FIRST LOOK - Renault 5 is Reborn - Renault actually made the Concept Car ! | 4K

I was invited to Renault in Paris for an exclusive preview of the all new Renault 5. The Renault 5 is reborn and they have actually made the concept car that we first saw 12-18 months ago. In this video I get the opportunity to show you around the production ready car ahead of it's global debut. A very interesting car for Renault that's for sure.

This has infinitely more charm than any anonymous Chinese offering. Renault going after emotional appeal is a clever strategy.

[@PetrolPed]

👍

[@PlatinumNath]

Renault every once in a while does that. If they didn't, they wouldn't have made the Twingo, or the Clio V6

[@dominicrusho]

@@PlatinumNath …and as such it’s great to see the Twingo is due a revival in the near future too!

[@mystisith3984]

Exactly. When you look at the younger generations, they enjoy the ol' timers & everyone is so fed up with boring clonic SUVs... Also, realistically, the middle class is shrinking everywhere: 80K for a new vehicle that will be obsolete 8 years later is just not financially acceptable. Back to healthy basics + personality.

[@jamiep61]

Thank you for Filming the Video, a Car I’m very excited about 😊

So nice to see that colours are coming back in fashion. I am so sick to death of Black, Grey and Silver cars

[@Brian-om2hh]

This will be a winner for Renault. EV's at the less costly end of the market are what is needed now.

[@FL-ym6hm]

Over here in North America all they want to sell are big expensive EV’s. I just think that is the wrong approach. $100,000.00 for a big pickup truck that really can’t tow isn’t going to get people in EV’s.

[@kiae-nirodiariesencore4270]

Indeed..and what with the Citroen e-C3 getting into showrooms here in France now at €23,000..that's another more affordable EV

[@PeterKirton-nu9iv]

For me it does not matter how cheap EV’s become until the infrastructure is sorted out so that charging becomes as easy and convenient as filling up with liquid I would not consider buying one.

[@kiae-nirodiariesencore4270]

@irton-nu9iv I've owned an EV for 5 years, it's our only car. In the first couple of years it was 'touch and go' a few times on long hauls to find a rapid charger but in the past 2 years it has been so easy that I hardly bother using the app to plan the journey. We live in rural France, the Poitou-Charente so the nearest towns of any size are 60 km away. We've done 4 trips to UK, one to Germany, two to Switzerland and one to Spain, never had any problems using public chargers and never had to wait to get onto a charger. It seems to me that people who suffer from 'range anxiety' and worry about finding a charger are people who don't own EVs!...I would never go back to hand over my hard earned cash to the oil billionaires and handling a dirty, smelly pump.

[@JonathanPalfrey]

@@PeterKirton-nu9iv Its funny after 4 years of EV ownership the idea of having to go to a petrol station feels so convoluted and inconvenient. We do need to see at least one or two rapid hubs in each town for those that can't charge at home, obviously place is at the supermarket so you can charge up for the week while you do your weekly shop.

[@neilbarden9430]

What a fantastic looking thing, well done Renault. So much more appealing than what MINI are doing now, and the first EV I might actually want.

There are loads of videos on the Renault today, but yours is by far the best, principally due to your obvious passion for it. I’m a similar age and was brought up in the world of 205/Golf Gti’s etc and do miss them. This one has gone right to the top of my next company car list (although not sure the wife will want the yellow one!).

[@PetrolPed]

Thank you 🙏🏻 The global embargo dropped at 0900 UK time that’s why 👍

[@beltrangarrote1982]

Can you imagine Peugeot (or whatever is called nowadays) doing a new 205 like this R5? 😱

[@ISuperTed]

@@beltrangarrote1982 Yeah, but Stellantis would charge £45k for it!

[@StephenBaysted]

This looks brilliant - especially in yellow. My dad had a GT Turbo in 1986, fantastic fun. I got to drive it sometimes when I was 18/19 before he sold it.

[@willyrose]

Renault 5 GT Turbo was peak hot hatch. I had XR3i and 205 GTi at the same time and the 5 was by far the best. The new 5 Electric may not be so hot but what a tribute. I'm in!

