Car Deal of the Day: Racy and retro Renault 5 for only £188 a month

The Renault 5 is taking the market by storm – and at this price it’s easy to see why. It’s our Deal of the Day for August 30

  • Retro design; quality feel
  • 192-mile range; fun handling
  • Just £187.60 a month 

If the Renault 5’s style and panache weren’t tempting enough, then get a load of this. The modern-day Super Cinq has just had an enormous price cut, meaning this slice of retro cool is now available for less than £190 a month.

The French manufacturer has been very aggressive with leasing deals since it launched its revived 5 earlier this year. It has offered excellent value for money since day one, but, thanks to the Government giving the 5 the thumbs-up for the Electric Car Grant, it’s now even cheaper.

This deal from Lease Car UK, via the Auto Express Buy A Car service, sees the retro Renault come in at just £187.60 a month

The three-year package requires a £2,599.20 initial payment, while mileage is capped at 5,000 a year – although 8,000 can be had for less than a tenner extra a month.

This gets you the Evolution Urban Range – in other words, the entry-level car with the smallest battery. But don’t fret, as this is still a cracker. 

Standard features include a 10.1-inch central touchscreen with integrated route planning and Google maps, LED headlights and 18-inch diamond-cut alloys. Plus, the colour is Pop Green – a vibrant shade with a metallic fleck, and in keeping with the car’s vintage vibe.

Powering this 5 is a 40kWh battery, giving it a range of just under 200 miles. An 118bhp electric motor endows the car with a zippy feel, while firm suspension keeps things feeling sporty. 

The interior has a stylish look and a quality ambience. Space in the back seats isn’t the best, but the boot capacity is decent at 326 litres. 

The Car Deal of the Day selections we make are taken from our own Auto Express Buy A Car deals service, which includes the best current offers from car dealers and leasing companies around the UK.
