Car of the Year Recreating iconic cars is
hardly a new idea. Fiat, Volkswagen and Mini did that before with
considerable success. However, what Renault does to the new R5 is a
step further, not just reimagining the old car but also transforming it
to an electric car. Clever design, right-sized battery and self
discipline ensure the R5 to be affordable and practical for its target
customers, yet desirable to look and sit inside. Best of all, it is
good to drive, so good that we would say
it is the first affordable EV that you don't buy it because of
government policies.
