Video Summary
Here is the summary of the Youtube Video review:This Renault R5 is the urban autonomy version with fewer options.
The review focuses on the intermediary version with a 40 kWh battery.
The power output is 120 hp, and the torque is 225 Nm.
The Renault 5 uses a synchronous motor with a wound rotor in the front. It's a front-wheel-drive vehicle.
The battery is a nickel manganese cobalt type.
The length of the car is 3.92 m, and the width is 1.77 m, with the height of 1.60 m.
It is easy to spot the great antenna.
It has 18-inch wheels with covers rather than alloy wheels and uses all-season tires that cost 200 euros as an option.
Only one reversing light is available.
Headlights are full LED with square daytime running lights.
To keep the cost down, the car has no tinted rear windows or de-icing mirrors.
The display on the hood has the R5 logo instead of information about the remaining range.
The trunk offers 277 dm3 of storage, or 959 dm3 when the rear seats are folded.
There isn't much room at the back, but there are three seatbelts, making it a 5-seater car.
For the rear, there is not a lot of storage room, but a 12-volt outlet is available.
The front seats are in a well-presented fabric and have good lateral support with height adjustment. Heated seats are an option for 400 euros.
If a heated seat is selected as an option, the passenger seat also becomes height adjustable.
The steering wheel is plastic.
The instrumentation display is a bit smaller than the techno version.
The multimedia system doesn't come with the nav. It is, however, compatible with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay. The vehicle has access to the radio and Bluetooth and offers USB connectivity.
There are no ambient lights, and materials lack quality overall. There is no panoramic sunroof. The gloves box is an average size with no additional elements.
There is no auto hold function, and it only has a reversing radar and no front sensors. The visibility is also limited because of the headrests and the small window area.
The car handles well and turns in small roads with confidence.
Acceleration from 0 to 100 is reached in 9 seconds.
On highways, it is noisy after 110 km per hour. The maximum speed is 150 km per hour.
The consumption is about 14.5 kWh/100 km.
On fast charges, it can use a maximum of 80 kilowatts, and past 50% it gets limited to 44 kilowatts.
Alternating charging has 11 kW of power.
This R5 costs around 28,000 euros before bonuses. This goes to 26,000 euros, thanks to the 2,000 euros bonus for being built in France. It is a very pricey small car with a limited range.
For reference, a MG4 is 25,000 euros and guarantees 7 years.
