The Renault 5 is getting a freshen-up, with more range, a new entry-level battery, a handful of useful tech upgrades and, most eye-catching of all, a new set of gold wheels that give the little electric hatchback more than a hint of one of Renault’s greatest hits.
Choose the gold-finish Techno wheels with Midnight Blue paint and there’s a definite whiff of Clio Williams about it. The original Clio Williams hot hatches of the 1990s became icons, created when Renault was supplying engines to the Williams Formula 1 team, and the blue-and-gold combination is still one of the most recognisable Renault looks around.
