All-new Renault R5 Prototype at Paris Motor Show 2022
- 2 years ago
Comeback for a legend: In 2021, the Renault 5 Prototype study quotes the cult car of the same name from the 1970s and at the same time takes a look at the future of the brand. The concept vehicle with the reinterpreted, iconic R5 design shows how Renault will democratize the electric car in Europe and make it desirable.
The Renault 5 Prototype presented in 2021 is not only clearly recognizable as a direct descendant of the legendary Renault 5 by its name. The designers also succeeded in reinterpreting the design language of the original presented in 1972. The study cites the unmistakable optical characteristics of the classic without appearing "retro". Characteristics are the closed front with the illuminated rhombus and the illuminated "Renault" lettering in the lower apron. This is framed by square LED daytime running lights with an integrated "5". Where the sporty air inlet used to be on the bonnet, the flap for connecting the charging cable is now hidden.
