Renault 4 E-Tech was unveiled at the Paris Motor Show in electrified form. The new vehicle is a modern twist on a classic.
Renault is eager to demonstrate the visual continuity from the old classic to the new Renault 4 E-Tech. The EV shares the same twin round headlamps and sloping boot design.
There are even easily replaceable plastic bumper caps for those bumper taps that occur when parking in cramped Parisian spaces. All variants include at least 18-inch wheels.
The Renault 4 was a versatile vehicle, capable of serving as both a weekend automobile for four people and their luggage and a compact town car during the week.
Renault 4 E-Tech Details
The E-Tech will be available in front-wheel drive only (no word on a four-wheel drive variant), with two battery and powerplant options. The vehicle features a 40 kWh battery with a WLTP range of 186 miles and a 120 horsepower electric motor capable of accelerating from 0-62 mph in 11 seconds. The vehicle features a 52 kWh battery with a range of 249 miles and a 150 horsepower motor capable of reaching 62 mph in under 8.5 seconds.
Both batteries have 11 kW AC charging and either 80 kW (40 kWh battery) or 100 kW (larger battery) DC charging, with a 15%-80% charge time of 30 minutes. There is bidirectional charging and vehicle-to-load support.
Inside, there is a 10-inch center console and a separate driver display. The Renault 4 E-Tech runs the openR link system, which includes Google and ChatGPT interface.
Above the chairs is a massive opening roof known as the Plain Sud canvas roof. The backyard features a 14.8 ft³ trunk.
