The new Renault 5 Prototype at the 2022 Paris Motor Show

Comeback for a legend: In 2021, the Renault 5 Prototype study cites the cult car of the same name from the 1970s and at the same time takes a look into the future of the brand. The concept car with the reinterpreted, iconic R5 design shows how Renault will democratize the electric car in Europe and make it desirable. Unveiled in 2021, the Renault 5 Prototype is clearly recognizable as a direct descendant of the legendary Renault 5, and not just by its name. The designers also succeeded in reinterpreting the design language of the original presented in 1972. The study cites the unmistakable visual characteristics of the classic without appearing "retro". Features include the closed front with the illuminated rhombus and the "Renault" lettering in the lower apron, which is also illuminated. This is framed by square LED daytime running lights with integrated "5". Where the sporty air intake used to sit on the hood now hides the flap for connecting the charging cable.
