Mark, Renault have 'smashed it!'. Almost like the concept and yet so retro and desirable. Yes desirable! Something you could never apply to a Tesla or Kia and so on. So clever and chic. What's not to like? The Megane E is one of the best looking and snesible EVs available. And now the 5! Wow! Just so clever! So French! Will give the Mini Electric a run for it's money. Fantastic! And yes i do [just] remember the original 5 and this is a real homage to it. Thank you.

[@martidonegal1]

Absolutely love this. ❤️ this is what electric cars should be first not a three ton suv.

[@megane230f1]

first time a concept has actually turned out to be the production car, lovely looking car

[@nathycoleman5494]

Back to the good old days ...looks great and if the price is right it will be competition for the Mini.😊

[@dontpanicblink]

good ld days are petrol manual not electric rubbish

[@vapsa56]

I can only wish the R5 will come to the United States. When I was stationed in Europe during the 80's, I had an R5. Love it.

[@brendanjburns2969]

Great to see the new 5 back an ideal city car 😊

[@tenaciousrodent6251]

I'm 45 years old today and when i think of our Renauld 5 i think of the beach, theme parks, the zoo and visiting my grandparents...still so full of energy...and alive...nothing but the best possible memories... That they bring it back from oblivion today and with those fun colors on top of it...NGL: It's pure marketing genius.

[@colinrenfrew48]

Looks bloody amazing. I’ll have a green one.

[@YannR34]

Oh my god you are so Irish. 😄 Renault needs to make a four leaf clover holder just for the Irish market. Or a Four leaf clover thing for the personnalisation of the gear switch. They would sell tons of it in Ireland. 😉 With the mention on it " Because we love you... But this is the only not Five thing that you will find in this car".

[@user-vi7jl2gc8u]

Scotsman, actually.@@YannR34

[@xchopp]

I had a bright red 1976 R5 GTL. It was fantastic! Good job, Renault!

[@columcreaven8860]

Great review, this is what the market needs, I am sure the government will add an EV Tax to make it unaffordable.

[@brendandevoy8178]

Looks amazing. It will be €30000 at least . It’s screaming for a turbo version with 200 bhp . Porsche used the turbo name with the electric taycan , when it obviously hasn’t got a turbo why can’t Renault . Great job as always mark

[@Hell-Hound1]

Alpine have a hot version coming soon.

[@YannR34]

It will be the Alpine A290 coming a bit later.

[@rockbun3985]

The baguette holder. In ireland we will call it the breakfast roll holder.😂 Great video, cars not to bad. ❤❤

[@miguelmelchior986]

Umbrella holder up there..

[@PixelVibe42]

Excellent review, thank you! Brilliant memories of driving my dad's Turbo 5 on the back roads around Lucan and Leixlip - happy times!

[@chrisgavin]

I think that's quite a nice looking car.

[@enyaq_gorm]

take my money now! :)

[@jasonlegg3191]

So glad you’re highlighting the lack of 22kW onboard charging… it’s a must have… if it’s only going to be 11kW to brag it’s got bidirectional… then give 22kW and not have bidirectional

[@daniilrusanau5849]

Very informative, thanks a mil!

[@James-ui6wh]

Back in the early 1980s the original 5 was badged and marketed as the Le Car in the North American market. It's a shame Renault exited the U.S. market.

[@Silver-st2zq]

Looks great 👍

[@davidrogers4769]

My Neighbour had the original turbo when I was a teenager. Gave me a lift 1 day . My God did it fly

[@DerCoo33]

Top video well done, looks a great car

[@NobbyOnCars]

Thanks 👍

[@djdm2000]

Looks amazing

[@joeo8919]

Looks great. Would appeal even more if they brought back some of the original paint colours like “Olympe Blue”.

[@BillsCountrysideAdventures]

Really like it and as a young lad loved the r5 turbo. But I was annoyed at them not doing same car for right hand with the megane electric. French do not like us, its in history they never liked us.

[@toyotaprius79]

Those massive rims screams €30,000

[@hemusbull]

First of all, R5 reminds me the story of revitalizing of Fiat 500 and Mini. May be simply because is the last in time, but Renault 5 is the best iteration of my memories... And second, I dream one day to see Sitroen DS!

[@vdub8567]

That car will sell well in ireland ,great video nobb

[@bwarey52]

Needs to mirror MG4 pricing and it will sell well but if it's starting over 30k it will struggle

[@o0alias0o]

It starts at 25,000

[@anthonybrown4874]

Looks pretty damn cool Nobby but the devil's in the detail, with the Chinese coming wanting to dump their production over capacity in to European markets, needs to be mid £20k at most and they have copied my swifts door handle. That rear seat foot space is concerning though with the packaging advantages available on clean sheet EV designs internal space should be generous.

[@michaeldoherty4221]

Had a 1.7 Gtx. Burgundy Red F528GNF. Bought 30 years ago. Should have kept it. I bought from a 1 lady owner.... 😢 Gutted I sold it.

[@leifandersen2756]

I thought that we had got rid of all this retro madness long ago like pt cruiser,Volkswagen Beetle etc,etc ! All in hope to make more money on retro costumers !

[@YannR34]

They couldn't make the more original wheel, because they made the car Retro futurist, having a more original would have been more vintage than inspired by.

[@Watson1973]

Great looking car Hopefully it’s fun to drive and not like the Cupra Born that looks cool but reviews are lukewarm on its driving

[@YannR34]

I'm sure it will be fun, they even put a multi-link suspension.

[@Hell-Hound1]

Give over Nobby, 150bhp is more than ample in a small car. The Alpine will be along soon for all your power tripping needs though.

