Steve CropleyHOST
And I was glad.
Steve CropleyHOST
It sort of feels like a bit of a fight back, like the Renault 5.
Matt PriorHOST
Yeah, that's quite encouraging.
Matt PriorHOST
Yeah.

MG has confirmed that it will build its upcoming electric GO supermini at a new factory built by parent firm SAIC in Spain from 2028.
speaker_3NARRATOR
Unveiled at this summer's Goodwood Festival of Speed, the MG GO is the Sino-British firm's answer to the likes of the Renault 5 and the Mini Cooper Electric.
speaker_3NARRATOR
When it debuts towards the end of 2027, the MG GO is expected to be priced from around £20,000.
speaker_3NARRATOR
Initial cars will be built at one of SAIC's Chinese factories before production switches to SAIC's new site in the Spanish port city of Farol in the northwest of the country towards the end of 2028.
George EastHOST
This is genuinely astonishing.
George EastHOST
So their little AX2, which is a really, really sweet little supermini, answered to their likes of the Renault 5, Citroen EC3, VW ID Polo, Hyundai Ioniq 3, right? That has been in production since the end of, well, since October 2024.
George EastHOST
So two years in production.
George EastHOST
They have just built their millionth one of them.
Jonny SmithGUEST
But biggers can't be choosers.
Jonny SmithGUEST
I've got a Renault 5 as well, which is so much more fun to drive around back roads.
Jonny SmithGUEST
But, yeah, I've driven EVs daily now, I think, since about 2016, 2015.
Jonny SmithGUEST
Nice.
Jonny SmithGUEST
And then they've just casually gone, oh, yeah, we're going to bring it back, but it's going to be electric.
Jonny SmithGUEST
Yeah.
Jonny SmithGUEST
And of course, Renault 5 giving its underpinnings to that.
Jonny SmithGUEST
Yes.
Jonny SmithHOST
And there was a lot of wow factor to it because people were saying, oh, it's the T16.
Jonny SmithHOST
But I have to say, the more I looked at it, the more I just went, It's just not as cool as the Renault 5 Turbo 3e, which is actually a finished production car that you can buy and they're making it.
Jonny SmithHOST
So I was like...
Jonny SmithHOST
So they are very late.

Richard PorterHOST
Just leave it.
Richard PorterHOST
I never want to get
Jonny SmithHOST
into my Renault 5 and go, I wish it had the greeting door handle.
Jonny SmithHOST
I wish it did, but the Tesla obviously does have the greeting door handle, and all I'm doing is waiting for them to break.
Martyn LeeHOST
Mr. Provost said Nissan's Micra.
Martyn LeeHOST
should have stood further apart from the Renault 5 on which it's based.
Martyn LeeHOST
Shared engineering doesn't have to mean it looks the same as our best-selling car.
Martyn LeeHOST
Thanks, Nissan! And they'd like future partners to make the cars look less like Renault's, please.
Martyn LeeHOST
Renault can't stop selling cars at the moment.
Martyn LeeHOST
In fact, the little Renault 5 is so much in demand.
Martyn LeeHOST
Renault 4 is also a great car.
Martyn LeeHOST
as well.
Sam McClaryHOST
This is a conversation that starts with the dream of a lotus, but ends with the realisation that sometimes...
Sam McClaryHOST
A simple Renault 5 or even a 2CV is quite sufficient.
Sam McClaryHOST
Confused? I promise you won't be if you're listening.
Sam McClaryHOST
Now there's an intro you weren't expecting.

John WrightGUEST
The Porsche Taycan is an amazing piece of engineering, but we can't, we don't all need one, we can't all afford one.
John WrightGUEST
And actually a more ordinary functional electric car, I think pre...
Sam McClaryHOST
The new Renault 5, that's very nice, isn't it?
John WrightGUEST
Absolutely, yeah.
Martyn LeeHOST
So that's cheaper than the MG4 EV Urban.
Martyn LeeHOST
That's Renault 5 territory and Renault 5 can't stop selling at the moment.
Martyn LeeHOST
Autocar magazine reporting that the production car will keep the Go name expected to share the MG4 Urban's front wheel drive platform.
Martyn LeeHOST
Battery 43 kilowatt hour.
Martyn LeeHOST
And that's going to be a less than 20k car.
Martyn LeeHOST
So right up against the Renault 5.
Martyn LeeHOST
The parent company SAIC will even make it in Spain from late 2028.
Martyn LeeHOST
Annual capacity of 70,000 vehicles.
GinoHOST
Where do we go next?
CalebHOST
While we're in Europe, and to kind of bring it back to cars in the close of a loop here on my tax complaints, the thing that sparked this complaint is me looking to see what it would take to bring a new Renault 5 into Brazil.
JustinHOST
The electric one? The
CalebHOST
electric one.
27 MINS LATER
JustinHOST
I didn't even know they make that.
JustinHOST
What the fuck?
CalebHOST
It's a Renault 5 with a body kit.
JustinHOST
I don't like...
