- The Renault 5 is the most exciting new car of 2024 - first look detailed review. Following in the tyre treads of Fiat's 500 and the new Mini, Renault has waited 52 years to launch an all-new (all electric) vibrant and unashamedly French Renault 5 to the market. With two battery pack sizes, an EV range of up to 250 miles and styling that carefully weaves between retro and futuristique, the £22,000 (est) R5 builds on Renault's electric models that began some 10 years ago with the Zoe.

Need an Ali G advert with the yellow one, be a laugh!😂
Junglist massive!!
Ali E
Flagging coppers from behind the door.
With a big stereo.😅
That would be fucking grand
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!!
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.
Name one Chinese SUV.
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.
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
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.
It needs a V6
@@che7wins614
While I'd love to see that I'd settle for a 4x4 twin motor giant killer version!
Wait and see the Alpine version😅
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.
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.
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
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.
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!
Yeah the honda e was the only electric thing I was interested in. The new 5 looks in that line
Correct.
Honda E is a gorgeous design, simple, small, stunning, crap range
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.
I have the same feeling as when I first saw the Ioniq 5, this car is beautiful and I want it.
I love the ionic 5, that R5 is amazing too!
As a happy Fiat 500e owner I like to see more competition in the small electric cars coming in. This new R5 looks great!
Renaissance of the iconic cars from France 🇫🇷
Renaultsance?
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 👍🏼
you had me at baguette holder... Possibly my new fave EV - not another SUV but exactly what is needed in this space!
As design exercises go, this must be up there with one of the very best in decades. Could be an absolute game changer, especially at that price point. What a thing.
I'll take the yellow one please. Thank you.
This is the first electric I’ve looked at that I actually want, what a cool little thing!
I love the design, simple ,clean and elegant yet very modern and the proportions are right, that's how a car should look like 👍
I've got a Tungsten R5 GTT, and have been waiting for this to release for so long! I'm glad you reviewed it Jonny - absolutely awesome vid 😎 you've sealed the deal and I'll be ordering one as soon as I can.
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.
Renault are my favourite manufacturer. Great design and not afraid to be bold. Looks brilliant. Well done guys ✌🏻
This design is automotive perfection ( in my eyes) it’s modern retro done perfectly inside and out.💚🖤💚🖤💚🖤
Just found your channel! Impressive and detailed review, Wow. Most detailed R5 introduction review.
That yellow interior is immense.
Isn't it just?
@@TheLateBrakeShow Do you know fi you can get the green exterior with the yellow interior? That lemon-lime combo would be perfect.....sadly as an American it is off the menu though, so I will keep driving my 1998 Nissan Sentra until I move to Sweden in a few years.
I HAVE NEVER BEEN SO EXCITED FOR A CAR LAUNCH. I absolutely adore it. I ADORE IT. Renault, bravo.
As always, great work mate!
Yes, this is more like it! Will look forward to you having one on the road for us Jonny 👍
Any day a new, compact hatch comes to market is a good day--wish we got these in the US!
I have had all 3 generations of ZOE so guess this will have to find it's way on my drive, been looking forward to this for years and i am not disappointed...
I bought a new Renault 5 in 1981 and loved it, although it was a bit feeble in the engine department. This is just what I want, a compact hatchback.
Looks fab! Very exciting and a really well articulated walk around. Thx!
This is the long awaited future of motoring, loving every detail 👍 great video Jonny look forward to the road test
It is a beautiful looking thing both inside and out. So want one. Thanks Jonny for all the interesting details.
Looks like it could be really fun on the road too, which is my only real gripe about my Corsa E.
2 things made me question their choices 1) 80 to 100kw charging is on the slow side, especially if you had the smaller battery and wanted to go further. 2) Reno really reminded me of the Microsoft Paperclip, the most annoying ’helper’ ever!
Wow. Great video 👍😁. You are the most detailed reporter I know of. The note book thats so retro cool looking, I really feel the impression you for this car.
Thanks for sharing❤
Jonny great scoop and as ever superb production values. Really enjoy the detail in your vids and love the way you tell the story of this new 5. Just wondered can you not control where the adverts appear? They are breaking in mid word sometimes! Maybe TH-cam doesn’t let you set the break points? All the best, D
bloody love it reminds me of my first car purchase a second hand light metallic blue Renault 5 GT Turbo in my early 20s
Love it! The first EV I've seen that I would actually consider buying! I wish Renault every success with it.
