One of the most significant models introduced by Renault at the 2024 Geneva Motor Show was the resurrected nameplate of the Renault 5, which came as an EV-only affair.

In 1980, Renault introduced a special version of the Model 5 to compete in the World Rally Championship; it became the fastest car produced in France.

Back at the beginning of the '70s, the French carmakers provided two main options for the small segment: the Renault 4 and the Citroen 2CV. Then, in 1972, the R5 joined the pack and stirred the market.

In the early seventies, the French carmaker Renault offered a very attractive vehicle for the small-segment: The Five. It was the beginning of an unknown success.
