2027 Renault 5 Turbo 3E: Australia-bound hot hatch EV will be very exclusive

Renault plans to build 1,980 units of the electric Renault 5 Turbo 3E globally from 2027, marking a nod to the original R5 Turbo unveiled in 1980.
The Renault 5 Turbo 3E could be the most expensive Renault sold in Australia, potentially surpassing the $108,000 Megane R.S. Trophy-R Record Version from 2019.
The vehicle features a 70kWh battery targeting a 400km driving range and boasts performance specs such as a 0-100km/h time of 3.5 seconds.
Renault has not yet confirmed how many units will arrive in Australia or the pricing, though expressions of interest began in late December.