Another great video Jonny. Keep them coming! I chuckle everytime you start talking about the wheels because you know the black circles promo is coming up!!
That's the idea...
The last tyres I got, I got them via Asda Tyres. They were a bit cheaper than Black Circles.
Great review as always and this looks stunning! Hope you get the drive one soon.
Well done Jonny and Renault : a suitably characterful review, for a wonderfully characterful car.
This is the sort of stance I wanted the Honda E to have. I was gutted when they made it more vanilla when it went into production. This looks absolutely stunning.
The Honda E is now no longer on sale new. Maybe just as well now this Renault has arrived. I can't imagine many would choose a Honda E over this, with it's *way* more stylish design at £5k less.......
Great video Johnny. Very informative and thank you for doing the research.
I have a Megane RS which I track on track days and this looks like a great road car.
Great to have the detail that you provided.
We really are going somewhere with that car. Great product.
I'd say that is probably the best modern , retro inspired designs so for on a modern EV. I do like the idea of the use of the heating system, something EV seems to fall down on, in my opinion. Well done Renault . Nice work.
Johnny I don’t normally sit through a whole new car review but I loved the original Renault five and this new R5 really looks fantastic. Just as with the mini and the Fiat 500, I know the ladies will love this car and with five doors, five seats and a decent boot who can’t love it? P.s. nicely presented by you. 🙏
This was hands down the best review of this car even when compared to the bigger, mainstream channels. Well done!
I loved my 5 with its roll back roof, bright yellow paint and fun attitude. Drove that car from Toronto to Vancouver twice. Too much fun
This is so nice design and proper sized electric car for my use. There is already lot of hype brewing for this car.
And the hype will be matched by the waiting list.. At least Renault will be pleased with that..
Wow, I have never wanted an electric car before, but I really want one of these! Jonny’s excellent presenting also make me want one even more! The Honda e looked good but didn’t quite tick all the boxes, this definitely does. Great job Renault… now, where do I order one?
Yes, Jonny's relaxed but informative style of presentation makes you want to hear more. Unlike the other bloke, pushing sticks up exhaust pipes.
Renault has knocked it right out of the park with this!
Jonny has unequaled enthusiasm for nearly all cars. Renault et al are super lucky to have dudes like him out there. If that wasn't the case, cars like this would pass by unnoticed- for sure..
I really love the colours, especially the green 👍🏻, to get people interested in electric cars, this is the way to do it ! Affordable funky cars, with an option on battery size and distance ! It looks like it should be great to drive also.
We will have to see how you get on 👍🏻
if a clio and a R5 had a baby... this is it.. Well done Renault.. Super french and super cool :) Great review as always!!
You are a great car journalist ! What a great review of a super cool car !
Just driving back from Paris at the moment and followed a camouflaged mule of the new Renault 5. What a shape!!Thanks for the awesome vids 👏 🙌 👌
Looks ace in green.
I wonder if you can spec body colour and interior colours separately or do they come as combined options.
So cool. Renault have designed this beautifully.
Looks absolutely amazing I remember with great fondness the Renault 5 that my farther used to have
Wow wow, a cool car, love the retro feel and the three spoke steering wheel.
As a lifelong Reno-phile from when I had a Renault R8 for my first car, wow!…. Love it! Modern tech with the old style French flair and character that the original R5 had. Not for everyone but I love it. Great video👍
I’m not usually a fan of Renault’s latest stuff over the past decade or more, but this looks beautifully done by Renault! Very reminiscent in so many ways of the original Renault 5, and incredible that they’ve kept the price point within reach.
Great review as always, also loving the new glasses! If you owned one, would you call it Johnny 5?
There was a Johnny 7 around 50 odd years ago, a fancy kids toy gun with lots of extra add ons......
I really admire the passion, and level of detail you put into your car reviews Jonny. Geeking out about the little details, and the fact your not afraid to dip into your notebook to make sure you're being accurate. Bravo on a fantastic introduction to the car. Can't wait until you get a UK spec model to drive.
Compared to the Carwow "review" that just slagged off the cramped rear interior, and seemed to go out of its way to show this for what felt like the majority of the video.
And it seemed Robby Lew's lot either didn't get an invite, or didn't care enough to get it out after the release.
Shame it's electric and therefore so bad for the environment
🤦🤦
30 secs in "it's fully electric..."
Groan...
😅
Thank Jonny. I like what I see. I totally get why you like it. I'm impatient for a full review.
Looks brilliant thanks Johnny
Too bad it's an EV. Petrol would be a blast.
