Takes me back, my sister Fran (who passed away in 2018 of cancer, I was incredibly close to her) her first car when she passed her test was a yellow Renault 5 TL. She absolutely loved it (as did I) we went everywhere in that car! We nicknamed him (yes him) the Yellow Peril, but actually he never put a wheel wrong! Great little car. Seeing the new R5 in yellow, really puts a smile on my face, and I'd have loved to see what Fran would think. She was heartbroken when she had to scrap the Yellow Peril, and despite becoming a General Practitioner, and owning a Jaguar XF, she ALWAYS had a soft spot for her Renault 5, as it represented getting freedom as her first car. I was thrilled when Renault chose yellow as the concept colour, it was almost like Yellow Peril had been resurrected, and to me, it's a great colour for the R5. When I showed my other sister, Mo, the concept R5 in yellow, she immediately agreed it was the new Yellow Peril! I'm sure Fran would love it, she'd have probably bought one!
I am sorry for your loss. It must be nice to share these thoughts about the 5 and your sister with Mo. Thinking of the days life was open and full of promise. Glad to hear your sister had a good life and meant something for others as a GP. Ok. I am rambling on, thinking of my own youth, but life went by in a blink of the eye. I used to have a R4. Equal fun and fond memories. Anyway. Your story reminded of the loss of the love of my life.
@@ai-d2121 thank you so much for your kind words. I absolutely adored my sister Fran, we were so close we were like twins! We loved the same films, music etc. The Yellow Peril was everything to her (and me), Seeing the new R5 in yellow brought every great memory back. Going shopping, cinema, concerts, parties, that little car enabled freedom. Fran broke down in tears when Yellow Peril went, driving away on a low loader with the cheeky face looking at us. Don't be sorry for rambling, it's lovely to share stories. The R4 and R5, such cheeky scamps of cars! There was just that something about them, and thank god Renault have re-introduced them. I still think of my first car too, I had an Alfa Romeo Alfasud Ti Cloverleaf in black, I bought in an auction not long after I passed my test. I didn't go out to get an Alfa, but it came up and I got it at an absolutely great price, and, considering Alfas got a bad reputation, mine was absolutely superb! Dad brought a mechanic friend along with us, and even he said it was an excellent car, which was very well maintained, and had also had a rust prevention treatment by the previous owner. I had it for years. I never once had a major issue, just little stuff. Our drive looked good back then, Mum and Dad's Audi 100 (bought in a fleet auction) in blue, Fran's Renault 5 in yellow and my Alfasud in black. We weren't rich or anything, our cars weren't bought new, but we kept them nice, tidy and clean, it looked kind of cool, very european. I drive a nice car now, an Hyundai Ioniq 5, but I have fond memories of my Alfasud, Alfa needs to reintroduce it as an EV. I loved my car like Fran loved Yellow Peril, I remember calling my car Alf. My god, one car can bring back family memories! My parents and Fran are no longer here, but one little car was the spark....just shows.
Funny how things bring back memories of our loved ones. Loosing a person you love creates a hole in your life. Best you can do is fill these with memories and the love that is still there. Stay strong and surround yourself with your loved ones. Also the new R5 is a great looker!

Seeing all the issues my dad's new Kona has with speed limit sign recognition (such as not recognising that he's turned off a limited road and onto a national speed limit road) and how much the lane assist struggles on countryside roads with deteriorated or absent lines on the road, I do not like this whole assistant mania that the EU has come out with lately...
My Fiat 500e ignores everything besides speed limit signs and shows the last one he detected on the dashboard. The sign ending a speed limit is interpreted as end of all limitations, i.E. gloves off and pedal to the metal and don't mind the city limits.
It needs to be improved but yeah of course you should disable lane assist on bad roads, that's pretty much common sense. It's needs improvements but it will still save lives. The speed limit recognition is really a soft measure but still a good one, it helps when you lack attention to the road (happens to everyone).
@@albinklein7680 Your losses I guess, wishing you to never have a loss of consciousness/feeling sick/falling asleep behind the wheel. There was a time where people couldn't stand seat belts as well but you see that it's past history now, the world changes, old habits dies.
@@manu.yt25There's a difference in between seat belts (something that's actually there for sake of YOUR safety) and something that actually tried to killed me in a borrowed car (lane assist sent me an introduction into another car, yikes). Not to mention a brake assist going crazy after going through a bump. In case you're wondering - that was a 2021 Skoda Scala, quite a nice commuter otherwise. Yay, that's the future as things are getting more and more unfinished onto the market. That was the moment I decided that I want to stick to my old crap boxes - they do not attempt to kill me. I don't mind people having different opinion. Sure there were (and will be) various cases of these assists being saviours in many situations, so they are a danger to a certain extent as they're as flawless as programming and our technological limitations can get.
@@dlevi67 of course, I can't plug in as there isn't any parking on the nearside of the road. This presents another problem. With respect, I don't think electricity is the way forward as the sole propulsion for vehicles. Furthermore carbon neutral living is an impossibility if we wish to live the comfort we've become accustomed to, we're always going to leave a footprint.
It is nice to look at. As another American, I find exhausting the European penchant for making and obeying fun-killing laws. Leashes disguised as features anger me. I guess it's foolish in this day and age to hope a car can just be simple, fun, and not engineered within an inch of its life.
