The Renault 5, a compact hatchback produced by the French automaker Renault from 1972 to 1996, was a revolutionary vehicle that redefined the small car segment. Introduced as a successor to the Renault 4, the Renault 5 was designed by Gaston Juchet with a focus on practicality, affordability, and fuel efficiency. Its sleek, modern styling, with its distinctive sloping front end and large, wrap-around rear window, was a departure from the boxy designs of its predecessors. The Renault 5 also offered a host of innovative features, including a spacious interior for its size, a front-wheel drive layout (borrowed from the Renault 12), and a variety of engine options, ranging from economical 1.1-liter to more powerful 1.7-liter units.
The Renault 5 proved incredibly popular throughout its 24-year production run, selling over 5.5 million units worldwide. It was lauded for its combination of practicality, affordability, and driving enjoyment, earning a loyal following across Europe. Several key variants contributed to its success, including the Renault 5 Turbo, a performance-focused model with a turbocharged engine and a distinctive "bump" on the hood, introducing the hot-hatch concept. The Renault 5 also found success in rallying, especially the Renault 5 Turbo, which became a legend in the sport. The Renault 5’s legacy lives on as a car that redefined the small-car market and paved the way for future generations of compact hatchbacks. Its mix of affordability, practicality, and driving enjoyment, along with its distinctive styling and sporty variants, made it a truly iconic car that remains popular even today.
