Renault took the wraps off the all-new 4 E-Tech at the Paris Auto Show, exactly two years after the previewing concept. The fully electric subcompact SUV serves as a “retro-futuristic reinvention” of the original Renault 4 from the ’60s, with a practicality-focused and budget-friendly nature.
The R4 E-tech shares 68 percent of its components with the R5 E-Tech, riding on the same AmpR Small architecture. However, it is a full 600 mm (23.6 inches) longer than the hatchback, stretching to 4,140 mm (163 inches) long. The larger footprint of the SUV allows more room for passengers inside the cabin, alongside 420 lt (14.8 cubic feet) of boot space.

The Renault 4 E-Tech will be available with two fully electric powertrains. The base version combines a 118 hp (88 kW / 120 PS) electric motor with a 40 kWh battery, offering 186 miles (300 km) of WLTP range. The other option marries a more potent 148 hp (110 kW / 150 PS) electric motor with a larger 52 kWh battery pack, expanding the range to 250 miles (402 km).
This is a developing story and will be updated.