@@cisium1184 I mean, I still row my own gears, which means I can't text and drive, and being distracted is much more difficult, and in 19 years of driving I have yet to cause or be in an accident. Odd, that. Also, my manual has all the cool things like "eco mode" when the tachometer needle is down low, and "sport mode" when the needle gets a bit more...stimulated. 😉
@@cisium1184 Europe is leading the way in safety.... in the past crash tests and seatbelts were considered "fun-killing" but got widely adopted now. I think past the novelty you will be happy to have a car who can recognize if you passed out/felt asleep behind the wheel... having myself already been in an accident after falling asleep for just a second on the highway, I can now feel how those equipment car be life saving. And for other stuff like overspeed sounds, well it's a very small annoyance but doesn't restrict you that much, car lobbysts did a wonderful job again in reality, you can compare to what others mean of transportation with a less strong industry and lobby was quickly limited to, like for example ebikes and escooters who are limited to 25 from the factory and having you to risk huge fines if you change that limitation. Compared to that limiting cars to 150 is really a very soft measure but still a good start...
@@manu.yt25 That limit to 150 is ridiculous. You won't be seeing that car on the road in the Balkan, since we love to speed over 200 km/h here without seatbelts in an old Golf or BMW from the 90s/2000s.
I wish that we would get out of this trend of making cars larger. Especially wider. Driving on roads with cars parked both sides is so much harder with wider cars. We would have a lot less congestion if we didn't have to keep stopping to give way to oncoming traffic all the time. And I keep saying that electric is not the answer if we are using the same amount or more energy. We are just moving the pollution. We need to go smaller, lighter, less material intensive, and more energy efficient.
It's practical to limit top speed of EVs for three reasons: 1) you can fix a short gear ratio for improved acceleration at low speed 2) range falls staggeringly quickly with increased speed. At 130 km/h you get one fourth of the range you get at 90, sheer aerodynamics 3) It's easier to design cooling of electronics and motor if you limit the total *continuous* power.
@@enisra_bowmanlower gearing is still better there Faster to get to overtaking speed Even the legal limit of 130 is way above what most lorries are doing
@@zjanez2868 ever siting on a 2-lane Motorway behind 2 Lorrys side by side trying to overtake? I take that as a no when i have to explain a situation that i thought would be a SIMPLE example: It takes ages when they do it because one drives by the other with 1 or less km/h difference
Renault has always managed to spice up the car scene with something spectacular, innovative, mad, and sometimes cute too. 4, 5, Espace, Fuego, 25 Baccara, Twingo, Clio, Avantime, Twizy. Brilliant car company.
Despite being an ICE lover, I really WANT the new R5, Renault just did everything so right, and the interior is amazing looking. If there's one ev I could ever want, it'll be this! However, paying 30k+ for a car with very little range won't interest me, so we'll see how good it's range and consumption shall be
They're just starting production and are flooded with orders, wait 2025-2026 to start seeing some discounts on it, but yeah indeed the price is quite steep.
I own a 1994 Super 5, and I have to admit this new 5 peaked my interest. This and the Honda E are my favorite new EVs now, I'd love to get one if I was getting a new car.
Easily one of the most endearing electric car designs to date; not to mention it actually does the original Renault 5 justice and the interior is fantastic. Proof that electric car designs inside and out don't have to be boring. A lot of Fords electric dashes just look plain in comparison with the Ipad glued in the middle effect. It's a real pity too as the latest 5th Gen Mondeo that's exclusive to the Chinese Market and Middle East actually has a surprisingly decent dash; certainly better than the Mach-E's and the so called Capri's. I know the 5th Gen mondeo isn't really electric but still no reason Ford couldn't do something more inspiring with their electric dash designs. Don't know why Ford didn't give those cars that sort of Dash. I admit that the Mach-E is actually not a bad looking car externally but a nicer dash wouldn't have went amiss or actually bringing the 5th Gen Mondeo to the UK but of course it probably wouldn't sell well enough.
ebikes and escooters are limited to 25 kph from the factory, limiting a car to 150 kph given the risk especially for other people is common sense to me.
I grew up in Northern France and we never drank tap water. It was Vittel all the way. I live in the US and I can't find Vittel anywhere! And Evian is not as good.
Why is KIA still allowed to call their car Sorento, and Ford/VW allowed to call their upcoming car Capri, and Alfa is not allowed to call their car Milano. Stelantis should take the Italian government to court for discrimination and double standards.
Renault really really REALLY wants this to sold well, with the amount of ads and the generated hype they try to make. And that's pretty understandable, seeing what's happening with the new Fiat 500
I think this will sell extremely well and yes Renault certainly need it to do so. In terms of design they have pulled off the same feat as BMW did with their Mini, updating but strongly referencing the original. The only issues might be with the price - £24k would have been great 2 years ago but there's a lot of Chinese imports now - and the range. I don't think the speed will prove to be too much of a deterrent ultimately
An electric 5 "Turbo" makes perfect sense. You can put a huge battery and powerful electric motor in the back. If you want, put another motor in the front and make it 4wd. Hyundai has shown that an EV hot hatch can be great fun.
@@marcogentile3392 Well, not quite. The Alpine still has 5 doors and rear seats. With the Turbo, those rear seats would be deleted, giving ample space for a much larger battery and motor than the Alpine has. And the means to cool it.
I think the point is that the name "Turbo" makes no sense on an electric car, because there's no exhaust gas to drive a turbine, and forcing extra air into an electric motor wouldn't make it go any faster anyway.
It isn't just EVs, it's all new cars. Most of the safety nannies are either mandatory (though EU and North America have differing requirements), or necessary in order to achieve top safety ratings.
