Renault 5 UK reviews are coming soon. The UK press have them at the moment but are under embargo.

I've got this from AutoPap on X and the photos below have been shared on there too:
I cannot tell you how emotive the new Renault 5 is.

Proportions are perfect, drive sublime and the interior has just enough Va Va Voom to make you smile.

My verdict - buy one!
Review Roundup:

Here I round up the best I can find:

Auto Express:
Yes, the latest Renault 5 plays heavily on nostalgia, and to some, the retro design might tread a little too closely to pastiche, but there’s so much joy in this little package that it’s impossible not to be impressed.

Auto Car:
The Renault 5 is a successful reinvention of a small car icon for the electric era. I really like it and its approach: a car that values comfort and good road manners but is still desirable, and without the need to be overbearingly sporty.

Top Gear:
The R5’s not the first premium-retro EV. It shares with the Mini and Fiat 500 a knowing silhouette, lavish external jewellery and a smart, cheery cabin. But it’s bigger than a Fiat 500 and goes further, and it's more practical than the Mini and copes better with bumpy roads.

It's not the cheapest EV either. But looking at performance and range, it's right in the sweet spot, and the bi-directional charging could help subsidise you outlay.

Most of all it feels consistent: as charming to drive as it is to look at and to sit in. Your first love should last.

What Car:
The Renault 5 is a brilliant all-rounder that proves you don't need to spend big to go electric. We reckon the larger Comfort Range battery combined with mid-level Techno trim represents the best value for money.

Car:
It really is brilliant: Cheerful, easy and fun to drive, yet also comfortable, surprisingly useful and brilliant value. And all in a car that really does have presence on the road.

Electrifying:
The Renault 5 E-Tech might be a small car, but it packs a big punch. With its sporty looks and fun interior, an impressive range of technology fitted as standard across the range and a competitive price, it's the car to beat in the compact electric car class.

The embargo on reviews has been lifted today. The reviews were all very positive.
Looking forward to seeing/driving one when they arrive.
