RENAULT 5 E-TECH ELECTRIC IS VOTED CAR DEALER POWER “CAR OF THE YEAR 2025” BY THE UK’S AUTOMOTIVE RETAILERS
The Renault 5 E-Tech electric has been named Car Dealer Power “Car of the Year 2025”, after retailers from across the country – and regardless of the franchise they represent – voted it the car that has had the greatest impact on the motor trade this year.
Car Dealer Power honours the finest suppliers in the motor trade, with the winners whittled down from some 2,000 entries across 23 categories. For the manufacturer awards, dealers were asked to rank their partners in 13 categories that cover all areas of the franchise, while also being given the opportunity to vote for the car they felt deserved the ultimate accolade.
Awarding the Renault 5 E-Tech electric the coveted “Car of the Year” title, James Baggott, Editor-in-Chief of Car Dealer Magazine, said: “The Renault 5 has been winning awards and plaudits from the automotive industry since it burst on the scene earlier this year. But, in many ways, this is the award that really matters.”
“The Renault 5 has both added some much-needed excitement to the lower end of the electric car market, and given Renault dealers some fire in their bellies. This small car is delivering a huge impact. It's the right car at the right time – congratulations Renault.”
Adam Wood, Managing Director, Renault UK, said: “Adam Wood, Managing Director, Renault UK, said: “Car Retailers are the backbone of the automotive industry and are playing a pivotal role in the UK’s electrification journey. We are proud of this award, which shows endorsement from existing partners and competitor franchisees alike, further proving that Renault 5 E-Tech electric has brought some extra sparkle to the UK’s electric vehicle market. Thank you to our colleagues across the industry for this recognition.”
