Renault 5 delivery times

Hello Ivri, Since this year's open days (mid-March), the R5 has become eligible for the EEC surcharge for batteries of European origin. Contractually, all cars benefiting from this additional premium must therefore benefit from a French battery produced at AESC, in Douai. It's even indicated on the order form. Except that they were overwhelmed by demand and production could no longer keep up (for French batteries), hence the postponements for orders for March and April. As a result, since the beginning of May, the additional premium has disappeared. So I suppose that for May/June orders, there will be Chinese cells while the production delay is covered. On the other hand, good question, to know the origin of its battery. Perhaps it is indicated in the technical details of the car on the My Renault application, after delivery. Unless we receive a “certificate” on delivery? Or do you have to go through the OBD socket?

To be continued. If I manage to get information on the origin of the cells of my future Renault 5, I will let you know!

Hello, do you have any news regarding your vehicle?

Good evening axl_vlln, I recently received an email from the dealership telling me that my vehicle had been identified at the factory. The manufacturer plans an arrival no later than the end of July. In terms of application, the deadlines always indicate mid-August. And the “flexibility end” date has not changed. So I think it's on the right track, at least I hope. 🤞

How can we see the "flexibility end" date. I tried looking at the code of the web page, but I can't find it...

Hello Ivri, to access this information, you must log in to your My Renault account (https://myr.renault.fr/). Once connected, you must access the following page: https://myr.renault.fr/agg/v2/account/...and=renault. Then simply search for the element “"FLEXIBILITY_END","eventDate":", the date should be indicated right after.

Well, the date that appears is 06/10/2026.... And I don't know what to do with this information now since this date has passed 😅

Hello, the link to access this information does not work for me? How did you proceed on your side?

On the Renault.fr website

Sorry, wrong manipulation.... On the Renault.fr website I connected to my account, then I went to my orders, and once on the file of my vehicle being manufactured, I pasted the link given by R3no 👍

Thank you, for my part, I am given a date of June 10, 2026, for the flexibility end

Hello axl_vlIn and Ivri, if your date was June 10, your car has probably entered production. In any case, for my part, as long as it was not in production, the date kept getting pushed back.

Hello R3no, so that’s a pretty good sign. Hoping there are no problems afterwards.

Thanks for the info R3no. To be continued....

Hello R3no and Ivri, my vehicle enters production on June 23, 2026 and delivery before July 10, 2026. Seen with my dealership this morning. Finally some good news.

Excellent news 👍

Good evening axl_vlln, excellent news indeed. 👍

Yes, the factory apparently runs 24 hours a day at the moment. I hope you get some news soon from your side.

Logically, given the dates you have and those I have, my R5 should follow and be among the next to enter production. 🤞

Axl_vlln: has your flexibility end date been updated? You had the same date as me (06/10), but production should finally start on 06/23?

Hello Ivri, no my flexibility end date is still 06/10/2026. So we shouldn't hold it against it. It is best to contact the dealership directly.

The dealership has access to additional information.

Ok. Well, I'm going to avoid harassing them and leave the Douai employees alone who are doing their best! 👍
