A top-seed vehicle that is both elegant and sporty
Complementing the three trim levels already available in the Renault 5 E-Tech electric range (evolution, techno, iconic five), the new Roland-Garros special edition is the highest-spec version of the multi-award-winning supermini.

Priced at £29,995 OTR and available to order from today for Renault 5 R Pass customers, the stylish special edition’s comprehensive specification builds on that of the iconic five with a host of exclusive features.

Elegant and sporty, it pays tribute to the world of tennis and the Roland-Garros tournament. Four bodywork colours are available: Artic White, Midnight Blue, Diamond Black and the exclusive matte shade of Shadow Grey. These shades are a perfect match for the satin chrome roofline and specially designed 18-inch black diamond-cut Electro alloy wheels with centres in Shadow Grey.

Other bespoke details further enhance the exterior. At the base of the front doors is a Cross of Saint Andrew featuring a Roland-Garros logo in the centre, inspired by the architecture of the Roland-Garros stadium.

Inside, the exclusive special light grey upholstery is a cross between sports clothing and upholstery fabric, with a dense but fine, graphic weave. This fully recycled textile includes several open-weave features, including the H-shape of the backrest. The overall effect is enhanced by side supports and an armrest covered in deep blue material. The backrests of the front seats gain a heat-embossed Roland-Garros logo.

The door panels and lower dashboard include insets in the seat fabric, alongside the deep blue material and a small French flag. On the satin metal dashboard, a vertical cross strip in an anodised metal finish includes a backlit area displaying the name “Roland-Garros Paris”.

The tip of the e-pop shifter is inspired by the grip of tennis rackets, with the Roland-Garros logo at the end, just like on the base of a racket. The centre console features a clay-coloured wireless smartphone charger, while floor mats with a clay-coloured contour add the finishing touch to the interior. The brushed aluminium door sills also feature the name “Roland-Garros Paris” with the Cross of Saint Andrew graphics.

South West homeowners face seven-day waits for urgent repairs as tradie shortages continue to bite Fix Radio analysis shows the South West is among the slowest regions for urgent fixes, while Plymouth records one of the longest city-level waits in the UK The South West records an average 7-day wait for an urgent tradie fix. Plymouth records one of the longest city-level waits in the dataset, at 10 days. Across the 17 cities surveyed, the average wait for an urgent fix is just over 6 days. CITB says the UK construction industry needs to recruit the equivalent of 239,300 extra workers between 2025 and 2029. Analysis from Fix Radio shows that homeowners in the South West are facing an average seven-day wait for an urgent tradesperson fix, placing the region among the slower parts of the UK for repair response times. Based on Fix Radio’s analysis of city-level urgent repair wait-time data from Markel Direct’s Censuswide survey of UK homeowners, the findings point to continued pressure on trades capacity, local demand and labour availability across the region. The national picture remains highly uneven. The East of England records the shortest average wait at three days, followed by the North East on four days, the North West on 4.5 days and London on five. Wales and the South East each average six days, Yorkshire and the Humber sits at 6.5, while the South West, West Midlands, Scotland and Northern Ireland all come in at seven days. At the other end of the scale, the East Midlands records the longest average delay at nine days, leaving a six-day gap between the fastest and slowest regional averages in the dataset. The research also found that 44% of homeowners have already delayed repairs because of the cost of hiring a tradesperson, while city-level data shows waits stretching as high as 10 days in Plymouth for urgent issues. That makes the South West one of the clearest examples of how regional pressure can build when local demand, household repair needs and labour constraints begin to overlap. Set against a construction workforce already under strain, the figures point to a region where availability remains a growing issue for both customers and tradespeople. CITB forecasts that the industry will need to recruit the equivalent of 239,300 extra workers between 2025 and 2029, with the UK construction workforce expected to reach around 2.75 million by 2029. From Fix Radio’s perspective, the findings reflect a wider story around availability, local demand and the challenge of keeping enough skilled people in the pipeline. Waiting times are not only a sign of homeowner frustration. They also show where order books are full, where capacity is tight and where the wider conversation around skills and recruitment is becoming harder to ignore. In the South West, where regional averages are already above the national benchmark and Plymouth stands out as one of the slowest locations in the dataset, that pressure is becoming increasingly visible.
