This is exactly the right approach to EVs, instead of ridiculously expensive and heavy SUVs. Great video Jonny.

[@gr4594]

Its still going to bee way too expensive, just another toy to show off.

[@Jamessansome]

​@@gr4594Slightly cheaper than the Zoe. It'll be popular as it's a great design, affordable (no new cars are 'cheap') and has personality.

[@Brian-om2hh]

@ Why might it be too expensive? The Ford Focus starts at £28k, and this will be a few thousands pounds cheaper. Plenty of Focuses seem to be sold, and people don't seem to feel they're way too expensive.....

[@GENX-GAMING79]

No good for a family tho

[@nomoreheroes93]

[@LeighW1973]

I'm not a huge EV fan, but I do like this. Surely this is the way the industry needs to go instead of making huge 2.5 tonne SUVs and chasing crazy 0-60 times.

[@MrQwerty3000]

The "crazy" 0-60 times are a by-product of having a big enough battery to give medium-large family sized cars a decent range. Of course fast 0-60 also sells cars and has done since before the Renault 5 GT Turbo was around

[@BkSMedia]

Renault have absolutely nailed the design, it's so refreshing to see colourful paint jobs instead of the miserable black, white and silver palette we've become accustomed too in the UK. Also huge props to Renault for giving us PHYSICAL BUTTONS for heater controls! They really are on to a winner here. Excited to see what they do with the Twingo and R4

[@danjackson5044]

It looks fantastic, completely agree, the colours add to the design and we need more of this to avoid cars becoming like white goods in the EV era. It's good to have a bit of personality and creativity.

[@che7wins614]

It needs a V6

[@skylined5534]

​@@che7wins614 While I'd love to see that I'd settle for a 4x4 twin motor giant killer version!

[@Dave5843-d9m]

195-55 is a good tyre proportion for today’s horrible roads. However I would go for the steel wheels I might even fit aftermarket steels (with exact same spec of course). They can be trashed by potholes without breaking your wallet.

[@patrickdgarez86]

As a Frenchman, it is wonderful to see French manufacturers returning to innovative, well thought out, quirky but attractive vehicle design while keeping to the cost conscious ethos that were at the foundation of so many of our cars. If this very cool "5" had been priced at $50K, it would have been a joke. As a side note, thank you Mr. Smith for always taking the extra editing time to show viewers cut away shots that allow us to visualize historical references. So many presenters speak to how design cues remind them of this or that but fail to help remind the viewer, visually. This shows incredible attention to detail and is, in part, why this channel is, finally, growing to the deserved level. My only regret about the Cinq, besides wishing that it could have an ICE, is that I, likely, won't ever get to drive it. I live in Miami and will, likely, never move back. Renault did quite well, in the US, with the Le Car (the name given to the 5) but botched it up. French arrogance, thinking that they could just keep marketing without product evolution. Peugeot was even worse when they tried to push the 405 here. Their commercials featured upper crust, tweed fancy dress, Europeans driving up pebble drive ways leading to a French castle. They were convinced that Americans would swoon over the possibility of feeling like European royalty. Was a pathetically stupid error. Sadly, they gave up and have never been back since. Sorry, I went off on a tangent but I am bitter that everyone across the pond gets to enjoy these vehicles and that I don't. =)

[@jamesellsworth9673]

I enjoyed your entire post. The view about Peugeot led me to say that I always thought of them as being a bit upmarket and good on them. As a professional-class couple, my wife and I would definitely arrive at a chateau in one. We did with rental Audi voitures. I was hoping to move from this video to checking out our local Renault dealer.

[@fastEdCanuck]

They should think about selling these in larger North American cities through the Nissan stores. I can see these being a hit on this side of the pond too if they were ever offered.

[@Oklm23]

@@fastEdCanuck I agree! I mean they do sell the Fiat 500e and the BMW i3 here, which are about the same size (the Fiat is smaller actually), and to be honest I'm sure most people would choose this instead, especially if it starts at $25k. I think French manufacturers are just afraid of failing again in the US so they don't bother trying, but selling them in Nissan stores like you mention would limit that risk considerably, I think.

