Giorgio Giugiaro said something like "A five year old can design a Ferrari. The challenge is making a car that costs nothing and still looks good and performs well". I think Renault nailed with the R5 what Fiat once did with the Fiat Panda. Well done!
Giugiaro also nailed the design of the original VW Golf (and Scirocco), just like Gandini did with the Supercinq in 1984. BTW, contrary to what is said in the video, the Supercinq isn't a facelift of the original R5 (transverse engine, different platform and suspension setup).
@uiPineappleExpress Yup, and it's totally distinct from the first generation on a technical standpoint except some engines (Cléon fonte engines family) that have been modified for a transverse implantation. If the Supercinq was only a facelift, many spare parts would have been interchangeable which isn't the case. The Supercinq shares a lot more spare parts with the R9/R11 (US Renault Alliance/Encore) models than with the original R5.
Beautiful design. My memory of the Renault 5 is quite unique. I was stationed on a US Navy vessel in the late 80s and we docked in Marseille. Another Navy vessel was on the pier directly behind us. When it was time for both of us to leave, the ship astern weighed (raised) its anchor and a Renault 5 came up with the anchor. Only in Marseille.
Me too, autre français ici 😂, and yeah I've shown it to my family, friends and they all seem to love it. And seeing cars from Renault 6 years ago makes you realise how much of a step-up this brand has been subject of since the arrival of Gilles Vidal as lead designer! I'm really excited for the upcoming Alpine A290 and Renault 4 coming this year.
@@midnight71_DRVR Besides Gilles Vidal, Luca de Meo is a fantastic CEO for Renault with a product-centric vision :) It was de Meo who saw the original unpublished ECHO concept gathering dust in a storage room and decided to put it into production. The Vidal team managed to do it in less than 4 years with this R5. Wow.
The best small car reinterpretation since the 2001 Mini and the Fiat 500! Wow! Even the seat design, as well as the fabric styles in the interior match to the 70ies/80ies.
My yellow Le Car made multiple trips across Canada, drafting behind semis. The vinyl roll back roof was so much fun. Truly the best, most fun car I ever owned. Good for Renault.
Such a neat design. If only they’d bright it back here. I wish Volvo would bring back the c30 and make it an EV too. I miss the abundance of hatchbacks and coupes we had here in the US
Seriously, seeing all the incredible cars getting pumped out in Europe makes me insanely jealous that all we'll get is bigger and bigger stupid trucks here in the states
Both my parents had an r5 when they met, although my dad had a Turbo, which he sadly sold 😭, if this would’ve launched just a couple weeks earlier we wouldn’t have the new JCW Mini Cooper Electric on order
Little correction : the all-time best-selling car in France is the Peugeot 206 (8.6 millions cars). The Renault 5 is still on the top list and comes… 5th (5.6 million cars)
@@studiomoris4542 Yes, I’ll admit that even here in France it’s not totally clear if the Super 5 model and original R5 model should be considered as a whole or two separate car models. Kinda like the VW Beetle and the New Beetle… And the question will rise once more with this R5volution model.

as a french man.....i m proud of this heritage. franch invented the electro music the french - touch.....and they have their own design touch so SYMPATIQUE ET MIGNON. of corse not the french cars are beautiful but some brands as renault...citroen....alpine...etc has created the history of europeen automotive emotion. yeh dude too much emotion in this new R5. in the beguining i didn t like it the same with the peugeot 308 gti....but at the end i realised that this little ev is a future REFERENCE IN THE DESIGN SCHOOLS. this new retro reborn is a real little REVOLUTION. the new R5 ALPINE is even better and better. i ll keep alive my megane RS TROPHY to buy also an Alpine. i have a great passion for RENAULT SPORT..................THAT S HISTORY MAN.
my father had an R8 GORDINI in blue. i still remember this emotional sporty box of metal. what a car . it was our allie in every step. the rear places are so hot because of the engine when we go to the beach i stik there like a burned paper . but it was woow.........
This got me reminded of the original Mini, and BMW's revived New Mini. Could you do a video about how BMW transitioned the Mini design into the modern era? It's one of the most unique, and best retro-design modern car.
My Zoe with ONLY 89cv put most of ice Cars stopped in traffic lights... The less R5 motor power is the same, but with a doble batterie than my old car.
The most produced French car is the Renault 4 (8 million units), the sales numbers of the Renault 5 are 5 million units(not taking into account the Supercinq which is very different technically from the original Renault 5 except the design, the Supercinq is NOT a facelifted R5 but a totally different car that is closer to a R9/R11 (Alliance/Encore)).

