RENAULT 5 - WHY THIS REBOOT CHANGES EVERYTHING. FULL UK REVIEW.

EV Channels Review

The Renault 5 reboot is lauded as a significant advancement in the electric vehicle landscape, primarily due to its sheer desirability and emotional appeal, rather than groundbreaking technical specifications. The reviewer highlights its sensational retro-modern styling, which successfully evokes nostalgia while remaining fresh and contemporary, making it a standout design. The interior is praised for its successful blend of retro cues and modern technology, with a particular emphasis on the use of recycled materials and a strong sustainability message. While the range, efficiency, and charging speeds are described as average, and rear legroom and storage are limited, the car excels in ride comfort and refinement, feeling more premium than its supermini class suggests. The driving experience is noted as comfortable and maneuverable, though less engaging than a Mini Cooper. The pricing is considered excellent value, especially for the higher trims. Ultimately, the Renault 5 is deemed an "absolute winner" for its ability to make EV ownership desirable, effectively expanding the EV market.
