The New Renault 5 Has A Massive Charge Indicator Light On The Hood

Much like the Renault brand itself, the Le Car, as it awkwardly named, is a distant memory for Americans. The French automaker withdrew from the US market in the late 1980s, while the R5 continued to be sold in other markets until the mid-1990s. However, the company is planning to bring it back to Europe in 2024. The final design details are being revealed ahead of its big debut at next year’s Geneva Motor Show on February 26.

The teasers provide a good look at the retro-flavored headlights and taillights, showing how the shape and appearance of the clusters have changed for the production model compared to the namesake prototype from early 2021. For those who don’t remember the prototype, a photo gallery has been attached at the bottom of this article. Additionally, another teaser reveals a section of the profile with creases reminiscent of the R5 Turbo hot hatch.
