Renault Now Offers Five-Year Warranty on EVs – But One Model Gets More Expensive

Renault has joined the ranks of car brands offering a five-year warranty on electric vehicles in Denmark. Starting Saturday, May 24, all customers who purchase a new EV from an authorized Renault dealer will automatically receive extended coverage.

Applies to All EVs – With One Exception

The new warranty program covers the 5 E-Tech, Megane E-Tech, Scenic E-Tech, and the upcoming Renault 4 E-Tech. The warranty is valid for up to five years or 150,000 km (whichever comes first) and is nearly identical to the standard factory warranty. However, it’s worth noting that roadside assistance is not included during the last three years.

Renault clarifies that customers will still receive roadside assistance after the first two years—if the vehicle continues to be serviced at an authorized Renault workshop.

Price Hike for One Model

While the Megane E-Tech and Scenic E-Tech will retain their current prices—DKK 244,990 and DKK 269,990 respectively—the new Renault 5 E-Tech will see a price increase of DKK 5,000.

This means the most affordable version of Renault’s electric mini will now cost DKK 189,990.

For customers who have already ordered a 5 E-Tech but haven’t yet received delivery, Renault offers a choice: keep the original price and get the standard two-year warranty, or pay the extra DKK 5,000 and receive the full five-year coverage. According to Renault, their recommendation is clear—it’s worth the added cost.

Not Retroactive

The new warranty does not apply retroactively. Customers who received their vehicle before May 24 are still covered by the existing two-year factory warranty. This also applies to vehicles ordered before the cutoff date but already delivered.

Renault Follows Competitors

With this move, Renault aligns itself with brands like Volkswagen, Citroën, Audi, Skoda, and Mercedes-Benz, all of which already offer five-year EV warranties in Denmark.

Some major brands are still lagging behind, though. BMW, Mini, and Volvo, for instance, continue to offer only the legally required two-year factory warranty—something that may impact consumer confidence in long-term durability and resale value.
