Hey Mat you should review EVs from Tata Land Rover specially Tata Land Rover Tiago ev if you are looking for best VFM EV you can get this as low as 9000 GBP brand new and it comes with above 4 star safety rating in Global NCAP. Have a good day.

[@AM562]

That car looks beautiful, but the backseats are completely useless for anyone unless they’re extremely small or wanna gain claustrophobia. Also, what’s with the baguette holder ? That doesn’t seem very useful for anyone outside of France but I could be wrong on that I just know I would have no use for that. I think they should just turn it into 2 seater car because there’s no front trunk so to help with storage like groceries and with the backseats being so useless if you find if you could fold them flat to kind of use us an overnight bed if you had to stay somewhere for the backseats, but besides that they’re useless

Car rental company Hertz recently announced that it is selling 20,000 EVs, about one-third of the company's electric vehicle fleet. According to reporting from Bloomberg, Hertz has decided to cut back on EV rental cars because of high repair costs and weak demand from its customers. This announcement was somewhat surprising to industry analysts, because Hertz had previously made big EV purchasing deals with electric vehicle makers like Tesla and Polestar. But if a major rental car company like Hertz is seeing slow demand (and high costs) for electric vehicles, this could be a sign of additional trouble for EV owners. After all, if a big rental car company can't afford the repair costs of EVs, what hope is there for the easily led who have to pay for EV car insurance and other EV maintenance costs?

It’s gonna be an absolute hit. I hope Renault anticipates it so it does not happen like with the Suzuki Jimny.

Renault have done a great job with this. Colours look fabulous (stand out against a sea of GT Silver:) Price, range and weight are pretty good. Think it could be a sales smash hit.

Starting price of £22,000 for the basic model in the UK. _And people wonder why EV sales are dropping!_ And if Renault wanted to hark back to the old 5 having square headlights, then why not fit square headlights?

Really appreciate the comparison matrix - thank you!

Fun and informative video! Keep it up! Love the joking around and not being too uptight like so many other vids.

Genuinely the first electric car, I actually really like, a lot. Like one I want! Well done Renault.

Rwd with a nice frunck would be a HUGE seller anywhere in the world. Also, a hatchback style.