@@TerryHickey-xt4mfReliability of new cars is also terrible. Even if it doesn't break down a lot, it's about 1/4 of mileage 90s cars could do without overhaul.
I was really excited about this car, right up to the point where you said it's an EV. If Renault had equipped it with a 1.2 litre petrol engine, ditched the tech, and sold it for £15k, it would fly out the door. As it is, it'll be like every other EV on the market; a sales disaster. Shame, because it looks absolutely fantastic.
the new r5 is cool, but the crap ruins it, thanks eu i guess. top speed is fine, you dont drive this on the autobahn a lot, my ice powered first gen kangoo goes 160 top speed, and its fine.
At least it's future proof, we're on the verge of big EV price slashes in 2025/2026 and price parity followed with EVs being cheaper after that. The reality is that petrol cars won't sell anymore in just a few years. If Renault had used a car/platform made for petrol and EV, they would have created a pretty shit car that is bad in both cases and would be impossible to sell in a very near future. So no, Renault is right on this one, probably one of the company who understood the best what the car market will be like in just a few years.
Nice Video, I think they've done a great job. There is a hot version of the A290 coming. With a second engine on the rear axle and 4wd. power is expected to be around 280-300hp
@@jimmyh6601no I definitely don’t work for an oil company. But I do like an engaging driving experience. I’d prefer to drive a manual over an automatic for the same reason. Even though I know most modern auto boxes are quicker.
A couple of thoughts 1) the top speed will not be an issue for this car's target demographic, 2) if Renault can somehow get the purchase price below £20,000/€25,000 they will sell an absolute shed-load of these.
Thank you. Very informative. I liked the ending with comparisons. As much as the new 5 is cool, If I was in the money I probably would go something else.
As a child of the 80s, the Renault five was everywhere in my hometown. Unfortunately, at €30,000 you won't see this car anywhere. I don't know what car manufacturer in Europe is doing wrong. But what happened to the bread and butter of cars. For €10-15,000 new price? That used to be a Polo R5 and a Fiat UNO. We Europeans can't do that anymore, we don't want to do that anymore.
Unfortunately a 14,000€ car in 2007 would cost 22,000€ today just because of inflation, add to that that electric tech is a bit more expensive than gas, this car makes some sense around 28k, which is hopefully what it'll be at in 2-3 years once they've fulfilled the initial wave of pre-orders and gotten to higher manufacturing efficiency Indeed though they waste money on chatgpt assistants and give us huge screens, unfortunately
I'm early so it must be very late! I'm a bit curious but ofc we'll never see one down here. My Alto Turbo RS has a 150kmh limit too, but that's a Japanese Kei car law & at 720kg, it's fast enough. Cheers Andy.
Saw it in the Geneva motor show, the car looks really well designed, both in and outside. Really beautiful proportions and details. Unfortunately I needed a car already so I had to go for a different model, but it convinced me to buy the Megane etech and I couldn't be happier.
Looks amazing, pity it’s only available in a milk float version ⚡️ Hopefully they’ll do a petrol version when they realise no one wants to be forced to drive electric.
I'm french and i have a low level in english so scuz me for the error of synthax. And for the new Renault 5 she not makes me dream but she's look pretty and it's made in France, it's not an easy thing today (thank you m. Macron and thank you ms. Der Leyen...), that's all. Good video so keep going, thank's from the Renault country. ^^
Je suis en France maitenant... en vacances. I did see an original 5 on the road today. I've seen some real classics actually - DS, Alpine A110, Citroen Mehari and of course a few 2CVs.
I had the chance to sit in the new R5 at St Pancras Station. Looked every bit as good in metal, as it does in photos. Loved the interior, which is pleasingly chic.
I would just like to see a 2.0 ice model.. no ev.. I owned an 80 "Le Car" back in the day. lovely car, even with the US speeds this buggy, was peppy . Just partial to ice/manuals
Much better than the Zoe (but not than the Clio) probably will sell much better than the Zoe (not such an effort to be honest) but I don't see it as a huge hit in terms of sales as it happened for the original R5. For many reasons.
I like the thought that has gone into the retro design features like the padding and the "1972" lettering. One of the better retro designs I think. Hopefully the R4 will be as good!
I love it! It reminds me of the Honda e, which captured the spirit of the original Civic, and at least this looks like a Renault 5 and has maintained its supermini status unlike the new Capri.
Looks nice but let's wait to see how good of a seller it will be. The 500e was a flop. The new Grande Panda will be an EV and an Ice Hybrid vehicle. This 5 should follow suite. Buyers should have options of a BEV, petrol and a diesel.
Any plans from Renault to make another "Le Car"? I really wish we could get this one in the US... My first car was a Supercinq but by that time I had driven my dad's R5 quite a bit... loved them both. This takes me back 30+ years... wow...
Can‘t wait for it! My first car was an original R5 TS and while it financially and mentally killed me, I loved it. So I am more than willing to fall for it again.
Outstanding job by Renault. Wrapping nostalgia into a knockout modern design is a difficult thing to pull off - so difficult in fact that Ford didn't even try with the new Crapi. The 5 looks awesome and is the perfect antidote to lumbering grey SUVs, if its got more than 200 miles, I'm in.
Love it! And about the top speed: I went to Germany three times in five years (I live in The Netherlands). One time it was with a smaller Peugeot. I touched 200kph a couple of times but most times the roads were too bad, too busy, and when I could hit the 200kph it was scary in that car. So no probs to drive a 150kph cars. Oh, the other two times were in a Bentley Continental GT W12 and a Bentley Turbo R and yes, I drove fast haha.
