Renault continues to embrace its roots while advancing into the future. The 2025 Renault 4 E-Tech, positioned as a B-segment fully electric crossover, captivates with its retro-inspired design, AmpR Small platform, and impressive range of up to 400 kilometers.
A Blend of Modern Tech and Retro Vibes

Following the city-friendly electric Renault 5, the legendary Renault 4 returns as a fully electric crossover. This new model made its debut at the 2024 Paris Motor Show, attracting considerable attention.
The Renault 4 E-Tech beautifully carries the legacy of the original 1961 model into the present. It features a front fascia with an illuminated logo and circular headlights embedded in a sleek black panel. The classic rear door design, openable panoramic fabric sunroof, and rear styling elements evoke a sense of nostalgia. Meanwhile, the use of black plastic accents on the bumpers and fenders aligns with contemporary crossover design trends.

It boasts a 10.1-inch digital instrument cluster and a 10-inch multimedia screen, offering cutting-edge technology. The illuminated Renault 4 logo on the passenger side adds a nostalgic touch to the modern cabin. Fabric upholstery is used extensively throughout the interior, and the simple design of the center console reminds occupants of the vehicle’s retro roots. Additionally, the rear compartment provides a generous 420 liters of cargo space.
