Chinese language EV maker Nio has launched its price range model Firefly, set to tackle cut-price electrical vehicles like the brand new Renault 5, Hyundai Inster, Citroen e-C3 and BYD Dolphin.
Though Nio has confirmed that Firefly will come to Europe – to be bought alongside Nio fashions already on sale on the continent – there are presently no plans for any Nio fashions to be bought within the UK.

The primary Firefly mannequin, which takes the model identify relatively than having a separate mannequin identify, was designed in Nio’s design studio in Munich and has gone on sale in China priced on the equal of £16,140.
The compact, curvy, five-door Firefly appears to be like just like the short-lived Honda-e proportionally, and will get a equally cute look with triple round headlights and tail lights, a glass roof and additional cupboard space in a frunk beneath the bonnet.
The Firefly identify comes from fireflies, unsurprisingly sufficient. In response to Nio, the Firefly is “small, agile and buzzing with power, symbolizing freedom to maneuver and being completely different. The model brand represents a flying and glowing firefly illustrating the model’s spirit: freedom to glow. The model DNA of firefly is vivid to create optimistic feelings and lasting impressions, considerate with logic and goal, and strong to convey belief and confidence.”
The Firefly has been engineered to get a five-star Euro NCAP crash check ranking (Nio)
No additional technical data has been launched on the Firefly, aside from it has been engineered to five-star Euro NCAP crash check requirements. It’s unlikely that it’s going to get the costly battery-swap know-how of dearer Nio and Onvo fashions.
Firefly launched at this 12 months’s annual Nio day held in Guangzhou, China, with the theme “Collectively & Additional”. Together with the brand new Firefly mannequin, Nio unveiled its flagship ET9 mannequin.
In addition to the revolutionary battery-swap system and superior chassis and electrical applied sciences, the ET9 includes a two sq. meter mild carpet that welcomes house owners as they enter the automotive. The manager seating system has practically two sq. meters of full-area heating, and a 16-point scorching stone therapeutic massage perform.
Nio is part-owned by CYVN, an funding arm of the Abu Dhabi sovereign wealth fund, which additionally owns British luxurious EV startup ForSeven – headed by former JLR government Nick Collins – and has just lately purchased British supercar maker McLaren Automotive. Nio additionally has an engineering base within the UK.
Nonetheless, regardless of studies linking Nio’s Onvo model with coming to the UK – thanks partially to the dearth of hefty tariffs on Chinese language car imports into the UK in contrast with Europe – these studies have been dismissed and there are presently no plans to deliver Nio, Onvo or Firefly fashions to the UK.

Chan eil ath-thòiseachadh an-còmhnaidh soirbheachail. Tha ath-chruthachadh sàr-mhath BMW air Mini air a bhith air leth soirbheachail, agus dh’ fhaodadh tu an aon rud a ràdh airson an Fiat 500. Ach daolag Volkswagen an latha an-diugh? Cha do rinn sin cho math.
Tha e coltach gu bràth bho chaidh an 2021 fhoillseachadh Renault 5, ach trì bliadhna an dèidh sin tha sinn mu dheireadh air an dreach riochdachaidh air rathaidean na RA a stiùireadh – agus tha e sgoinneil. Airson a h-uile toileachas timcheall a ’chàir, chan eil e foirfe, ach tha aibidh an draibhidh, le turas comhfhurtail, agus an cothlamadh de stoidhle retro le teicneòlas an latha an-diugh a-staigh a’ dèanamh an 5 ùr gu math tarraingeach, gu sònraichte aig prìs tòiseachaidh de £ 22,995. Airson na tha e a’ tabhann, bidh e a’ dèanamh EVan buidseit eile mar an Hyundai Inster agus Citroen e-C3 coimhead daor.
Tha sinn a’ faireachdainn nach eil an taisbeanadh buileach a’ freagairt air pizzazz stoidhle a’ chàir – chan eil e gu sònraichte sgiobalta. Is dòcha gu bheil sin air sgàth gu bheil Renault a’ cumail a phùdar tioram airson an teas Alpach A290a tha stèidhichte air an 5 ùr agus a’ leantainn nan slighean gu math luath.
Bha tòrr fuaim gaoithe fhathast aig a’ chàr deuchainn againn san RA air an rathad mòr, bidh na breicichean a’ faireachdainn rud beag grèim air an toiseach agus a’ toirt beagan cleachdte ris, fhad ‘s a tha beagan foibles ann le cuid de na smachdan a-staigh – an inneal-roghnachaidh gèar gnàthaichte, mar eisimpleir, as urrainn dhut a chleachdadh airson draibheadh, cùl no neodrach, ach chan eil roghainn pàirce ann. Feumaidh tu neodrach a thaghadh agus dèanamh cinnteach gun cuir thu am breic pàircidh an sàs. Tha an neach-taghaidh cuideachd mar aon de thrì stalks air taobh deas na cuibhle stiùiridh làn sluaigh.
