Prototype has lost show car’s camera door mirrors and flush handles, but appears to have retained the flared fenders car auto cars
Renault is resurrecting the 5 supermini as an EV for 2024, but while we’ve seen the concept car and a Clio-based test mule, we’ve never caught the real thing testing – until now.wearing the final body hard at work in a European mountain range, giving us our first opportunity to see how much of the show car’s pizzaz has been lost in the transition to a road car reality. And the answer, thankfully, seems to be not much.
Yes, the car is covered in trippy camouflage wrap so we can’t see some of the finer details, but the overall shape is the same, including the muscular fender flares that Renault could so easily have reserved for its. Even the unusual six-spoke alloy wheels, though painted black here, appear to be the same style as the ones worn by the yellow concept presented in 2021.
Building small EVs that are affordable but still turn a profit is tricky, so we’re not surprised to see that the show car’s camera-based door mirrors have been junked for regular glass ears. And we imagine cost considerations also forced Renault to ditch the concept’s flush front-door handles for more traditional mechanical pull types.
5 and also featured on the concept, they’ll certainly be making an appearance for 2024, along with a connecting light bar.Under the skin, the new 5 rides on the CMF-B EV platform that will also be used on its Renault 4 crossover brother and Nissan Micra EV.
Power will come from a single 134 hp electric motor driving the front wheels and the 5 should be good for up to 249 miles of range from an available 52 kWh battery pack, though base case will only get 40 kWh. It will land in European showrooms starting next year priced from less than €25,000 , and will soon find itself battling VW’s ID.2. Which would you buy?