[@jonevansauthor]

@@fastEdCanuck 100%. The American audience believes that they don't like compact cars. If you don't offer them compact (e.g. correctly sized) cars, they won't buy them. It's a self fulfilling prophecy. I know they've got ego problems as you can tell by their pickup sales, but part of that is encouraged by their corrupt politicians supporting those trucks with weird regulations. Almost as if they were directly bribed. Meanwhile, there's 360 million people or more, and some of those are younger, live in dense cities (real cities, with high populations, not villages and towns that call themselves cities but have 3,000 people) or care about the environment, or don't care about features they won't use such as the ability to tow a steam train at the weekend. Plus, as I understand it, Americans are just as likely to be two or three cars families as anywhere else. What rational human being wants their 16 year old in a huge vehicle with a fast engine?

[@jonevansauthor]

@@Oklm23 yes, the market for cars that are actually available to purchase and small, will always be far larger than the market for cars you don't choose to offer. The silly idea Americans only want pickups is just a lie spread by ICE advocates because the companies want the large profit margin and also are grossly incompetent on the engineering front, so can't make efficient production lines. It's nothing to do with what younger, poorer, more environmentally conscious citizens who might not even have a family that requires more seats, wants.

[@KristofferVad]

There is nobody else who makes a walk-around as interesting as you Jonny. I think it is because you are sharing your opinions and passion - there’s subjectivity but never without balance. As for the car, I love it. I love the looks, the specs, the colours (want a yellow one). But I love the old red turbo more ;)

[@Beefybaby]

As someone who was flicking through the pages of max power in the 90s, this put a smile on my face. I have to be honest, I think this car looks amazing.

[@Lot76CARS]

In an age of identical faceless Chinese SUVs that I struggle to tell apart, this is a revelation. I can put aside any EV prejudices, simply because it looks absolutely amazing inside and out. Thanks to God, Renault are back!!

[@Brian-om2hh]

After seeing this new Renault, you can immediately see that the flashy Chinese jobs lack the flair and clever, stylish design of this car..... Part of that comes from heritage, making cars for 100+ years..... The Chinese stuff has no heritage.

[@aacmove]

Fiat 500, Mini 1000, Renault 5. That's when you know car makers have run out of ideas of what a future car should look like. Even Citroen played with the idea of a modern 2CV. Toyota, Lexus looking forward, Europeans scraping the bottom of the archive barrel.

[@ChrisBWelch]

Not since the Honda E have I wanted a new car so badly! Bravo Renault on building an absolute beauty of a car. So refreshing to see such excellent colours too!

[@Emppu_T.]

Yeah the honda e was the only electric thing I was interested in. The new 5 looks in that line

[@sjosch69]

Correct.

[@MrQwerty3000]

Honda E is a gorgeous design, simple, small, stunning, crap range

[@realMaverickBuckley]

But it's a heavy, 5 door, FWD with no power. It's also electric and we're now losing tens of thousands of charging points. Too many people get swept up with that whiff of Nostalgia. If they'd made it a 3cylinder turbo hybrid , it'd be a winner.

[@rickiecheese36]

This is what EVs should be. Small, light and efficient. And reasonably priced. Not like these large, heavy and unnecessarily powerful SUVs. I love the styling. I worked in a Renault dealership in the 80s and can see the old R5 in this new one. Chapeau Renault.

[@bogotvorprvovencani]

Thing is, unless you're Mat Watson, the top speed and acceleration of an EV is incredibly useless, because most of the time you're limited to 60mph anyways

[@aacmove]

When people start to accept that 25K for a basic car is reasonably priced there is no hope left for the future of personal transport.

[@rickiecheese36]

@aacmove very true.

