The Renault 5 E-Tech is assembled in Douai, France.
Assembly takes place at Renault’s Douai plant in northern France, part of Renault ElectriCity, the company’s electric-vehicle manufacturing hub. Renault ElectriCity links facilities in Douai, Maubeuge and Ruitz, with different plants handling different parts of the supply chain. For the Renault 5 E-Tech, final vehicle assembly is carried out at Douai, while components are made elsewhere in the regional network.
The location has a strong connection with Renault’s small-car history. The Douai factory began operating in the 1970s and has built several important Renault models over the decades. The original Renault 5 was also produced at Douai in its early manufacturing history, although Flins was its principal production location for much of the classic car’s life.
That history makes Flins a tempting wrong answer. Flins has long been associated with Renault manufacturing and later became important for remanufacturing and circular-economy activities, but it is not the final-assembly site for the modern Renault 5 E-Tech. Sochaux is associated with Stellantis and Peugeot production, while Dieppe is particularly linked with Alpine sports cars.