I currently drive an Octavia Wagon we bought new in 2015 and it now has 200k on the clock. I know the R5 is not a direct replacement, being a couple sizes smaller. The Skoda was originally the main family car, but a year ago we got a Kia EV6 for family duties and the Octavia was relegated to my daily commute, so I don't really need a car this big.

Wrong images of the interior and rear end. Most of the design of the R5 E-Tech interior and rear end is inspired in the original R5 and R5 Turbo, not in the Renault “Supercinq”/5 "facelift" (a second generation on a different platform rather than a facelift).
Hello Thank you for your video. The analysis of the car’s design is very relevant and very interesting. Today, as with the first generation of R5, the marketing target is 1) young people and 2) the young mother who must transport her children and her shopping. In the minds of Americans, there is still a natural association between power, car size and safety. European cars are designed for generally tighter environments and safety is more associated with control of the car such as its speed, brakes, handling, etc. The new R5 EV is suitable for urban to semi-urban use. If consumers are interested, why not see them in cities across the United States. It is also a question of usage mentality.
My 3rd and last Renault is my current drive so this design makes me feel so nostalgic. And, like many design focused cars, there are quirks that are character building... EV's so desperately need character.
All the constraints because of regulations (🔌 motorization), crash tests etc & they still managed to pull it off. 🤯 This quality of design + engineering will always get my respect. They are going to sell it like 🥐 & will upgrade it continuously, a bit like Tesla. A few years from now we'll probably have a 20K€ for the cheap version & probably a 35K to 40K€ for the Alpine & competition versions (I want to see that thing in rally so bad), with plenty ways for personalization. It's a success imo.
Will there be a right hand drive available in Australia? Will there be any dealer support? Will there be readily available spare parts? Will there be mechanics who know how to fix them? What is the warranty on the battery? What is the likely depreciation rate? So many questions, so few answers .........
The R5 Alpine Turbo was still FWD and pretty low on power... We should not expect a 300hp RWD hot hatch, if they don't make an "R5 Turbo" without the alpine nomenclature?
You're right, they both have that 80s retro vibe. However it's far smaller and significantly less expensive than the Ioniq 5. I love both the Ioniq 5 and Kia EV6 designs, but they're too big for my own preferences, despite looking smaller than they actually are.
@@ryannatividad3137 You're right, Ioniq 5 looks still iconic and great, but this one looks so unique. French know how to desing but sometimes, they're too radical.😅
I owned a 5 back in the eighties, they were called Le Car here in the states. It had a newer dash with a better design than what you showed. That dash had vertical segments running horizontally partway across that looked like little pillows, but were hard plastic. The vertical stitching on the new dash must be a throwback to that dash design. Having said that, the Le Car was the worst, most unreliable car I’ve ever owned. Hope the new one is much more reliable.
Reliability was horrible for almost every car company in the 80s (except for the japanese brands). Nowadays Renaults are above average in terms of reliability.
I suspect that there is an agreement with Alpine as they are making a more powerful version of this car. There may be a sporty version released, but probably after Alpine have landed their version
remember what i ve told you....some retro designs are timeless and still gorgeous. so why some brands as BMW must refere to their glorious past to make modern reborns. renault did that.
So no this "normal" version for you in USA but maybe the hot hatch Sport version made in Alpine, current name "R5 A290" because I think that Alpine, therefore Renault, will review things to market it in the USA if the normal R5 has a lot of success in Europe and the rest of the world, which I think will happen. Wait & see... -> th-cam.com/video/Z9UX2VVzy4k/w-d-xo.html
I guess I'm the odd one out. I think it looks awkward. I see the reference to the original, but I feel like the design is almost overwrought. The mix of soft and smooth surfacing contrasts awkwardly with the geometric light features. The same applies to the sharp lines that accents the wheel arches. I think the interior is a slam dunk though
The thing why the new renault 5 is underpowered i think it is mainly because of insurance the less power the car has the cheaper in insurance will be in europe and in france they are really picky about that I will prefer a more powerful version or a gasoline model too but it is what it is
This new Renault 5 especially the interior design makes me think of French ideas of future tech. They hired Jean Michelle Jarre so I'm taken back to when France introduced the TGV and Concorde (with us Brits 😉😂). For that reason it feels right for it to be an EV. Renault probably isn't as big a name as Tesla and Nissan because their EVarent sold in all markets but they've been in the game as long as Tesla and Nissan so alongside still selling the Clio it doesn't make sense to have this be an I.C.E. car. to me.
