[balintk.]

Now this car is what people really need. Not giant tank looking soulless SUVs and crossovers.
Finally someone realized that with a small, compact body EV-s could be more popular. Especially with this killer design and with a funky color. Hats off to Renault.

[clubbizarre]

not a Renault person, but if electric drivetrains enable automakers to re-imagine their heritage cars and put them into a modern package... i'm all for it !!!
This is a VERY good example. They were REALLY passionate about making this, and it SHOWS !!!

[MrHabushi]

I genuinely haven't stopped thinking about this car since the production version was revealed, I'm totally smitten with it in that dark blue colour.

[icy_swoosh]

I am not an EV person at all, but this is the first EV that I want to buy immediately (only other one being the Ioniq N but the price is way too steep there). Great job Renault!

[kobbetop]

They really nailed the design with this one. If I needed a small city car, this would be on top of the list. Such a cool look in yellow.

[NVidiero]

Putting ALL in phisical buttons is awesome this days. Thank your renault.

[ceesars]

I need it, it's so beautiful, I can imagine the Twingo in a few years. Nostalgia really sells.

[Da_StormtroopeR]

The first Renault for years that set me on fire. 😍

[AMB-FM]

My dad had the original R5 when I was a kid in the 70s. Great to see it reincarnated as an EV. It certainly looks the business!

[Hybridog]

Love that green! Not a green shade you see much on cars. The overall design is nostalgic, and modern at the same time. Wish it would come visit the USA.

[jontyb]

Without doubt the best small EV yet. So much more stylish than the mini imo.

[ChrominanceSubcarrier]

Been a bit under the weather so decided to watch your review of the R5 again. Feeling great now - thank you!

People may complain. But I love how a funky car like this is here in 2024. With a good enough range, I would buy, even if I don’t, I’m glad it exists and I’ll smile if I see one

[Mryla-vx]

Who cares about efficiency, charging speed whatever. It is a love at first glance. This is what tesla will never reach.

[robsawalker]

The headlining and dash are like the old Renault 5. I love this car so much!

[sevensixtysteve]

Renault absolutely nailed it with this car, fab looks and fair value in EV terms. It looks to be a good balance of style and practicality as well as referencing the past while looking modern and not like a cartoon. Be great if they introduced a slightly sportier variant between this and the Alpine, a 5 GT with 170-180 bhp would be awesome.

[mikeolson]

It certainly delivers much more personality than the new MINIs!!!

You deserve to be number one, you deserve to have a lot more followers! Let's go for the million mark!
