Renault: R5 electrifies Roland-Garros
GAME, 5 AND MATCH For the third time in a row, Renault is a premium partner of the Roland-Garros French Open tennis tournament from May 20 to June 9. The special Renault 5 E-Tech Electric Roland-Garros series will be presented there.
As a premium partner of the 2024 Roland-Garros French Open tennis tournament, Renault will have a 150 square meter stand dedicated to the Renault 5 E-Tech 100% electric. During the tournament from May 20 to June 9, Renault will present the new electric car there for the first time in the special Roland-Garros series. However, the edition will not go on sale until 2025.
Special series Roland-Garros
There is a choice of four body colors for the Roland-Garros special series: Blanc Nacré, Bleu Nocturne, Noir Étoilé and Gris Schiste matt. These colors perfectly match the roof stripes in satin chrome and the 18-inch wheels in Noir Brillant. The specially designed wheels add a further accent with a hub cap in a matt Gris Schiste. The lower section of the front doors is adorned with the Roland Garros logo in the center of a St. Andrew's cross inspired by the architecture of the stadium. The roof of the Renault 5 E-Tech Electric Roland-Garros is adorned with a textile film in satin black.
Recyclates inside
Light grey upholstery fabrics with weaves inspired by functional sportswear characterize the interior. The Roland Garros logo is woven into the backrests of the front seats. The seat fabric and the blue TEP can also be found on the door panels. Under the air vent on the passenger side is an embroidery with the words "blue white clay" in reference to the clay courts of the French Open. The E-Pop selector lever with the Roland Garros logo is inspired by the handle of a tennis racket.
Give Me 5 - practical projects
To promote access to sports activities for young people in disadvantaged neighborhoods, Renault launched the Give Me 5 campaign in 2022 to support the construction and renovation of tennis courts in France, Brazil and Argentina. In France, Renault is working with the Fête le Mur association to finance three new tennis courts in disadvantaged neighborhoods in Marseille, Poitiers and Roubaix.
Renault is providing a fleet of 180 vehicles for the tennis tournament - nine out of ten of the models used are electrified.
