BRITISH design. Renault 5 bones.
The big battery Micra was only confirmed yesterday, so this is hot off the press.
Renault will also make small EVs for Ford in the future. Fiesta and Ka?
FORD PUMA GEN-E

WE like the way it looks. We like the way it drives.

LOTS to like here. Made in Britain. Engineered in Britain. 2026 World Car of the Year finalist.
It’s a proper long-distance family motor – Google tech, roomy cabin and a comfy ride.
RENAULT 4
- Price: £23,445.
- Finance: £249pm
- Battery: 52kWh
- Range: 250 miles
Bigger and more practical than a Renault 5 – yet also cheaper.
The boot sill is low and flat like the Sixties original, so it’s better for dogs. Canvas sunroof? Yes, please.

Just needs a pink and blue paint job like the F1 car.
MINI COUNTRYMAN E
- Price: £29,255.
- Finance: £319pm

THIS XXL-sized Mini is bigger than a Range Rover Evoque. So, it’s a whopper. But also proper.
Classy interior, OLED screen, knitted recycled materials, sliding rear seats.
FORD E-TOURNEO COURIER
- Price: £30,660.
- Finance: £345pm
- Battery: 43kWh.