Ach leis a’ phrìs tòiseachaidh sin nas lugha na £23,000, a’ tighinn gu bàrr aig nas lugha na £29,000, le tòrr fheartan spòrsail a ghabhas cleachdadh a-staigh agus a-muigh, agus le àite iomchaidh airson càr fo-ceithir meatair a dh’fhaid le fìor fhaireachdainn càr mòr, cha bhitheamaid. t cuir a’ choire ort beagan ma thuiteas tu ann an gaol leis an Renault 5 ùr agus gum feum thu concern a cheannach.
Mar a rinn sinn deuchainn
Chruinnich sinn 5 ùr bho phrìomh oifis Renault ann an Siorrachd Hertford agus chuir sinn seachad latha a’ draibheadh a’ chàr air rathaidean air a bheil sinn eòlach san Ear-dheas agus timcheall air. Ghabh sinn a-steach an M25 agus mòr-rathaidean eile, a bharrachd air rathaidean A- agus B agus dhràibh sinn timcheall bailtean is bailtean beaga far an do thionndaidh an 5 uimhir de chinn ’s a rinn e nuair a chaidh a’ chàr a chuir air bhog an toiseach ann an ceann a deas na Frainge. Fhuair sinn cuideachd an teaghlach an sàs gus sùil a thoirt air an àite a-staigh agus dè an ìre de stuth as urrainn dhut a chuir a-steach don bhot.
Tha an hatchback Renault 5 còig-doras, còig-suidheachain ri fhaighinn ann an còig dathan (Renault)
Ìre neo-eisimeileach: 9/10
Nithean matha: Dràibheadh comhfhurtail, teicneòlas sa chàr, seun retro
Ana-cothrom: Tha dìth pizzazz air an taobh a-muigh ann an coileanadh, fuaim gaoithe, breicichean grèim
Raon prìsean: £22,995 gu £28,995
Meud bataraidh: 40 & 52kWh
An raon tagraidh as àirde: 250 mìle
Mìle sa kWh: 4.17
Ìre cosgais as àirde: 100kW
Cosgais cosgais gach 100 mìle air E.ON Subsequent Drive: £1.61
Bataraidh, raon, cosgais, coileanadh agus draibheadh
An toiseach, cha tèid ach bataraidh 52kWh a thabhann le prìs tòiseachaidh dualtach beagan nas lugha na £ 27,000. Thig na dreachan bataraidh 40kWh as saoire air-loidhne goirid às deidh sin.
Thèid na càraichean bataraidh as motha airson timcheall air 250 mìle aig a’ char as àirde; na modalan bataraidh nas lugha suas gu timcheall air 190 mìle. Chan eil figearan sam bith dona an taca ri càraichean baile-mòr den aon mheud agus aig a bheil prìs. Sheall na deuchainnean againn ann an aimsir fhuar san RA gu robh na tagraidhean raoin sin reusanta reusanta.
Tha ìrean cosgais luath meadhanach math cuideachd – 100kW agus 80kW airson na bataraidhean 52kWh agus 40kWh fa leth, a’ ciallachadh cosgais 20 gu 80 sa cheud ann an timcheall air 30 mionaidean. Agus mar roghainn, faodaidh tu cosgais dà-stiùiridh carbad-gu-clèithe (V2G) a bhith agad, gus am faodadh bataraidh do chàr do dhachaigh a ruith aig àm gearradh cumhachd.
Is e an 5 a’ chiad chàr a chleachd an àrd-ùrlar AmpR Small EV aig Renault Group agus bidh e a’ faighinn crochadh cùil ioma-cheangail, a lorgar mar as trice air càraichean nas motha agus nas daoire. Bidh e a’ cuideachadh le bhith a’ toirt sùbailteachd sàr-mhath dha na 5 tro chnapan-starra agus troimh-chèile reusanta thairis air rathaidean cnapach Bhreatainn – tha e a’ faireachdainn mar chàr nas motha agus nas aibidh airson a dhràibheadh.
Chan eil beagan den fhactar spòrsail a dh ’fhaodadh tu a lorg ann am Mini, gu h-àraidh air sgàth gu bheil an luathachadh dìreach a’ faireachdainn beagan blunted. Chan eil ùine 0-62msu de ochd diogan cho math san t-saoghal EV website positioning. Agus chan eil faicsinneachd cho math sin nas motha – tha an uinneag-gaoithe aghaidh gu math eu-domhainn, mar a tha an scrion cùil. Bidh camarathan a’ cuideachadh nuair a bhios iad a’ pàirceadh, ach tha an rùn agus càileachd nan ìomhaighean aca, gu sònraichte a’ chamara chùil, gu math ìosal.
