They have absolutely nailed it. It’s been a long time since I’ve seen such a positive reaction online to any car, let alone a woke, virtue signalling, child miner killing EV

It will probably be a total flop now
I'd like to drive one. If someone can crack making an EV that's genuinely fun to drive (like the very best small hatches), then they could get my money. The obsession with 0-60 times and SUV-looks is ruining most of them currently. Hopefully this one will be different.

yep, the late brake show review said it was a production ready car

and the massive screen that looks like it was rammed into the dash as an afterthought.
That interior would look so much nicer if they went for a more retro look with genuine clocks and dials.

just watched the car wow video and it shows just how little rear leg room there is.
Think it's a car for families with small kids...having small adults sat up front would help too.
We'll be looking for a small ish four door EV in a couple of years, and I just think this would be too small if you're wanting to have adults in the rear. Probably want something Curpa born or Volvo EX30 size (think both are a couple of hundred mm longer)..

We looked at a DS3 years ago and that was the same with zero rear leg room. It didn't stop them selling loads of the things though.
50,000 orders already 😯.

I don’t know why car makers just don’t build that 20k 5dr electric car with a 400 mile range, now. They can do it. Instead they just want to drip feed and maximise profits with big heavy lumps.
They’ve got a great brand. I hope it does well for them. Well done Renault.

Renault were flogging them for £35 at the Geneva motor show

But you’d have spent £150+ to get to Geneva in the first place!

Any indication of when you'll get to see the car?

Not yet sadly 😕
Oh I wasn’t trying to sound sarcy, I quite fancied one but they were definitely a premium

Very cool car. It's at London Kings Cross st. Pancras next to the Eurostar entrance too.

Porsche seem to think so.
That 5 does look cool as f**k tho.
Must have one of these buttons on it.

I think they will do pretty well, 22k seems fair compared to the 30k+ for all of the other non s**t/non Chinese alternatives.

I'm still not an EV believer but they have done a brilliant job with the interior as far as retro respins go

Give it a few months and with the current state of the ev market get new car discounts.

150hp seems a bit wanky? That’ll be pretty heavy i’d say?

These will fly out of the showroom I reckon. Well priced, decent spec, funky looks but not off the wall, they’ll be everywhere.
Makes the new mini look like a massively overpriced choice.

I called their original "it'll only cost £18,500" line as the BS that it was, but I'm surprised they've managed to get it to market as cheap as they have.
I think they'll sell well! They certainly deserve to.

About 1500kg with 181lbft of instant torque. It'll serve it's purpose well enough i think. The alpine is coming for those who want to go a little bit quick.