[@VinDieselS70]

Renault has always been a brand willing to do things differently, who doesn't remember the Fuego, the wind, R4, Vel Satis, avantime, R16 and the original Twingo? Such epic cars with their own style. I had a rental Twingo MK1 for a week when I lived in Sweden and the car made you smile and so roomy too. So I'm glad Renault are stepping up to the mark bringing back the past only Fiat so far managed to pull off. Thank you Renault and thank you for the upload 👍🏼

[@markmawson1]

A few years back when audio manufacturers started making double din radios that you could play DVD's on there was hell on saying people are going to have accidents being distracted from the road while driving (I know they were only supposed to be wired so DVD's could be played while the ignition was only in position 2 but some people never bothered so their kids could watch it through the seats) and now these days car manufacturers are making cars with screens that are taking up like ⅔rds of the length of the whole dashboard and no one bats and eye lid 😂

[@ThePedroDB]

Truth. To make matters worse, they impose laws to prevent use of a mobile phone on the move and instead insist you take your eyes off the road to adjust your heating controls, nav and Google what's-it's-interface. Bonkers....

[@foobar8894]

True, but on the plus side, it does tell Google and Renault everything you do with the car. That's something those double din radio's couldn't do.

[@superstock9261]

This is an 11/10. It has a sense of history, the interior feels human and emotive, not like many of the otherer electric cars and both inside outside design is so pretty. The yellow interior is stunning, the use of natural fabrics makes the interior feel human, not robotic. Everything about this is spot on. I really wish this was an ice car tbh but it's so good I'm willing to forget it's an Ev. I would 1000% buy one, it's such an endearing design

[@siwi666]

A baguette carrier! That is a tour de force of design. Not since the VW Beetle flower vase has there been a whimiscal touch in a car like this! Fantastique. Bravo, Renault.

[@siviter]

I would imagine that rear suspension setup has been stipulated by Alpine for their A290. More liekly to be dual motored. After more thought; it is also probably like this for the upcoming R4, which shares a platform and will likely offer 4x4.

[@KOL630]

Renault are my favourite manufacturer. Great design and not afraid to be bold. Looks brilliant. Well done guys ✌🏻

Wow, the iconic Renault 5 is back! This was my first new car years ago that my parents bought me when I graduated from college. The best and finest suspension ever seen for its class along with the most comfortable and well designed seats, makes it fun to drive. It's when I fell in love with Renault and it continues to this day. It is nice to see it with a new modern uplift but maintaining its charming essence, its sporty interior and distinctive lines that make it unmistakable to say that the Renault 5 is here

What an excellent preview. Love the styling but surprised that it doesn’t offer more range than the ZE50. Maybe like the Zoe, it will get battery upgrades with every future revision.

Brilliant design and (on paper), brilliant execution.

I like the look of it, can definitely see cues to the old 5. Nicely done

[@JasonCampbell-xb5qi]

Absolutely love it. Sections all around the r5 that remind me of my original gt5. I’m not in to ev’s not yet at least but this model is swaying me towards an ev. Think I’ll be booking a test drive when possible. Love the way it looks both outside and in side. Well done Renault

I'm getting flashbacks of UK garage coming out of twin Halfords 6x9's in the parcel shelf and a big stereo speaker in the boot instead of a sub, lol.

Great video Jonny. If I had the money I'd be really keen on getting one of these in a bright colour!

Mini SE owner here and all I can say is bravo Renault! You’ve proven a small EV can have an acceptable battery capacity. We just love our Mini for styling, supportive seats, cockpit full of honest to god physical buttons, and zippy city battle kicks, but the paltry 200km range (160ish in the dead of a Toronto winter) is less than ideal once you venture beyond the burbs. We couldn’t run this car in anything other than its status as a second vehicle. The 5 offers the complete package, although I hear sadly not available in Canada or US?

I own a Zoe currently and my first car was a Renault 5, so I’m very interested to see the new R5 in the metal. The idea of a twin motor RS is really exciting.