Tha na breicichean, a tha airson nas urrainn dhut de lùth a chuir a-steach don bhataraidh, rud beag geur nuair a thig thu gu stad a’ ciallachadh gun toir stadan slaodach, socair cleachdte.
Taobh a-staigh, practaigeach agus àite bròg
Ma tha thu dèidheil air an t-sealladh retro air an taobh a-muigh, le comharra cosgais glic air a chuir suas le bonaidean far am b’ àbhaist do inneal-adhair an t-seann chàr a bhith, còrdaidh an taobh a-staigh riut cuideachd.
Tha nodan air an 5 tùsail leis na suidheachain bucaid 5 Turbo seann-sgoile ann an cumadh H a tha comhfhurtail agus taiceil, agus an sgeilp deas-bhòrd stiallach, padded air thoiseach air an neach-siubhail.
Ach tha na scrionaichean càraid 10-òirleach ùraichte, mar a tha na roghainnean clò-bhuailte 3D gnàthaichte airson stòradh an ionaid eadar na suidheachain aghaidh agus eadhon airson an neach-taghaidh gèar. Tha Renault an dùil raon farsaing de rudan roghainneil dathte, clò-bhuailte 3D a thabhann, agus tha eadhon neach-gleidhidh baguette ann a tha ceangailte ri consol an ionaid agus a tha air a bhith mòr-chòrdte am measg ro-òrdughan Frangach, tha an neach-dèanamh ag ràdh. Tha càileachd an taobh a-staigh air leth math airson càr cho beag le prìs mhath cuideachd.
Tha àite sa chùl nas fheàrr na bhiodh dùil agad ann an càr baile mòr, le taic bho làr còmhnard, ach bidh e teann airson inbhich nas àirde mura tèid na suidheachain aghaidh a tharraing beagan air adhart. Chan eil stòradh anns na dorsan cùil, ge-tà, agus chan eil àite anns na dorsan aghaidh gu sònraichte fialaidh, nas motha.
Tha bròg 326-liotair fìor mhath don chlas, ge-tà, ged a tha ruigsinneachd math agus tha àite stòraidh a bharrachd fon làr bròg airson na càbaill cosgais.
Tha an taobh a-staigh làn de charactar le teicneòlas làn-amalaichte (Renault)
Teicneòlas, stereo agus infotainment
Tha dà scrion deich-òirleach crùbach agus soilleir nan suidhe gu ìre mhath àrd air an deas-bhòrd, agus tha iad a’ toirt suidheachadh ùr-nodha dha na seallaidhean retro ann an àiteachan eile sa chaban.
Is e am feart marbhadh gu bheil Google air a thoirt a-steach do infotainment Android Automotive, a ’toirt cothrom dhut do bheatha Google (agus an dachaigh) a shioncronachadh leis a’ chàr agad. Tha 50 aplacaid ann cuideachd airson cluich leotha, a bharrachd air Spotify airson sruthadh ciùil, Google Maps airson seòladh agus Neach-taic Google airson smachd guth, le taic bho neach-cuideachaidh didseatach Reno aig Renault fhèin, leis an avatar aige fhèin.
Faodaidh tu Apple CarPlay a chleachdadh ma thogras tu (uèir no gun uèir, agus tha Android Auto ann), fhad ‘s a tha ceap cosgais gun uèir feumail na shuidhe fo scrion an ionaid.
Gheibhear làn shreath de ghnìomhan smachd gnàth-shìde tron sgrion, ach obraich gu sìmplidh, agus tha suidsichean toggle corporra air an deas-bhòrd airson atharrachadh teothachd agus astar luchd-leantainn gun dragh.
Gu mì-fhortanach, chan eil prìomh roghainn claisneachd ann agus an stereo àbhaisteach cha bhiodh sinn a’ meas ach mar sin.
Prìsean agus cosgaisean ruith
Tha prìsean an 5 a’ sealltainn gu bheil an tagradh aige a’ dol nas fhaide na na coltas grinn sin. Airson càileachd, cromag agus raon, tha e coltach ri luach mòr, le prìs tòiseachaidh de £ 22,995. Dh ’fhaodadh an raon tarraingeach de dhhathan obair-bodhaig (buidhe, uaine, gorm, dubh is geal) agus grafaigean mullaich – 200 measgachadh gu h-iomlan, arsa Renault – a’ phrìs a phutadh suas beagan, ge-tà.
Sheall an t-slighe mheasgaichte againn èifeachdas a thàinig faisg air an tagradh 4.17 mìle gach kWh de chumhachd bataraidh, a’ ciallachadh gum bu chòir raon 200-mìle-plus a bhith furasta faighinn thuige.

Ceistean Cumanta
Dè cho fada ’s a bheir e cosgais?
