Video Summary
Here is the summary of the YouTube video:The new Renault 5 is not cheap, tinny, or rattly like the original. It's electric, but still gorgeous, with styling cues that reference the original. The concept car's looks remained intact in the production model. Its base model has 148BHP, while the top spec offers 200BHP, and the 0-60 is around 7.9 seconds. It has been voted the best electric car by some motoring press magazines. The car's overall design is excellent.
This EV is great fun to drive. One benefit of the tinny door clang is that not enough insulation is used, making it light. The curb weight is 1450 kg. It has quite lively steering. The suspension is analog. That does not mean it’s old-fashioned and still modern. All of the tech you would expect, such as Sat Nav and Apple Car Play, has been integrated into it. All of the cloth comes from recycled plastic bottles.
There are two complaints: One, the stalk to engage drive is lost amongst a cat's whiskers arrangement of stalks on the right-hand side of the steering wheel. Two, there are only two regenerative braking settings.
Most electric cars are boring, but the Renault 5 is a game changer. This electric car doesn't have to be dull and bland. Overall, it's a good car that should have more options. This car shows that the future doesn't have to be boring and shows the way to that future.