Hooray for the speedlimitation!! Just came back from a tour to Italy. Driving at a normal cruising speed of 120km/h, it’s ridiculous to have to deal with cars that go over 200km/h on a normal weekday, on a normal road, with normal traffics as trucks, buses and commuters. So, again, hooray for speedlimitation
As someone who shares a Zoe and a Twingo with my parents, I am ecstatic about the new Cinq and am saving up for it. I just hope that I can just turn off all of those computerized 'safety features'. Adaptive ruise control and parking sensors are one thing and make driving safely easier without taking away autonomy from the driver. But if they force lane assists, black boxes and AI into the base model, they lost me as a potential customer. On the roads I travel those would be a hindrance more often than a boon. I know there are people that see airbags and seatbelts as an insult to their driving skills, but those are for when something outside of your control happens... like a runaway truck or something.
I'm not a fan of revivals neither of electric cars, but Renault did a brilliant job in both fields. I even think that this is one of the better executed revival ever made, maybe even better than the Mini, I would dare to say.
The only problem I have with it is my family won't fit in it. My 2 sons are 5'9" and 10". I am thinking of getting them some like an 08 or 09 C Class so they can travel behind us😉
It's perfect design wise but totally ruinedby the lack of a zippy petrol engine, 5 speed gearbox and SIMPLICITY. And all the ridiculous technology paraded as 'safety' are nothing to do with actually safety but restrictions. Touch controls and all the AI crap is the polar opposite of the simplicity of the original.😊 there's no denying the fun and use of bright colours and NO SUV Design but modern cars are incredibly depressing.
Ow! Right in the childhood! R5s were everywhere when I grew up in France. We had a Mini though. This new R5 looks bitchin'. Too bad it won't be sold in the US.
Good video, great car. I sat in the new 5 at the Festival of Speed and spoke with the Head of Renault UK, it is an interesting proposition that will tug heartstrings, it is aesthetically good looking. Very sensible top speed limited 93, where can you drive faster, legally? Hope it does well, I enjoyed my old R5L very much, very practical and economical.
Another stylish small car that we'll never see on my side of the pond - all we get are oversized and expensive SUVs (Mustang mach e, I'm looking at you). I have a Chevrolet Bolt which is about as close as I could get, and I like it, but I'd rather have this. Renault did a nice job of it.
I don't have anything tap-like to dispense sparkling water. We have tried water-sparkling-things but the results were unconvincing. So we do buy sparkling water in bottles, glass and re-usable, from local sources.
Love the look of this. Has hints of the MK2 5 about it as well to me. I am gonna be that guy though and say that I’m gutted they’re not doing a turbo petrol version 😢
To be fair to Renault they have done their best here to make the new 5 a bit like the original as it does resemble it, I like the ribbing on the passenger side of the dash which again reminds you of the original 5. I like it but I wouldn’t buy one as it’s a modern car with too much tech that wants to control your driving experience. Another good video, thanks.👍
Bar all the usual EV negativity, if this is around £25K it should sell well or be a great bargain down the line. All kudos to the French for making smaller EVs, instead of a giant, heavy, expensive SUV. And my car is a 3 Litre diesel of which I have no intention of going electric.
Here comes AI Renault folks! With speed limiter! Better days late 80s, there was a maroon or red Renault 5 RS Turbo in my neighborhood parked of Fountain AV in LA, I see it everyday and I drooled at it
As a city car navigating congestion and tight spaces you need good visibility and narrow size which this doesn't have. And in non sport models there should be no need for bolstered seats that make ingress/egress a little less easy. And a bright, cheerful environment inside would be nice. So in this case, the original Twingo was a smarter design that considered how people live and drive as well as looked forward rather than backward in car design. Don't even get started on the price of entry.
Can we sell this car as the new NIssan Micra EV in the USA? With the right battery system, you could use an SAE J3400 charging connector and charge the vehicle to full 230 mile range in around ten minutes.
4:15 The Nissan Leaf and Zoe are not closely related. Chassis, drive train, battery and electronics all different. The UK made ones did have the same Renault Nissan 12v battery, that's it.
at least the Renault 5 looks like a Renault 5 even without the badges. Take the badges off the new Capri and it becomes a polestar

It needs to be improved but yeah of course you should disable lane assist on bad roads, that's pretty much common sense. It's needs improvements but it will still save lives. The speed limit recognition is really a soft measure but still a good one, it helps when you lack attention to the road (happens to everyone).
@@manu.yt25it saves me a lot of money. Because I would NEVER EVER buy a car with this crap installed.
@@albinklein7680 Your losses I guess, wishing you to never have a loss of consciousness/feeling sick/falling asleep behind the wheel. There was a time where people couldn't stand seat belts as well but you see that it's past history now, the world changes, old habits dies.
@@manu.yt25There's a difference in between seat belts (something that's actually there for sake of YOUR safety) and something that actually tried to killed me in a borrowed car (lane assist sent me an introduction into another car, yikes). Not to mention a brake assist going crazy after going through a bump. In case you're wondering - that was a 2021 Skoda Scala, quite a nice commuter otherwise. Yay, that's the future as things are getting more and more unfinished onto the market. That was the moment I decided that I want to stick to my old crap boxes - they do not attempt to kill me.
I don't mind people having different opinion. Sure there were (and will be) various cases of these assists being saviours in many situations, so they are a danger to a certain extent as they're as flawless as programming and our technological limitations can get.
