Surprise: First image of the interior of the new R5

The prototype presented by Renault has a fairly wide head -on -top display which will undoubtedly find its place on the high -end finishes of the electric R5. To push the reference even further, maybe there will be a opulent version called Baccara ? Upstream of this supposition It is possible to hope for all the expected and present amenities on the Zoé, namely: automatic air conditioning, rear parking aid, electric windows or the rear view camera. Driving aids have time to evolve by production by production, But emergency braking aid, reading traffic signs or assistance in the lane should not be absent.

Renault 5 electric

The legendary little Renault is reborn from its ashes. Disappeared since 1990 to give way to the Clio, the R5 (then Super 5) should return to the catalog by 2023, with a retro style and an electric motorization.

The look and dimensions of the electric R5 electric

Presented in early 2021, The Renault 5 Prototype prefigures the future electric R5 with lines inspired by the rod in the diamond. Front side made up of square headlights, stern integrating vertical lights, Vasarely logo revisited. The design of the concept is a tribute, of course, but also brings its share of modernity. The front diamond is more imposing, the shields incorporate the name “Renault”, a light banner connects the rear lights and the lines are a little muscular. On the before anti -cuts, a small “5” recalls the name of the car. This style had to be transposed to the series model that will be produced in France, in the Douai factory.

The interior is not visible, but The windshield suggests a fairly imposing head-on display. Equipment undoubtedly optional on a serial version. It is still easily imaginable that the future R5 will adopt at least a touch screen in the center of the dashboard to complete digital counters. No information about the dimensions has been mentioned. However, the ZOE and the Twingo should be replaced by this model with a retro pace. The total length should therefore be around 4 meters.

No grille or false air outlet on the hood. The R5 prototype is 100% electric, so no need for unnecessary elements. Since it must indirectly succeed an aging Zoé, no question for this R5 to resume its architecture. The future city car will be built on the CMF-B/EV architecture. On the other hand, given a new battery chemistry, not sure that the R5 reaches the 395 km of autonomy claimed by the Zoé on the European WLTP cycle. However, it will be necessary to ensure at least 300 km for this electric R5 whose competitors are neither more nor less than The Peugeot E-208, but also the electric Fiat 500 for its neo-retro style.

Surprise: First image of the interior of the new R5 !

Renault continues to play with our nerves by hiding the R5, which has little to hide. If not the interior, which is partially revealed.

Since the presentation of the concept in 2021, it is an understatement to say that Renault takes its time to show us anything other than the exterior design of the electric electric R5. This nourishes – intelligently – all the more frustration as the diamond manufacturer had promised from the start that the concept would be very close to the serial model.

All expectations are therefore brought to the cabin of this promising city car that its manufacturer took great care to cover each out of the prototypes. Until today, since the brand was surprised by a well -placed street at the right time that was able to draw its camera. The image is not of excellent quality, but it already offers some lessons. It nevertheless allowed us to carry out the illustration below by taking up the elements called “carry-over” already seen on board the scenic.picture

Scenic, are you there ?

If we could hope for a little originality aboard the little one in the diamond, it will probably be nothing. Our colleagues from Cochespias were able to immortalize the driver’s place with a “panel” of screens turned towards it, like this found in the megane. and especially the scenic. The string of Comodos behind the steering wheel is also there, with a nice little touch like the diamond logo on the end of the speed selector. The difference with the scenic is done at the level of the central part since the screen does not plunge on the bottom of the central console. It is supported by aerators who would not be without reminding those. of a Dacia Sandero. The R5 is not a scenic, you have to save money in certain places.

It now remains to discover the part that will face the passenger: will we be entitled to streaks which were one of the signatures of the R5 of yesteryear ? Renault did he dare a little madness aboard a car that will inevitably have an endearing side and a reminder in the past ? The answer very soon, hoping that Renault finally puts a term to the suspense which has a little too lasted.

Electric R5: Here is a taste of the permanent design of the city car

Renault is in the final stretch before the launch of its electric reissue of the R5. As proof, the revisited city car has been seen several times on the road entirely camouflaged. The opportunity for us to glimpse the lines of this quasi-define version.

As you may know, Renault intends to rely on a worn, but effective spring, to find a place on the electric market: nostalgia. To do this, the diamond brand will resuscitate two mythical models, namely the R5 and the 4L. Indeed, the two emblematic city cars will return From 2024 in a “wattée” and modern reissue.

And precisely, Renault is now in the final stretch before the launch of the electric R5 on French roads. In fact, the manufacturer is currently refining all the details with Open road tests via camouflaged pre-series prototypes. It is not surprising here, this is the procedure adopted by the vast majority of manufacturers: prototype, internal tests and road tests before presentation of the final model.

The one who is supposed to replace the Zoé in the brand’s catalog has been spotted several times on the hexagonal bitumen. Despite the camouflage, we note that the pre-series model does not seem to move away from the concept car presented by Renault in January 2021.

A pre-series model fairly close to the concept car of 2021

The tracks are certainly less wide, but also less exuberant and exaggerated than on the concept. Other difference, The mirrors won in size, While the antenna now has a shape of shark fin. Another notable modification is at the front, where Renault has obviously installed A lower air intake that houses the radar sensor.

If we believe the shapes exceeding camouflage, the front handles seem classic. In back, This R5 opted for door handles installed on the lower windows. A style popularized by Alfa Romeo and which we find in particular on the Clio and the Zoe.

Regarding the rear lights, we also note that the manufacturer wanted to wink to the original, with this arrangement vertically. Then, the side shots allow us to appreciate a little better the volumes of the city car. As announced, the electric R5 will present itself as a hyper compact electric city car. You just have to look at the tiny, tiny overhang, to understand that we should not expect a monstrous chest.

Unfortunately, the photographers behind these indiscreet images could not sufficiently approach the vehicle to capture the passenger compartment. We will have to reach other R5 outputs to find out more about this.