Bu chòir an dà roghainn bataraidh, air charger luath, a bhith math airson cosgais 20 gu 80 sa cheud ann an timcheall air 30 mionaidean, aig ìre as àirde de 80kW airson a ’bhataraidh 40kWh agus 100kW airson a’ bhataraidh 52kWh.
Dè a chosgas e – an fhiach e e?
A’ tòiseachadh aig £ 22,995 agus a’ dol suas gu beagan nas lugha na £ 28,995 (a bharrachd air roghainnean) – agus nas ìsle na prìs tòiseachaidh an Mini Cooper E – chanadh sinn gur e luach mòr a th’ anns an Renault 5. Ach bi mothachail gum bi cuid de na roghainnean gnàthaichte agus teicneòlas carbad-gu-clèithe a ‘putadh a’ phrìs suas.
A bheil Renault a’ dol an àite bataraidhean an-asgaidh?
Bidh na bataraidhean a’ tighinn le làn bharantas ochd bliadhna, fhad ‘s a tha an càr air a chumail suas gu ceart rè na h-ùine sin
Co-dhùnadh: Renault 5
Às deidh dhuinn an càr a dhràibheadh san RA, is urrainn dhuinn dearbhadh gu bheil an Renault 5 ùr na chàr math airson draibheadh agus spòrsail a bhith a’ fuireach leis. Tha e air leth tarraingeach a-nis, ach chan eil sinn cinnteach fhathast am bi seun retro fhathast a’ faireachdainn cho ùr ann am bliadhna no dhà.
The enduring Renault 5 Turbo will return as a high-powered electrical sizzling hatch, the French firm has confirmed.
As first reported completely by The Impartial earlier this 12 months, Renault has now confirmed it’s getting ready a manufacturing model of its wild R5 Turbo 3E idea.
Introduced as we speak and revealed within the ultimate moments of a brand new Prime Video documentary collection about Renault’s current company turnaround, the automobile will likely be rear-wheel-drive, with a pair of electrical motors producing 500 bhp – 4 occasions that of the usual Renault 5 E-Tech. That’s sufficient to launch the electrical sizzling hatch to 62mph in 3.5 seconds, the corporate says. That’s considerably faster than the usual Renault 5’s time of 8.0 seconds.
Talking concerning the potential for an electrical Renault sizzling hatch, Renault Group CEO Luca De Meo advised The Impartial in October: “Yeah, that’s the longer term. I’m looking for a means.”
The automobile will possible price within the area of £100,000 to £150,000 (Renault)
And located a means he has. Alpine, Renault’s hard-working Method One race crew, has already produced a extra performance-focused model of the Renault 5 known as the Alpine A290, however the newly introduced manufacturing model 5 Turbo will likely be unmistakably a Renault. Proper all the way down to the yellow paintwork.
Launching in 1980, the unique Renault 5 Turbo has all the time been thought to be an iconic sizzling hatchback. Designed primarily for rallying – though road-legal variations had been additionally bought to the general public – the 5 Turbo swapped the usual automobile’s front-engined, front-wheel-drive setup for a mid-mounted, turbocharged engine that changed the again seats and powered the rear wheels.
The 5 Turbo’s non secular successor was the Clio V6, which adopted the identical recipe of taking a wise metropolis automobile and turning it right into a high-performance, two-seat sports activities automobile. Extra lately, Renault revealed the R5 Turbo 3E, an idea automobile that teased the thought of an electrical Renault 5 Turbo.
Pictures of the manufacturing model of the Renault 5 Turbo 3E present a retro-futuristic automobile that shares its fundamental kind with the usual 5. Nevertheless it additionally incorporates a a lot wider physique and large air intakes forward of the rear wheels, identical to its predecessors. Boxy wheel arches additionally hark again to the unique 5 Turbo, whereas the rear incorporates a pair of Gurney flap-style rear wings on the boot lid, and a outstanding rear diffuser jutting outwards from the bumper. One other element is how the charging socket is in one of many rear air scoops.
Renault says the 5 Turbo can dash to 62mph in 3.5s (Renault)
Renault hasn’t shared any inside imagery, however the brand new automobile could be noticed on the finish of the fourth and ultimate episode of Renault’s new Prime Video documentary collection, known as Anatomy of a Comeback and streaming from as we speak, 13 December.
Having two electrical motors as a substitute of 1 means the brand new Renault 5 Turbo 3E ought to profit from true torque vectoring, the place the ability and torque delivered to every rear wheel could be exactly managed, maximising each agility and stability.
Whereas now we have praised the usual Renault 5 E-Tech for its low pricing, which begins at £22,995, the 5 Turbo 3E is anticipated to be considerably dearer when it arrives within the subsequent 12 months or so. We suspect it might price within the area of £125,000. Though Renault hasn’t mentioned but, the carbon-bodied automobile is anticipated to be in-built comparatively small numbers – possible fewer than the circa-5,000 examples of first- and second-generation 5 Turbos constructed within the eighties.