"It's an electric car - it doesn't have a turbo"
That didn't stop Porsche from making a Taycan turbo, and even a turbo S!
There's a guy on RUclips that bought one, and he's far from impressed.
@@rob5944 I test drove one (turbo S) for about 40 miles and it was a very nice car; owning one is very different.
@@dlevi67 doubtless it was, however I'd only consider a hybrid car due to grave concerns over power generation and infrastructure.
@@rob5944 That applies to any BEV, though, not just the Taycan (FWIW, I share your concerns and drive a PHEV)
@@dlevi67 of course, I can't plug in as there isn't any parking on the nearside of the road. This presents another problem. With respect, I don't think electricity is the way forward as the sole propulsion for vehicles. Furthermore carbon neutral living is an impossibility if we wish to live the comfort we've become accustomed to, we're always going to leave a footprint.
The optional baguette holder might have swayed me into getting one if I hadn't recently bought a new Clio, that's an essential feature!
As an American, who knows nothing about European EVs, I like the style and looks of this EV. 😉👍
It is nice to look at. As another American, I find exhausting the European penchant for making and obeying fun-killing laws. Leashes disguised as features anger me. I guess it's foolish in this day and age to hope a car can just be simple, fun, and not engineered within an inch of its life.
@@cisium1184 I mean, I still row my own gears, which means I can't text and drive, and being distracted is much more difficult, and in 19 years of driving I have yet to cause or be in an accident. Odd, that. Also, my manual has all the cool things like "eco mode" when the tachometer needle is down low, and "sport mode" when the needle gets a bit more...stimulated. 😉
@@cisium1184 Europe is leading the way in safety.... in the past crash tests and seatbelts were considered "fun-killing" but got widely adopted now. I think past the novelty you will be happy to have a car who can recognize if you passed out/felt asleep behind the wheel... having myself already been in an accident after falling asleep for just a second on the highway, I can now feel how those equipment car be life saving. And for other stuff like overspeed sounds, well it's a very small annoyance but doesn't restrict you that much, car lobbysts did a wonderful job again in reality, you can compare to what others mean of transportation with a less strong industry and lobby was quickly limited to, like for example ebikes and escooters who are limited to 25 from the factory and having you to risk huge fines if you change that limitation. Compared to that limiting cars to 150 is really a very soft measure but still a good start...
They should bring it back to the US as the Le Car
@@manu.yt25 That limit to 150 is ridiculous. You won't be seeing that car on the road in the Balkan, since we love to speed over 200 km/h here without seatbelts in an old Golf or BMW from the 90s/2000s.
We were in Lille France two days ago and a new 5 drove out of a car park in a fetching retro 70’s green and it looked fantastic.

I wish that we would get out of this trend of making cars larger. Especially wider. Driving on roads with cars parked both sides is so much harder with wider cars. We would have a lot less congestion if we didn't have to keep stopping to give way to oncoming traffic all the time. And I keep saying that electric is not the answer if we are using the same amount or more energy. We are just moving the pollution. We need to go smaller, lighter, less material intensive, and more energy efficient.
I really, really hate all these big screens in cars now.
It's practical to limit top speed of EVs for three reasons:
1) you can fix a short gear ratio for improved acceleration at low speed
2) range falls staggeringly quickly with increased speed. At 130 km/h you get one fourth of the range you get at 90, sheer aerodynamics
3) It's easier to design cooling of electronics and motor if you limit the total *continuous* power.
Also why would you need to be capable of speeds above the speed limit? I’m sure any official racing versions would have the limiter removed
@@deeznoots6241yeah there's an alpine version apparently
@@deeznoots6241 that's simple: Overtaking

Renault has always managed to spice up the car scene with something spectacular, innovative, mad, and sometimes cute too. 4, 5, Espace, Fuego, 25 Baccara, Twingo, Clio, Avantime, Twizy.
Brilliant car company.
Spot on comment but my favourites will always be the 4 and 16 but I am no longer young,
Despite being an ICE lover, I really WANT the new R5, Renault just did everything so right, and the interior is amazing looking. If there's one ev I could ever want, it'll be this! However, paying 30k+ for a car with very little range won't interest me, so we'll see how good it's range and consumption shall be
They're just starting production and are flooded with orders, wait 2025-2026 to start seeing some discounts on it, but yeah indeed the price is quite steep.
@@manu.yt25a flash in the pan probably.
It should be more on the mid 20K
Alfa Romeo Milano should be called „Mediolan” then, as it’s the Polish way of saying Milano
...or called ‘Milan’ after the club.
I would have gone with Polano.
I own a 1994 Super 5, and I have to admit this new 5 peaked my interest. This and the Honda E are my favorite new EVs now, I'd love to get one if I was getting a new car.
Easily one of the most endearing electric car designs to date; not to mention it actually does the original Renault 5 justice and the interior is fantastic. Proof that electric car designs inside and out don't have to be boring. A lot of Fords electric dashes just look plain in comparison with the Ipad glued in the middle effect. It's a real pity too as the latest 5th Gen Mondeo that's exclusive to the Chinese Market and Middle East actually has a surprisingly decent dash; certainly better than the Mach-E's and the so called Capri's. I know the 5th Gen mondeo isn't really electric but still no reason Ford couldn't do something more inspiring with their electric dash designs. Don't know why Ford didn't give those cars that sort of Dash. I admit that the Mach-E is actually not a bad looking car externally but a nicer dash wouldn't have went amiss or actually bringing the 5th Gen Mondeo to the UK but of course it probably wouldn't sell well enough.
it looks cool and all but the whole computer controlling everything feels claustrophobic. A 150 kph electric speed limit is just....harsh.
