The 1961 Renault 4 was the firm’s first family car with a front-mounted engine, and had no transmission tunnel so its floor was flat. Renault 4 E-Tech 100% electric promises to be as versatile as its predecessor, and at 4.14 metres long, represents a B-segment stablemate for the 3.92-metre-long Renault 5.

Renault 4 E-Tech 100% electric uses the same AmpR Small platform, and will be made in Maubeuge, France, and reach the retailer network in 2025.

Renault has revealed a few snapshots of its exterior design, ahead of the official unveiling on 14 October at the Paris Motor Show. These images focus on different aspects of the design, which include a retractable fabric roof.

UK customers who are keen to be at the front of the queue for Renault 4 E-Tech 100% electric will be able to sign up to the same ordering and delivery fast track as that first launched with Renault 5 E-Tech 100% electric. Final details will be announced when the R4 R Pass opens.
