Renault 4 E‑Tech Electric – The Icon Reimagined

A Legacy Reborn in Electric Form

The Renault 4 E‑Tech electric revives the spirit of the classic Renault 4, transforming the beloved 1960s icon into a modern, fully electric B‑segment crossover SUV. Built on the brand‑new AmpR Small electric platform (shared with the Renault 5 E‑Tech), it offers efficiency and affordability with significantly reduced production costs.

Retro Design Meets Modern Innovation

Classic cues—such as trapezoidal rear windows, sculpted door sills and a three‑part rear‑light design—are updated with contemporary flair. A standout detail is the single 1.45 m illuminated front grille surrounding the Renault logo. Roof bars (and even a full‑length retractable fabric roof called Plein Sud™) add a rugged, open‑air feel while offering genuine practicality and character.

Spacious, Flexible & Tech‑Savvy Interior

Measuring about 4.14 m long with a 2.62 m wheelbase, the R4 E‑Tech is larger than the R5 and designed for maximum interior comfort. Rear passengers benefit from 16.4 cm legroom and up to 85.3 cm headroom, rare in its segment.
Practical features include:

• A 420‑litre boot space with low-loading sill (610 mm) and 35 litre underfloor storage
• Fold-flat rear bench and first-ever flat‑folding front passenger seat for carrying long items
• Integrated hooks and storage for secure cargo management.
  Cabin tech includes a horizontal dual‑screen layout with Google‑built infotainment, voice‑controlled Reno assistant (leveraging ChatGPT), and wireless Apple CarPlay/Android Auto support.

Powertrain & Charging Capabilities

Two powertrain options are offered:

• 40 kWh battery + ~120 hp motor, ~300 km range (WLTP)
• 52 kWh battery + ~150 hp motor, up to ~247 miles (400 km), 0–62 mph in ~8.2 s
  Fast DC charging up to 100 kW delivers 15–80% in ~30–40 minutes, and 11 kW AC charging refills the battery overnight in around 4½ hours .

Smart Energy Features

The car supports bidirectional charging (V2L & V2G), enabling it to power devices or feed energy back into the grid—with V2G rollout initially available in France. One‑Pedal driving, adjustable regen modes (via steering‑wheel paddles), and Renault’s OpenR Link with Mobilize services deliver convenience and efficiency.

Safety & Driving Assistance

Standard and optional features across trim levels include:

• Adaptive Cruise Control with Stop & Go, lane‑centering assist
• Blind‑spot monitoring, My Safety Shield personalized settings
• Rear occupant safe‑exit alert, hands‑free parking
• Extended Grip traction control and increased ground clearance (~181 mm) for light off‑road use.

Trim Options & Pricing

Three trim levels—Evolution, Techno, Iconic—offer a range of features from comfort essentials to enhanced tech and styling touches. Base prices in the UK are approximately:

• Evolution (150 hp): £26,995
• Techno: £28,995
• Iconic: £30,995
  Each adds progressively more convenience, infotainment, and design flair.

Why Renault 4 E‑Tech Stands Out

• Effortless retro-futuristic styling paying homage to a beloved original
• A modular, ultra-practical interior designed for real‑world needs
• Competitive electric range and fast-charging for daily use
• Advanced EV tech, including bidirectional energy, one‑pedal driving and Google-connected infotainment
• Accessible mainstream pricing with strong value proposition

The Renault 4 E‑Tech electric reinvented a French icon for the modern era—combining nostalgia, utility, and technology into a versatile, family-friendly EV that's ready to go beyond the beaten track.