But isn't 150 km/h the equivalent of 93 mph? That's already pretty fast in most of Europe outside of Germany.
@@Sacto1654 mid compared to almost any other modern car electric or not
Tell me that after you have hit another car doing 93 mph and you can hear the screams of a child coming from the other vehicle.
ebikes and escooters are limited to 25 kph from the factory, limiting a car to 150 kph given the risk especially for other people is common sense to me.
For what is essentially a city car a 150 speed limit sounds very reasonable
To be fair, where I lived in France the tap water was not of sufficient quality to actually drink, so we were forced to buy bottled.
Same here in Italy... good luck drinking that liquid stone which comes out of the tap....
Same in UK. Tap water is awful.
Also many problems in Devon and Cornwall over the years, Camelford scandal being the worst example.
I grew up in Northern France and we never drank tap water. It was Vittel all the way.
I live in the US and I can't find Vittel anywhere! And Evian is not as good.
same thing in germany
I'am sure Renault will find a way to blow the head gasket even in a electric motor.
Why is KIA still allowed to call their car Sorento, and Ford/VW allowed to call their upcoming car Capri, and Alfa is not allowed to call their car Milano. Stelantis should take the Italian government to court for discrimination and double standards.
I think it’s to do with where the car is built, with the new EV not built in Italy.
I’d like to see a Renault 4 revival !
It’s coming. It will be a mini SUV sitting on the same underpinnings as the 5 with I guess most of the same electrics.
I do genuinely really like this new Renault 5, its essentially the same shape as the original but just given a 21st century tweek!
True, i like it as well, but there is something off with the tailgate imo.
Renault really really REALLY wants this to sold well, with the amount of ads and the generated hype they try to make. And that's pretty understandable, seeing what's happening with the new Fiat 500
I think this will sell extremely well and yes Renault certainly need it to do so. In terms of design they have pulled off the same feat as BMW did with their Mini, updating but strongly referencing the original. The only issues might be with the price - £24k would have been great 2 years ago but there's a lot of Chinese imports now - and the range. I don't think the speed will prove to be too much of a deterrent ultimately
An electric 5 "Turbo" makes perfect sense. You can put a huge battery and powerful electric motor in the back. If you want, put another motor in the front and make it 4wd.
Hyundai has shown that an EV hot hatch can be great fun.
well, there's the Alpine A290 that's basically that.
@@marcogentile3392 Well, not quite. The Alpine still has 5 doors and rear seats. With the Turbo, those rear seats would be deleted, giving ample space for a much larger battery and motor than the Alpine has. And the means to cool it.
I think the point is that the name "Turbo" makes no sense on an electric car, because there's no exhaust gas to drive a turbine, and forcing extra air into an electric motor wouldn't make it go any faster anyway.
I like EVs, but I hate these elecronic drive "assists" which in real life are rather dangerous and shitty then useful.
It isn't just EVs, it's all new cars. Most of the safety nannies are either mandatory (though EU and North America have differing requirements), or necessary in order to achieve top safety ratings.
to get 5 stars you have to include these dangerous so-call safety features that rarely work properly.
@@TerryHickey-xt4mfReliability of new cars is also terrible. Even if it doesn't break down a lot, it's about 1/4 of mileage 90s cars could do without overhaul.
@@bikeaddictbpInstead just good trainining should have been. How come nobody can do what Finland does?
I was really excited about this car, right up to the point where you said it's an EV. If Renault had equipped it with a 1.2 litre petrol engine, ditched the tech, and sold it for £15k, it would fly out the door. As it is, it'll be like every other EV on the market; a sales disaster. Shame, because it looks absolutely fantastic.
the new r5 is cool, but the crap ruins it, thanks eu i guess. top speed is fine, you dont drive this on the autobahn a lot, my ice powered first gen kangoo goes 160 top speed, and its fine.
Might be nice when they remove the mobility scooter spec and put a real engine in it.
Had a Supercinque as my first car in the 90s. It was a masterclass in packaging and small car comfort.
It's the first new car in years that I've thought "Wow that looks cool, I'd have one of those" but the lack of petrol engine kills it.
same
Ditto. And the ghastly interior.
Just swap the old cleon on it. If I had money I'd do that asap
At least it's future proof, we're on the verge of big EV price slashes in 2025/2026 and price parity followed with EVs being cheaper after that. The reality is that petrol cars won't sell anymore in just a few years. If Renault had used a car/platform made for petrol and EV, they would have created a pretty shit car that is bad in both cases and would be impossible to sell in a very near future. So no, Renault is right on this one, probably one of the company who understood the best what the car market will be like in just a few years.
@@manu.yt25I would bet all my money in a heartbeat to the fact that ICE cars will still outsell BEVs in 2050.
Nice Video, I think they've done a great job. There is a hot version of the A290 coming. With a second engine on the rear axle and 4wd. power is expected to be around 280-300hp

Nice looking retro design, and this was the first time I heard about Nissan Micra EV. Nice to see the Micra name will still live on.
A couple of thoughts 1) the top speed will not be an issue for this car's target demographic, 2) if Renault can somehow get the purchase price below £20,000/€25,000 they will sell an absolute shed-load of these.
whats wrong with round steering wheels? Is square road wheels next?
