What's new in this version
An update announced in August 2026, when orders opened across Europe. Aerodynamic changes (a lower body and new door mirrors) and revised battery electronics raise the WLTP range of the 40 kWh Urban Range version from 312 km to 315 km and the 52 kWh Comfort Range from 410 km to 430 km. The entry-level Five swaps its 95 hp motor for an 80 kW (110 hp) motor from the Twingo with a 36.5 kWh LFP battery and, for the first time, DC fast charging as standard. Smart driving mode replaces MySense, a cooled Qi2 wireless phone charger is added, and there are new colours including Flame Red.
