      the French let their girlfriends to hold their baguettes:) It's the second EV which I find good looking, first one was the Honda e for me too. the car is a bit too overstiled though. Not sure why they couldn't just go for the simple retro design underneath all those plastic bits and logos. In 10 years it would still look fresh but then all the french cars are designed like this. It s like trying a bit too hard. Anyway if prices are good this could be a success while the Honda e failed given the high price and low autonomy.

    Cars are an emotional thing for many people, even if it is a rational purchase. An iconic people's car of old, reinvented for modern times as an EV, bridges generations. If other manufacturers do more of this, it will definitely make it easier for older buyers, especially enthusiasts, to make the switch. It helps that the new car has decent range and charging, good weight, at a (potentially) very good price. Hats off to Renault for sure.

      We don’t need EV’s as long as they can’t drive atleast 600-700km on single charge in any price category, size etc. just as ICE cars… and that is just as in -30C or +30C without dropping half of range… Battery won’t loose its capacity (it is reported that in 5-8 years it can loose 50-60% of the capacity) and the battery pack replacement is astronomical (15k€ in Europe for Tesla, 5000€ for Toyota Prius Hybrid, but atleast it has petrol engine and you can continue driving it)…The same goes for charging when they will charge in 15min or less to full charge… and maybe then people will consider EV’s… it isn’t the looks or something, it is those problems I stated why people don’t buy the EV’s as much… Volvo reported that making EV’s is worse than making ICE cars when it comes CO2. Toyota reported that in 2023 their sales of EV’s wasn’t even 1% worldwide… Also in my opinion the whole battery industry should change as the Lithium batteries is very old technology, lithium is toxic, hard to get etc. We need to invent battery that could last longer than Lithium one and maybe then the EV’s would be worth considering. In my opinion hybrid, hydrogen cars as the future for next 30 years, not EV’s….

      Energy density of batteries has to increase massively to cut weight.
      Batteries up to 600 Wh/Kg. (at optimal temperature)
      Diesel and patrol up to 12.000 Wh/Kg.

      ​@@webagent90 If you read that Volvo claim you made beyond the headline, you can see that that's only in production, and CO2 emissions are way less over time. About Toyota; they made a terrible EV nobody wants. Of course it's not going to sell. Toyota is also actively lobbying against EV's. It's in their interest to block progress on electric vehicles.

      @@webagent90 Oh of course, as much as EVs have developed over the past 10 years, they’re far from perfect and there’s a long way to go before EV can really be as environmentally friendly as they can be. I also agree that manufacturers shouldn’t discount hybrids, because they are a good middle ground for now. I’m not sure about hydrogen because extraction requires so much energy, you might as well use that electricity to power an EV. I personally EVs have their place, as short-range commuting tools, the Renault 5 looks to do that very well while looking very cool.

    Honestly that's the first electric car that appeals to me and yes its likely the nostalgia as a 50 year old having owned and loved the quirks of many mk2's in the 80's and 90's. I applaud where Renault is going with this one and look forward to seeing one at the dealership.

    My first car was an R5, and I became completely insane about these little fellas. Started with a very humble R5 1.3L basic TL and evolved to a 1.4L TX Mirage back in México where I am from. This new electric R5e gave me the goosebumps at how sane, affordable and fully wholesome sensible vehicles with a soul can re-spark the long lost forgotten desire to own a practical, everyday economy car that can reconnect you with your everyday needs without resorting to a scooter, a bicycle or a monstrous SUV. Simple and cute is my motto, and hats off to Renault for delivering back my dream car! Now... If I only could buy it here in California... hmmmm

    It's a legit masterpiece design wise & there's going to be a lot of variations (+ upgrades overtime). For us city Europeans we don't need more range. Who drives more than 800 kms in one day? Probably only 50% of the drivers, once a year for summer vacation. So gimme cheap & basic, that's good enough.

Y después juegan con esa nostálgica del pasado.....por lo que comvierte en un producto pasional y racional.....esa es la clave.
    Ánimo al resto de marcas a sacar en versiones eléctricas un Lancia Delta Integrale, un Astra Gsi 16V, Golf gti 2, Ford cosword.....hasta incluso el primer bmw m3.
    El ejemplo es claro con el fiat 500 y el mini....que después de años y evoluciones se continúan vendiendo como churros.

    I want to hate it because it's an EV but honestly I kinda like it. Hats of to Renault designer, it looks like they managed to capture the spirit of Renault 5 and the range doesn't sound too bad for a small EV. Renault seems to be the only French brand that cherishes their past and still knows how to make a car with a soul.

    It's too bad that we'll never see this in the US.. It's perfect for a large percentage of the driving we do.
    Of course, we'd hate it and not buy any, but that's because we're kinda dumb. We can't help it. It's what we do.

    *THIS* is what the EV makers should have aimed for in the first place. Finally, we have an actually practical EV for far more drivers.
    It will be interesting to see what Honda has up their sleeve when the replacement for the current GR/GS generation model (which is not sold in the USA) is unveiled probably within the next 12-24 months. If the new Fit is an EV that goes this route with a range of about 240-250 miles and the ability to charge from a SAE J3400 or IEC 62196 Type 2 connector for DC charging from 10 to 80% in under 12 minutes, they have a huge winner right there.

      Audi did it on the A and Q series and it's created the best looking interior I've seen a while. Or better still like the R8 and just give the driver the screen in the instruments.

      @ThePedroDB 10 месяцев назад +1

      In this case it's trying to recreate the vibe of the Mk.1 R5 dash. Canting the main touch screen toward the driver and having (hopefully, functional) voice control is well considered design

    Only real sence I can speak is it's good to see a car making it in a more concept form into production and some great colours available as allot of other reviewers have already made a better point of. Even Johnny from the late break show got that point across better. Cool colours.