Great video Jonny. If I had the money I'd be really keen on getting one of these in a bright colour!
What a gorgeous car. Thought the Zoe was unique but this is masterpiece. Used to own a Renault 5 in the 90s. Jean-Michelle Jarre is a very popular French musician.
Gorgeous I want one in green, perfect colour..The design is beautiful, it’s so refreshing. The little details you have pointed out are heartwarming. This could be my first EV. I’m old enough to remember the Turbo and it blew my mind, there was nothing else like it… Great video as usual and looking forward to seeing it driven 👍
Your production quality is incredible.
A great review. Love that the most interesting bit for Johnny is the rear suspension 😂 Seriously, that’s the attention to detail we come here for.
Brilliant design and (on paper), brilliant execution.
Looks lovely, fully support everything about it and I'm 100% here for this kind of shiz. Thank you Renault and Jonny!
Man, that's a good looking car! The Honda E's fate was sad - but I'm glad this took it's place. :)
This will never come to the states but it would be perfect for our house. Love the column shifter. I wish the Bolt was this well laid out.
You had me at Baguette carrier, Johnny🤩
Great video as always Jonny, all manufactuers should have you doing this as standard IMO!
Looking forward to seeing thi sin the flesh to see the angles, curves and standout bits. Could be a very cool car and so happy we're finally get some more affordable EV's into the market.
Love the r5🎉❤great review Johnny
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.
I Loved it!!! Well done. Hopping my "R4" would be so nice. I miss my old R4L. Keep the excelent job you've done.
Refreshing and enthusiastic a nice style will watch more of you.
Looks great and good review 👍
Really good video, Jonny. Love this new Renault, at last a new car that isn’t “meh”!!
Masterpiece!
That is such a great looking car. It's the first EV that has made me feel that I really, really want one. Well done Renault!
Thank you Jonny, you are the doyen of motoring presenters!
A brilliant review Jonny. I like it.
I think this is absolutely mega providing the production version actually looks like this !
Bold design :-) Nice review by the way.
This car is stunning and so happy that Renault design is back after so many years, even decades, in the wilderness. Also, it appears they have embedded the design with real tech advances in true French fashion. I hope this really is the real deal that it looks like.
Quelle triomphe! I grew up in the seventies and eighties with the Renault 6 and R16, and eventually had my own Renault 5 Super Cinq in the nineties. A very characterful car, and it even held its own in a 110mph traffic jam (not for the faint hearted) on the Stuttgart to Frankfurt Autobahn. This reprise of the R5 badge looks to be a worthy reincarnation.
Brilliant . Green with yellow roof stripe and yellow interior . Thanks for great review as always .
What a superb review!
Amazing review. Love the new R5 looks. Love the retro colours. Excited to see this. Agree price is spot on. 😮
RENAULT nailed it!!! Battery with proper temperature management, V2L (and V2G) are INDISPENSABLE, independent suspension, heat pump as standard, acoustic isolation, gearshift in the steering (very practical), good seats and general comfort, ergonomy, ARM REST almost forgot!!! Also good engine power! This car is checking the boxes it seems, I'm amazed 🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌 Will it have an option for Rear Wheel Drive? That would be the cherry on top!
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
On the original R5 the bonnet grille was not a vent to let heat out, but the fresh air intake for the heater/ventilation. I worked at a renault dealer in the 70's and they used to get filled with leaves. Renault brought out a retro fit mesh kit to stop it.
Superb looking car from Renault! I love these retro revivals. The Renault 5 Turbo has always been a very special car, and one I listed after as a child. Glad to see they've incorporated a lot of that heritage.
Nice preview Jonny!
Love these Renaults. I spent my childhood in either Mum's Renault 6, or Dad's Renault 12, and I passed my test in the R12. I would be delighted if they brought out a Renault 16.
Great design, 110 KW motor, 52 kWh battery pack.. very practical size for urban driving/parking.. this is going to be such a great car for the daily commute and touring around in the weekend. This is going to sell like crazy in Europe.
Edit 1: and I forgot to mention the charging rates and even a heat pump!
Edit 2: I think I've fallen for this.. it has this very nice balance between classic design and feeling just so fresh and futuristic. "Concept car" vibes without becoming absurd.
Edit 3: V2L and V2G? Oh man take my money :D
That black model with the chrono rims looks superb!
Into those seats , really like the nod to the OG Gordini seat design.
Love it. I may have to buy one.....