[@NobbyOnCars]

Power to weight…

[@Hell-Hound1]

@@NobbyOnCars it's light. Fun was had with far less power in the olden days.

[@JAY61ish]

Can we have a v6 turbo version please... ha ha ..

[@Oldladysgin]

Looks good but old fashioned me thinks 30k for a small car is far too much. Yes, 150bhp is plenty. You don´t need excessive BHP to have ´fun´you need poise and balanced handling eg MX5. It´s good work for Renault, very good and it will do well other than heavy depreciation and the price, again, is too high. Thank you

[@mlann2333]

Ha, the Reno character reminds me of the paperclip guy in old MS Word, he'll get annoying fast 😅

[@kimmohamalainen3390]

🥰🥰🥰

[@simonpaine2347]

Honda should redo the Jazz as an EV.

[@NobbyOnCars]

Good idea

[@stuartmchugh1754]

Assuming it’s €10k more than the Dacia spring. Clearly it’s a more premium car but will people pay €10k extra for a Renault versus Dacia?

[@NobbyOnCars]

I think people who get the throwback ethos of it surely will but it needs to be a mass seller

[@mystisith3984]

2 different markets. I love Dacia because they sell cheap faithful mules that can go intercity (it's the unofficial car for retired folks here in France). This E R5 otoh will interest car enthusiast younger demographics (including those who are fans of old timers) & mostly city folks (big majority of people nowadays) who will prefer to take the plane or the train for long travels.

[@elgriego74]

All my Renaulyt cars have had electrical problems. They drove amazingly and the grip was always amazing but to buy an Electric Car from Renault? It is like going out looking for trouble!

[@Bodzio1982]

This tiny car will be just over €30k in Ireland. Looks amazing but if the quality will be the same as Zoe then not impressive.

[@YannR34]

Renault has made a big jump since the Megane, this is the new way they take.

[@kyliefan7]

Instead of loosing market share in the US Nissan should be bringing these over to sell here!! What is the point of this alliance if they all just hate each other? Seems silly!

[@stevemartindale4446]

Baguette holder ho hum. A Donor kebab pocket would make the car irresistible.

[@NobbyOnCars]

Too messy to eat in a car 🤯

[@tibchy144]

This beautiful car has a massive flaw. It's front wheel drive. I mean WTF..

[@MrCBiologyIreland]

Looks great but the Volvo EX30 got an extra €7000 added on. So this will be €32000 for entry, up to €40000 for highest I reckon. I’d love to know if it’s the Irish adding that or the French? Is it for tax or just greed/market fixing? Anyone know?

[@HIOP0]

Do tell, what is it with you that power output is the single most important feature of what is a small, budget oriented family car?. Have you forgotten, did you even know (?) that Alpine have already announced their version of this car, which if your proclivities are not sated with the 5, should be in due course. Be honest, if you are capable, if it wasn't the power output or the charging rate capability you whinged about, it would be something else. This car is clearly built to a price and right minded buyers will understand that via test drives and showroom visits, even if you do not.

[@NobbyOnCars]

That's me told. Patronising much?!

[@HIOP0]

@@NobbyOnCars Welcome, anytime 🙂

[@simonpaine2347]

For the life of me, I dont understand why all EV'S don't have the charging port in the front of the car! Drive into the bay, its right in front of you and more importantly there's no cables dangerously hangings around between the cars, waiting to be tripped over!

[@NobbyOnCars]

More damage from a potential crash to the unit though

[@simonpaine2347]

@@NobbyOnCars true, but perhaps it can be incorporated into the crumple zone. Some manufacturers already do it, so presumably they've already made it safe.....hopefully!

[@michaelkilbride2927]

Bring back the Renault 5 turbo not a washing machine that looks like a car no thanks

[@Quagmire925]

Great car for young girls. Very feminine!

[@o0alias0o]

Not quite. I think it is very gender neutral. Id love the car in a deep pink, i want feminine. That will appeal to me as a gay man

[@Quagmire925]

Good for you. 👍

[@lorenzoharrison3615]

Will it make your manhood look smaller

[@YannR34]

@@o0alias0o 👍 Don't forget the rainbow design on the roof, and the Unicorn on the dashboard. 😁 Man this car is sexy. I love it in Yellow. With those wonderful seats. Look at those shoulders... It's a man for sure.

[@o0alias0o]

@@YannR34The car is giving a short strong muscular man bursting with testosterone. If people say it is feminine is that just because it is a small car? Because a fiat 500 is incredibly more feminine than this…

[@lightcamera2521]

Renault USED to be an exciting car manufacturer. Great retro design BUT all show and no go!!!

[@miguelmelchior986]

Now thats just absurd. Clio for example is a a work of art on design for a compact car, and those were awful 20/25 years ago.. Renault has Alpine that is really a work of art. Most cars are beautiful with exelent and original interiors..

[@davidspencer7254]

Its such a bland interior compared to the striking exterior.

[@NobbyOnCars]

There was a yellow one on display which had much funkier seats/interior.

[@YannR34]

@@NobbyOnCars Oh yeah the Yellow one is so good. Feels so much premium, they got the style.

[@stevemccormack9948]

Nice car but does not look like Renault 5. Also, it's way to big. Such corporate bullshit

[@tonyb3629]

Shame Renault ruined it by making it electric. If only they'd have put a little 1.6l turbo petrol in it to give this car a 'soul', that would have made all the difference.

[@YannR34]

You will have to make yourself a reason. Ice cars are gonna be old soon. We are right at a technology change. Since we discovered electricity it had took its time. Others applications will follow in the future and then combustion will be obsolete for good everywhere.
