, betaalbare elektrische auto\u2019s ontwikkelen zich tot een van de meest concurrerende segmenten in Europa, waarbij Koreaanse en Chinese merken Renault steeds vaker onder druk zetten, zowel op het gebied van prijs als specificaties.<\/p>\n<h4>Meer dan alleen een batterij-update<\/h4>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">Renault heeft de wijzigingen niet beperkt tot de accu\u2019s. De R5 krijgt ook een aangepaste aerodynamica aan de onderkant en nieuwe buitenspiegels, naast geoptimaliseerde accuelektronica.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">Dankzij die relatief kleine aanpassingen kan de 52 kWh Comfort Range-versie haar WLTP-actieradius vergroten van 410 naar 430 kilometer, zonder dat de accucapaciteit wordt vergroot. De 40 kWh Urban Range-versie laat slechts een bescheiden toename zien, van 312 naar 315 kilometer.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">De grootste praktische verbetering is weggelegd voor de goedkoopste Five. De huidige aandrijving van 95 pk maakt plaats voor een nieuwe, lichtere en compactere elektromotor van 80 kW\/110 pk uit dezelfde serie als de motor die in de nieuwe Twingo E-Tech Electric wordt gebruikt. Renault claimt een acceleratie van 0 tot 50 km\/h in 3,5 seconden.<\/p>\n<h4 class=\"isSelectedEnd\">DC-snelladen<\/h4>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">Wat nog belangrijker is: de Five beschikt nu eindelijk over DC-snelladen. Naast de ingebouwde AC-lader van 6,6 kW kan hij nu tot 80 kW aan bij een snellader.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-192444\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/newmobility.news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/R53.webp?resize=640%2C360&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/newmobility.news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/R53.webp?resize=1024%2C576&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/newmobility.news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/R53.webp?w=1280&amp;ssl=1 1280w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/newmobility.news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/R53.webp?w=1920&amp;ssl=1 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">De uitlopende instapversie R5 beschikte helemaal niet over DC-oplaadmogelijkheden, waardoor deze verder aantrekkelijke elektrische auto van \u20ac 24.900 buiten de stad aanzienlijk minder bruikbaar was.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">Renault werkt ook aan een update van de elektronica en de uitrusting. Een nieuwe \u2018Smart\u2019-rijmodus schakelt automatisch tussen de standen Eco, Comfort en Sport, afhankelijk van de rijomstandigheden, en vervangt daarmee de vorige gepersonaliseerde modus.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">De speciale Multi-Sense-knop verdwijnt van het stuurwiel, hoewel de modi nog steeds kunnen worden geselecteerd via het OpenR Link-touchscreen of met de stem.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">Er is een nieuwe magnetische en geventileerde Qi2 draadloze smartphone-oplader toegevoegd, het eCall-noodsysteem is overgestapt op 4G en Renault biedt nu drie jaar lang 2 GB mobiele data per maand aan voor verbonden boordtoepassingen.<\/p>\n<p>De uiterlijke veranderingen zijn bescheiden maar talrijk. Flame Red en Schist Grey worden aan het kleurenpalet toegevoegd, samen met nieuwe contrasterende daklijsten, optionele goudkleurige velgen en Vibrant5- en Hyper5-grafische elementen. Bij de Iconic-uitvoering is de gele gem\u00ealeerde bekleding vervangen door een nieuwe blauwe uitvoering.<\/p>\n<h4>Leren van China<\/h4>\n<p>LFP is zeker geen nieuwkomer in de sector. BYD en andere Chinese fabrikanten maken al jaren gebruik van deze goedkopere chemische samenstelling.<\/p>\n<p>Renault kondigde in 2024 aan dat het LFP aan zijn batterijstrategie zou toevoegen, waarbij het bedrijf stelde dat LFP in combinatie met de \u2018cell-to-pack\u2019-constructie de batterijkosten met ongeveer 20% zou kunnen verlagen.<\/p>\n<p>De technologie werd voor het eerst toegepast in de nieuwe elektrische Twingo en wordt nu in hoog tempo ook in de R5 ge\u00efntegreerd. Dat is veelzeggend: Renault past een van de belangrijkste kostenbesparende technieken toe die door Chinese fabrikanten van elektrische auto\u2019s worden gebruikt, terwijl het de R5, de assemblage van de accu\u2019s en een groot deel van de toeleveringsketen in Europa houdt.<\/p>\n<p>De prijs van de nieuwe LFP Five is nog niet bekendgemaakt. Dat zou uiteindelijk wel eens het belangrijkste cijfer van deze hele update kunnen zijn.<\/p>\n<h4>Wedstrijden onder de \u20ac 30.000<\/h4>\n<p>Renault heeft goede redenen om niet te wachten. In Belgi\u00eb is de Hyundai Inster verkrijgbaar vanaf \u20ac 24.099 en heeft hij een actieradius tot 355 km. BYD adverteert momenteel met de kleinere Dolphin Surf vanaf \u20ac 20.475, terwijl de nieuwe EV2 van Kia wordt aangeboden vanaf \u20ac 23.290 en in de versie met groot bereik maar liefst 453 km haalt.<\/p>\n<p>De R5 heeft nog steeds sterke troeven in huis: een opvallend ontwerp, Europese productie, een ongewoon geavanceerde multi-link achteras en een merk- en dealernetwerk dat bij de gemiddelde koper bekend is. Maar hij kan er niet langer op vertrouwen dat hij een van de weinige overtuigende kleine elektrische auto\u2019s op de markt is.<\/p>\n<p>Nederland illustreert hoe het beeld verandert. Van januari tot en met juli 2026 werden daar zo\u2019n 2.366 R5\u2019s geregistreerd.<\/p>\n<p>Maar in juli werd het aantal van ongeveer 304 registraties al overtroffen door de Hyundai Inster met 463 en de pas gelanceerde Kia EV2 met 391.<\/p>\n<p>De update van Renault is dus niet zozeer bedoeld om 20 kilometer extra bereik toe te voegen aan een succesvolle elektrische auto, maar om dat succes levend te houden. De R5 heeft bewezen dat een Europese fabrikant een elektrische kleine auto kan bouwen waar klanten daadwerkelijk op zitten te wachten.<\/p>\n<p>De volgende uitdaging is om aan te tonen dat het dit kan blijven doen, nu Koreaanse en Chinese concurrenten een grotere actieradius en betere uitrusting gaan aanbieden voor minder geld.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Renault is already giving its electric R5 a surprisingly substantial technical update less than two years after launch.
