The all-new electric Renault 4 makes its Irish debut today (24th March) at the Renault Store in Dundrum Town Centre. It’s the second EV from Renault inspired by older Renault models, following on from the much-anticipated Renault 5.
The original Renault 4 was launched in the early sixties as a practical and affordable family car for the masses and this new electric version takes both design and practicality cues from it.
- Renault 4 E-Tech 100% electric offers versatility and everyday practicality in the B segment.
- References the original Renault 4 with a unique single piece illuminated grille, a modern reinvention of the three-part rear lights, and countless other touches.
- Extended 2.62m wheelbase for generous cabin space.
- Exceptional boot space of 420 litres complete with clever bag hooks and storage compartments – including a 35-litre underfloor area for the charging cable.
- Choice of 52 kWh battery with 150 hp motor and a WLTP range of up to 409 km, or 40 kWh battery and 120 hp motor with a WLTP range of 308 km with heat pump on both. The 11 kW AC bi-directional charger is combined with DC charging of 100 kW for the 52 kWh car and 80 kW for the 40 kWh car.
- Slightly bigger and roomier than Renault 5 E-Tech electric, Renault 4 E-Tech electric is targeting a broader audience, seeking to convert everyone to electric vehicles, including young families.
- The tailgate is bigger than it appears, an effect achieved by extending the door into the bumper for a bigger opening and lower load sill, in the same way as on the original Renault 4.
- Like its predecessor, the new-generation model also offers a plein sudTM opening canvas roof, which is now electric and can be opened with voice control to reveal an 80×92 cm view of the sky
- 18” wheels feature on all versions.
- Available in 7 stylish colours: Glacier White, Urban Grey, Starry Black, Carmine Red, Terracotta Brown, Hauts-de-France Green and Cloud Blue. A range of exterior personalisation options are also available for the roof, bonnet, wings and front and rear bumper stops. In the interior, the ambience of Renault 4 E-Tech electric varies with the finish.
- Packed with advanced comfort and safety technology, including Active Driver Assist for level 2 assisted driving, 26 driving aids, rear occupant safe exit alert, and My Safety Switch.
- The central 10-inch multimedia screen is standard with OpenR Link system with Google built-in well as Reno, the official Renault avatar, a new Chat GPT based everyday companion.
- The suspension has been optimised for a smoother, more comfortable ride for all occupants, while the steering system has been revised with a shorter ratio (14:5) and a tight turning circle of just 10.8m, perfect for city streets and easy driving.
- 11 kW AC bidirectional charger compatible with V2L (vehicle-to-load) and V2G (vehicle-to-grid) technologies. In this way, it can be transformed into an energy source and even become a player in the ecosystem by feeding carbon-free electricity back into the grid. Ireland currently has no energy tariffs suitable for V2G vars, but these will come, and the Renault 4 E-Tech electric is ready.
- Will be available in 3 trim levels – evolution, techno and iconic.
- Renault 4 E-Tech electric will be available to order for 252 registrations.
