Vive la R5VOLUTION! All-new Renault 5 electric supermini is finally HERE | Electrifying.com

COMPLETE PREVIEW:.

We have actually been given EXCLUSIVE access to the original idea cars for the new Renault 5. Sign up with Ginny as she compares the two to see if the production variation is even much better.

Re-inventing an icon is never ever a simple thing to do, however that's precisely what Renault is hoping to finish with the born-again R5. Having actually seen MINI and Fiat successfully resurrect traditional designs from the past, the French giant is betting big on its renowned supermini. It ushers in a new period of Renaults and will be followed into showrooms by a reborn Renault 4, which will also take styling cues from its well-known predecessor..

Re-inventing an icon is never a simple thing to do, however Renault has actually pulled it off with the Renault 5 E-Tech. You can't miss out on the design aspects that have actually been motivated by the original, however they have actually been upgraded with a modern-day twist. Noteworthy functions consist of the reinvention of the bonnet's vent grille is a state of charge indicator in the form of the iconic number 5, which illuminate as the chauffeur approaches – as do the pupil-shaped LED headlights that 'wink' at you..

There are 2 batteries up pick from; a 52kWh battery that provides the Renault a main WLTP series of 248 miles which will be the only option from launch, while a smaller sized 40kWh battery managing 186 miles will be joining the lineup at a later date.

The Renault 5 E-Tech comes as basic with 11 kW bi-directional charging including vehicle-to-load ability. This allows you to charge an electrical gadget – whether it's your laptop computer or an e-bike – from the 5's high voltage battery. It also suggests that the Renault supports vehicle-to-grid charging, which enables you to use the car's battery to assist balance your home energy or perhaps to feed power back into the grid and make money from it at peak times. You do require a home battery charger that can supporting this function, though; not all home wallboxes can do this even if the vehicle has the required tech..

Does the brand-new Renault 5 look like a winner to you? Let us know in the comments below.

    It looks extremely close to the concept and I like it a lot. Very excited for the next generation Twingo, which will similiarly be a throwback to the original Twingo design of the 90’s.

    Finally a small car! Some of the stats aren’t exactly revolutionary but looks like a well designed package. High up on my list to test drive for sure.

      I prefer to pay £25k and charge at 90/100kw than to pay £35k and charge at 130kw. Stats look very similar to the mini (two battery sizes and charging speed), but hopefully at least £5k cheaper and much bigger boot. Winner

      Agree that they really nailed it — the design speaks to the heart, the performance and price speak to the head. Think this will be a big success.

      Wholeheartedly agree. It’s exactly what I’ve been wanting from an EV. It also pays so much respect to the originals

    I think that it looks similar to the concept car because it is one of the few concept cars that I have seen that looks sensible.

    I think Renault dealers may need to stock up on tea and coffee for customers. There will be plenty of interest in this car……Lots of choice at the higher end of the EV market already, but this is where the market needs to be now….. This will be an absolute winner for Renault… Watch out for lots of heavily discounted new Corsa E’s…but why would you even bother, when this car vastly undercuts the Corsa E on price, and looks *way* better?

      Thinking that all the underlies are Dacia Spring …. So already tried and tested ?
      Funny how the English and Americans think that speaking easy words and gesticulating with their hands make them more intelligible to foreigners !
      The foreigners may speak english with a French accent, BUT they actually learnt English so no need to treat them as if they are stupid.

    It is good that it comes with “low power options” as this will make insurance more accessible for more people.

    Was watching the TF1 video, they were mentioning the parts are all sourced withing 300 Km reducing supply chain risks, including French made batteries, so no rule of origin tariffs when importing the UK. Renault are releasing a cheap bi directional charger with the car for V2G reducing that cost, but France and Germany planned at the moment Yes, I an a nerd… 🤓

    I think thousands of people in the UK will be happy with this little slice of nostalgia. At €25,000 it is NOT the usual Stellantis £35,000+. Finally Stellantis have some competition! A well priced 200 mile car.

      Yeah, whats up with Stellantis. They seem to think that mayching a Model 3 price for eveything is going to work?

      @mikadavies660

      @@deeyup Agreed that most of Stellantis is slightly bigger (not the Fiat), but they are all £35,000 to £45,000 for a 200 mile family hatchback. This is importantly cheaper. As long as you can manage Vauxhall Corsa sized. However, Stellantis is ICE based and adapted for EV. This is EV designed and built.

      The Citroen ec-3 will be cheaper and seems very good, but it is based on an ICE platform unfortunately.

      @mikadavies660

      @xWood4000  Indeed…. I have an E-C4 and a friend has Mokka EV. Both are based on ICE and both started around £35,000. They have both devalued by around £20,000 in just 2 years!! I think it’s because (1) Overpriced at the start (2) Technology moves and ICE based dates badly.

    They have completely nailed this. It is wonderful.

    I have now looked at a couple of other channels and the interview with designer is an exclusive which also adds to the coverage here.

    She’s done an outstanding job of translating that from a concept into something actually manufacturable. From an aerodynamic perspective that separation edge she’s talking about with regard to the tail lamps is such a simple and clever detail and also subtly references the wide-body turbo of the 80s. Also those cutom colour interiors look like they’re way more expensive than they actually cost to make, purely because its so well detailed.

    Memories, memories… I learnt to drive in a Renault 5 – with a floor mounted gear lever, no less. The standard gear lever was an umbrella handle straight through the dashboard. Now this EV surely must be a tremendous success, in my humble opinion! Well done Renault! And Thank You Ginny.

    They’ve recreated a Renault 5, with electrics! Will definitely look at it for my next car. To replace my E208. Waiting to view the driving impressions. And I’ll want yellow, too!

    My first car was a 1974 R5. The one with the gearstick coming out of the dash that you could hang things on.
    New R5… WOW. I want one … where do i Sign.
    Love the colours. The interior is just R5 .
    The Alpine will be the R5Turbo of the 70’s and 80’s. Little pocket Rocket.
    Well Done to Renault for getting this done. Exactly what the market needs.
