Renault Group’s electric vehicles (EV) unit Ampere is to launch seven models by 2031, including a city car called the Legend priced at under £17,000.

The Legend will be built at its Renault's factory in Slovenia from 2026 and will offer best-in-class efficiency with energy consumption of 10 kilowatt-hours per 100 km, improving on the 15 kWh/100km of most small BEVs currently available. Renault's factory in Slovenia, already builds battery-electric and combustion engine versions of the Twingo minicar.

Ampere's lineup will also include the Megane E-Tech (pictured), launched last year; the Scenic E-Tech, which goes on sale early next year; the forthcoming Renault 5 to be revealed early next year; and the Renault 4 to be launched in 2025.