This is literally the first ever EV I might actually consider being seen dead in. I wouldn't be seen alive in it, but definitely dead.
Thank you. Very informative. I liked the ending with comparisons. As much as the new 5 is cool, If I was in the money I probably would go something else.
Yeah, when I started looking around I was thinking I'd look at something else. But then I'm very stingy.
As a child of the 80s, the Renault five was everywhere in my hometown. Unfortunately, at €30,000 you won't see this car anywhere.
I don't know what car manufacturer in Europe is doing wrong.
But what happened to the bread and butter of cars. For €10-15,000 new price? That used to be a Polo R5 and a Fiat UNO.
We Europeans can't do that anymore, we don't want to do that anymore.
Unfortunately a 14,000€ car in 2007 would cost 22,000€ today just because of inflation, add to that that electric tech is a bit more expensive than gas, this car makes some sense around 28k, which is hopefully what it'll be at in 2-3 years once they've fulfilled the initial wave of pre-orders and gotten to higher manufacturing efficiency
Indeed though they waste money on chatgpt assistants and give us huge screens, unfortunately
List price of a 5 in 1985 was about £7k which in today's money is £22-23K. This one will start at £25K and is also an EV, so not a mile off.
Am I the only one who just wants an original Renault 4 ???
No ? Just me then ?
I'm early so it must be very late! I'm a bit curious but ofc we'll never see one down here. My Alto Turbo RS has a 150kmh limit too, but that's a Japanese Kei car law & at 720kg, it's fast enough. Cheers Andy.
It's good to swap the Cleon Engine on it!! Make it Realistic.
AND I'd also go to remove all the interior and install the old interior inside it. Remove all the boring screens. AAAHHH How I wish to have money
Saw it in the Geneva motor show, the car looks really well designed, both in and outside. Really beautiful proportions and details.
Unfortunately I needed a car already so I had to go for a different model, but it convinced me to buy the Megane etech and I couldn't be happier.
That price tag may kill the car on arrival. What were they thinking? 😂
Looks amazing, pity it’s only available in a milk float version ⚡️
Hopefully they’ll do a petrol version when they realise no one wants to be forced to drive electric.
I'm french and i have a low level in english so scuz me for the error of synthax.
And for the new Renault 5 she not makes me dream but she's look pretty and it's made in France, it's not an easy thing today (thank you m. Macron and thank you ms. Der Leyen...), that's all. Good video so keep going, thank's from the Renault country. ^^
Je suis en France maitenant... en vacances.
I did see an original 5 on the road today. I've seen some real classics actually - DS, Alpine A110, Citroen Mehari and of course a few 2CVs.
Oh man, I love seeing those classic french cars whenever I'm in France. I saw depressingly few the last time I was there in 2019.
I had the chance to sit in the new R5 at St Pancras Station. Looked every bit as good in metal, as it does in photos. Loved the interior, which is pleasingly chic.
The Alpine R5/Alpine A290 is cooler
Used to have the original R5. Unless they launch an ICE or hybrid version, they can jog on!
I would just like to see a 2.0 ice model.. no ev.. I owned an 80 "Le Car" back in the day. lovely car, even with the US speeds this buggy, was peppy . Just partial to ice/manuals
How can they call it a 5 when it has a symmetrical wheelbase?
They will put a small turbo petrol engine in this car in a couple of years. The way the industry is going, i am almost sure of it
Much better than the Zoe (but not than the Clio) probably will sell much better than the Zoe (not such an effort to be honest) but I don't see it as a huge hit in terms of sales as it happened for the original R5. For many reasons.
Renault 5 was a fun car to drive. Twingo was fun to see.
What a great observation i look them both.
I like the thought that has gone into the retro design features like the padding and the "1972" lettering. One of the better retro designs I think. Hopefully the R4 will be as good!
I love it! It reminds me of the Honda e, which captured the spirit of the original Civic, and at least this looks like a Renault 5 and has maintained its supermini status unlike the new Capri.
Looks nice but let's wait to see how good of a seller it will be. The 500e was a flop. The new Grande Panda will be an EV and an Ice Hybrid vehicle. This 5 should follow suite. Buyers should have options of a BEV, petrol and a diesel.
Any plans from Renault to make another "Le Car"? I really wish we could get this one in the US...
My first car was a Supercinq but by that time I had driven my dad's R5 quite a bit... loved them both.
This takes me back 30+ years... wow...
Can‘t wait for it! My first car was an original R5 TS and while it financially and mentally killed me, I loved it. So I am more than willing to fall for it again.
Outstanding job by Renault. Wrapping nostalgia into a knockout modern design is a difficult thing to pull off - so difficult in fact that Ford didn't even try with the new Crapi. The 5 looks awesome and is the perfect antidote to lumbering grey SUVs, if its got more than 200 miles, I'm in.
Love it! And about the top speed: I went to Germany three times in five years (I live in The Netherlands). One time it was with a smaller Peugeot. I touched 200kph a couple of times but most times the roads were too bad, too busy, and when I could hit the 200kph it was scary in that car. So no probs to drive a 150kph cars.
Oh, the other two times were in a Bentley Continental GT W12 and a Bentley Turbo R and yes, I drove fast haha.
Hooray for the speedlimitation!! Just came back from a tour to Italy. Driving at a normal cruising speed of 120km/h, it’s ridiculous to have to deal with cars that go over 200km/h on a normal weekday, on a normal road, with normal traffics as trucks, buses and commuters. So, again, hooray for speedlimitation
Nice video, one comment: the renault zoe and the nissan leaf had nothing in common: different platform, engines, batteries and electronic.
