The 1961 Renault 4 revolutionised the automotive market and went on to achieve emblematic status.
It was Renault’s first family car with a front-mounted engine, and had no transmission tunnel so its floor was flat.
It became the par-excellence roomy and resourceful car for driving around cities and the countrywide, on weekdays and weekends, to work and on holidays.
It was a car for its time and place, and fit right into a society in flux.
And it was an overnight hit: it became a people’s-choice car in more than 100 countries and Renault went on to produce over 8 million Renault 4 cars.
Renault 4 E-Tech electric is as versatile as its predecessor.
And, like it, right for its day: it is all-electric, instantly endearing and up to the minute.
It is 4.14 metres long and the perfect B-segment stablemate for the 3.92-metre-long Renault 5.
It uses the same AmpR Small platform, the underpinning engineered for best-in-class indoor space and uncompromising agility and comfort.
Renault 4 E-Tech electric will be made in Maubeuge, France, and reach dealerships in 2025.
