The 5 E-Tech doesn't have to be Renault's core B-segment model, which frees it up to be innovative and rather unique. The look has a design longevity that the French maker thinks could last decades, much like the Fiat 500 or the MINI. While the styling of its Clio showroom stablemate must continually change with the times, the 'cinq' doesn't necessarily have to.
Whether it will 'democratise electric technology in Europe' as its maker hopes is debatable; Groupe Renault's far more affordable Dacia Spring EV is more likely to do that. But the 5 will play its part in encouraging a wider cross-section of customers to switch to EV. It's cute, it's different and it's the future - with a bit of the past thrown in.
