"The Renault 5 is one of the best small electric cars you can buy. The modern reinvention of an iconic hatchback from the 1980s, it successfully blends everyday usability with a reasonably long range, fun driving character and a massive dose of retro charm. In fact, the dinky Renault is so accomplished a city car that it won the Urban Living category of the 2026 Carwow Car of the Year Awards."