This video is a mess. Throughout the whole video, you repeat that the 1984 mk2 is a facelift. It was not a facelift [a facelift is when you grab a car, change/redesign some parts, to make it fresher and make it last more years]. The 1984 mk2 is a 100% new car. While the original 1972 was based on the 1961 Renault 4 platform and engines, disposing the engine longitudinally ahead of the wheels, the 1984 mk2 was based in a shortened version of the 100% new platform firstly unveiled in the 1981 Renault 9, which displaces the engines transversally. You also totally mix it up when showing dashoards. The interior you're showing at 12:00 is mk2 one, not the mk1 - which, not only was different from this, as it had 2 versions (1 in the 1972, and another in the 1979 facelift).
Gauge cluster is absolutely too big and clunky, for absolutely no reason. And it's not even really reminiscent of the original, which looked way different and was lower. It should at least 3 inches lower in the new EV. You feel like you're sitting in front of a television you are looking over.
Actually, the car is doing pretty well price wise. Right now the R5 is the cheapest b segment electric hatch in europe starting at 32k euros going up to 35k for the top spec version, there will be a cheaper 300 km range variant coming at 25k euros by the end of this year.
"EV driving experience" comment is wrong. Apple to Apple, EV have better performance. Torque is immediate. Zero to 100km in a cheap EV can be 7 sec, and in more expensive models 3 sec. EV are fun to drive. Very fast and sporty EV are available if you have the money. Unless you like a noisy, smelly, jurky drive, look into EV.
Because … why? CO2? Yeah, because the CO2 output of a small hot hatch is statistically relevant in any way compared to Taylor Swift‘s private jet. Give me a break.
@@haderlumpiIf you look at it like that, even the private jet is statistically irrelevant to the global CO2 emissions. Global emmissions are just the sum of numerous small emmissions that all have to end. At least there is now an easy alternative to ICE cars, unlike jets.
Schools still out for me on this new Renault. It's up against the Fiat 500e and Mini e, both of which have this tight market segment sewn up, for quite a few years now. Looks a little Suzuki Swift/Honda e/mini-Hyundai Ionic 5/Peugeot 208e front facia rip off ... to me. Simply doesn't look "french" enough. Renault enough. Nice try by Renault though.
@@jimmyh6601Don't forget to post the Total sales Number for the new Renault 5, along with the Total Sales Numbers for the 500 and Mini, when they have sold more.

"EV driving experience" comment is wrong. Apple to Apple, EV have better performance. Torque is immediate. Zero to 100km in a cheap EV can be 7 sec, and in more expensive models 3 sec. EV are fun to drive. Very fast and sporty EV are available if you have the money. Unless you like a noisy, smelly, jurky drive, look into EV.
Cooking in a microwave is much faster and more convenient. Doesn't mean it'll be tastier than cooking in an oven or on a grill.
I dont know why you are still raving about ice cars, didnt you get the memo that we have to stop burning stuff?
Because … why? CO2? Yeah, because the CO2 output of a small hot hatch is statistically relevant in any way compared to Taylor Swift‘s private jet. Give me a break.
@@haderlumpiIf you look at it like that, even the private jet is statistically irrelevant to the global CO2 emissions. Global emmissions are just the sum of numerous small emmissions that all have to end. At least there is now an easy alternative to ICE cars, unlike jets.
They need to rebadge this as a nissan, manufacture it in North America, and do some small styling changes, and use the parts bin to make this happen.
God that would make me so happy
It does share a lot with the next Nissan Micra
Why? Americans only buy trucks, SUVs and crossovers
Especially not!
This will also come as the new Micra.
Schools still out for me on this new Renault.
It's up against the Fiat 500e and Mini e, both of which have this tight market segment sewn up, for quite a few years now.
Looks a little Suzuki Swift/Honda e/mini-Hyundai Ionic 5/Peugeot 208e front facia rip off ... to me.
Simply doesn't look "french" enough. Renault enough. Nice try by Renault though.
This will outsell the Mini and 500 combined, guaranteed 🎉
@@jimmyh6601Don't forget to post the Total sales Number for the new Renault 5, along with the Total Sales Numbers for the 500 and Mini, when they have sold more.
@@Mexxx65 will do, I know I've been waiting a year to put my order in for the Renault 5, the reveal reinforced that.
