Renault 5
Reddit take
Not enough linked mention summaries yet; the source excerpts below are the evidence.
Pros
- god I wish we could have the Renault 5 or E-208 in the US. I'd have one immediately.
- Parent context: Inster should be the winner. Small affordable EV with good space inside. Reply: Small and affordable is both the Renault 5 and e-C3 as well though, so it's not unique in that aspect.
- Europe is now making the best ev’s at fantastic prices, Renault 5, doesn’t use Chinese supply chains or batteries and have reduced rare earths usage in the vehicle by 90%
- the North America markets needs kinda normal sized EVs like the Renault 5 (length: 3.9 metres) and the BYD Atto 3 (length: 4.5m)
- It’s honestly the most interesting EV that’s out there that looks good and is a proper hatchback.
Cons
- The Renault 5 is an amazing looking car, but a shitty electric one. The highway efficiency is terrible and people are going to use this car to justify electric cars not being a viable mainstream option. The software is terrible too
- Expected for Renault 5 but wondering why no Volvo EX30
- the Renault 5 can be sold here as the Nissan Micra due to their partnership.

But importantly long enough range that long distance could still be done if needed. I know of multible colleagues who are looking at the Renault 5 as a possible replacement for their old (ice) car nr2.
It’s a perfect car nr.2 or for a single person that doesn’t long distances regularly. Very nice design and interior quality compared to its competitors. And in the EU it’s competitively priced

Personally, I'd love a Renault 5 but having seen a Dolphin Surf in the flash I'm surprised what you get for the money.