If they offered it in hybrid form it might be worth getting.😤
Frankly, this channel needs a "Nissan Skyline" story and a "Renault Clio" (especially v6) story
Great fun and very professional as usual- thank you
As someone who shares a Zoe and a Twingo with my parents, I am ecstatic about the new Cinq and am saving up for it. I just hope that I can just turn off all of those computerized 'safety features'. Adaptive ruise control and parking sensors are one thing and make driving safely easier without taking away autonomy from the driver. But if they force lane assists, black boxes and AI into the base model, they lost me as a potential customer. On the roads I travel those would be a hindrance more often than a boon.
I know there are people that see airbags and seatbelts as an insult to their driving skills, but those are for when something outside of your control happens... like a runaway truck or something.
I'm not a fan of revivals neither of electric cars, but Renault did a brilliant job in both fields. I even think that this is one of the better executed revival ever made, maybe even better than the Mini, I would dare to say.
The only problem I have with it is my family won't fit in it. My 2 sons are 5'9" and 10". I am thinking of getting them some like an 08 or 09 C Class so they can travel behind us😉
The designers did a terrific job ❤
It's perfect design wise but totally ruinedby the lack of a zippy petrol engine, 5 speed gearbox and SIMPLICITY. And all the ridiculous technology paraded as 'safety' are nothing to do with actually safety but restrictions. Touch controls and all the AI crap is the polar opposite of the simplicity of the original.😊 there's no denying the fun and use of bright colours and NO SUV Design but modern cars are incredibly depressing.
Ow! Right in the childhood! R5s were everywhere when I grew up in France. We had a Mini though.
This new R5 looks bitchin'. Too bad it won't be sold in the US.
This is the first normal car in 10 years ive thought, wow this is something i'd like to buy (prob in another 10 years second hand)
Good video, great car. I sat in the new 5 at the Festival of Speed and spoke with the Head of Renault UK, it is an interesting proposition that will tug heartstrings, it is aesthetically good looking. Very sensible top speed limited 93, where can you drive faster, legally? Hope it does well, I enjoyed my old R5L very much, very practical and economical.
Most people in the world can't drink their tap water.
Renault 5 and 4 were spacious originally and thankfully the designers have done a much better job than Fords Crapi , the Mustang e-Mac and puma.
Great to see a nod to the Monotrace seats.
Another stylish small car that we'll never see on my side of the pond - all we get are oversized and expensive SUVs (Mustang mach e, I'm looking at you). I have a Chevrolet Bolt which is about as close as I could get, and I like it, but I'd rather have this. Renault did a nice job of it.
It looks downright awesome. EV or not. What a peachy design icon redone right
I don't have anything tap-like to dispense sparkling water. We have tried water-sparkling-things but the results were unconvincing. So we do buy sparkling water in bottles, glass and re-usable, from local sources.
Love the look of this. Has hints of the MK2 5 about it as well to me. I am gonna be that guy though and say that I’m gutted they’re not doing a turbo petrol version 😢
To be fair to Renault they have done their best here to make the new 5 a bit like the original as it does resemble it, I like the ribbing on the passenger side of the dash which again reminds you of the original 5.
I like it but I wouldn’t buy one as it’s a modern car with too much tech that wants to control your driving experience.
Another good video, thanks.👍
This new 5 is just perfect! I want one. Then my yellow renault 4 has a new friend to play with. The 4 is faster though.
Bar all the usual EV negativity, if this is around £25K it should sell well or be a great bargain down the line. All kudos to the French for making smaller EVs, instead of a giant, heavy, expensive SUV. And my car is a 3 Litre diesel of which I have no intention of going electric.
Outside looks OK, but why that horrible digital big screen on the dashboard ?
The last seconds of this video made my eardrums implode.
Another splendid expert narration as for the new car I am smitten. The standard car will be fast enough for me and a standard water tap a great quip!
Like the fact that the front end is in keeping with the original shape - next a GT “turbo” 😁
I think they are trying, and have done a great job, to replicate the 2nd generation body style, more than the mk 1
The elephant in the room which wasn’t mentioned?

Here comes AI Renault folks! With speed limiter!
Better days late 80s, there was a maroon or red Renault 5 RS Turbo in my neighborhood parked of Fountain AV in LA, I see it everyday and I drooled at it
As a city car navigating congestion and tight spaces you need good visibility and narrow size which this doesn't have. And in non sport models there should be no need for bolstered seats that make ingress/egress a little less easy. And a bright, cheerful environment inside would be nice. So in this case, the original Twingo was a smarter design that considered how people live and drive as well as looked forward rather than backward in car design. Don't even get started on the price of entry.
I saw a display model, even though I hate EV’s, it’s the best looking EV out there
Can we sell this car as the new NIssan Micra EV in the USA? With the right battery system, you could use an SAE J3400 charging connector and charge the vehicle to full 230 mile range in around ten minutes.
4:15 The Nissan Leaf and Zoe are not closely related. Chassis, drive train, battery and electronics all different. The UK made ones did have the same Renault Nissan 12v battery, that's it.
I’d buy it for the seats alone - well done Renault - fabulous review - cheers from Brisbane
I wish they could sell cars in America :( that car looks pretty cool better then any Tesla imo
Drinking tap water is a funny idea. French use tap water to cook or wash vegetables drinking wine instead😂