Renault has made a game-changer that will smash their competition.... and the competition are so dumb they will be just bewildered.

[@rayclarke5367]

Retro design can be tricky. The VW Beetle for instance, pretty in it's own way, but just not cool. This R5 though, wow, absolutely nailed it..! As others have already said, "I want one". 😋

Way better to buy the Renault 5 than the Dacia Spring.

[@dj_paultuk7052]

Back when i was a teenager (a very very long time ago lol) i remember getting a lift off a guy with a 1981 Gordini Turbo. Its stuck with me all these years because in the 80's it was a rocketship. It got the bug for Renault at that point and went on to own a Feugo GTX, 30 TX, and the daddy of them all, a GTA V6 Turbo.

[@PetrolPed]

Nice 👌

[@cotswoldphotographers]

Pete I love it 😍 I’m a little bit older than you but it’s truly iconic and will always remember the first car I ever hired on holiday in Spain which was a knackered 1980’s 5! So much fun and so many fond memories. Love our mini electric but this for me is as iconic and I’d buy one ❤

[@PetrolPed]

Right on!

[@cunawarit]

I remember very very clearly how cars like Renault 5s and Fiat Unos felt, they were basically super thin metal and small bits of plastic with engines about the size of a shoebox, and tyres as big as a doughnut. It's almost surprising they weigh as much as 800kg :)

[@guy3point14]

My first ever new car was an H reg Renault 5 Campus 1.1. It was cool in a 4 speed, not even a cassette player kind of way. On balance, I think this new reincarnation is actually cooler though. The big question is - will they have a cassette player..??

Having had the pleasure of selling the original Renault 5s from launch and then after I left Renault bought and enjoyed a new 5 Gordini, this new 5 brings back wonderful memories. Renault have “smashed” it. Best EV styling I’ve seen.

[@barryrathbone]

The 1972 original with the umbrella gear lever is just so pure and perfect to me. Still looks modern and yes there is a very passing resemblance between it and the new ev. I have to say I’m extremely impressed. It would be even more lovely to be as soft as the original

It’s the right size for an EV, the current trend of humongous SUV EVs is just ridiculous. EVs are perfect city cars or short commute cars, this has all the signs that this is what they’ll be. Kudos to Renault for keeping true to the original concept as much as possible.👌

Yes fresh and exciting design ,it would be great if they had a small tuned petrol engined version which has been brushed over by Alpine,unfortunately we know that will never happen, but I think there is an opportunity missed as not everyone is ready for electric !

Designed from the ground up as an EV so has benefits not possible if there was an ICE version.

[@bikesfrench8524]

Il y a des concessionnaires Renault partout en Europe donc pour l entretien de la voiture et les pièces seront accessibles donc un avantage puisque la taxe carbone sera imposé sur les véhicules électriques chinois ou japonais qui viennent en Europe car le coût du transport qui vient d Asie produit du co2 donc en France cette lois sera appliqué 😅

We too have a soft spot for the Renault 5, it was my wife's first car, a kingfisher blue example circa late '70's/early '80's. Sadly I don't think we'll ever go electric as I've been quoted between £10,000 and £15,000 to install a charger on our drive, which includes digging up a major part of our garden to get the cable there.

[@PetrolPed]

What ?! I don’t understand that. It’s normally around £1000 all in. A 3 phase AC or DC charger might be 15 grand 🧐🤷‍♂️

[@trevorcrook2565]

Fabulous! My first reasonably new car was in 1977, it was a 1974 5TL that looked like the first car in the video, but it was the colour of the production electric version. Depending on price, I WANT ONE! Probably wait till they've been out a year or so, then try to snap up a used bargain.

Going to be around £25k 👍

I like it! I admit, being ancient, I love the early R5's and was impressed with the 1.1l Renault 'tin thing' (no idea) I bought for _one hundred pounds_ but front-wheel bearings were insanely large, and hard to replace ...then I gave it to a mate. I miss it.

She would have been wonderful in a video at Goodwood with you in something fast and would have been well up with most drivers as she had never been slow…and never was.
