The Renault 5’s sub-200 miles single-charge range is low and it is not much more spacious than its compact and bijou predecessor.
But as Ginny Buckley, the chief executive of Electrifying.com, the electric car buying and advice site, said: “Nothing has sparked as much conversation or genuine affection as the Renault 5 over the past six months.
“It’s a real crowd-pleaser that cuts through age and gender, appealing to an unusually broad mix of buyers. Renault has been clever enough to tap into a much-loved icon and reimagine it without turning it into a pastiche.”
