ROME (ITALPRESS) – A true icon, Renault 4 was born in the 1960s to meet the needs of a society in the midst of change, including rural exodus, the rise of the middle class and the new role of women. It was born as the car for everyone and everything, a symbol of freedom. Its story is a true success story, in France and around the world. So much so that, over the course of its career, it has done numbers never seen before. A total of 8,135,424 units have been sold on five continents and in more than a hundred countries over a period of thirty years; it is, therefore, the best-selling Renault model in the world. Produced in Europe (Belgium, Spain, etc.), Latin America (Argentina, Colombia, Peru, etc.), Africa (Algeria, Morocco, South Africa, etc.) and even Oceania, it is the fourth best-selling vehicle of all time. No wonder, then, that it has become an international cultural icon. A success that doesn’t faze Renault 4 E-Tech Electric.With Renault 4 E-Tech Electric, Renault once again reconfirms its desire to accelerate the energy transition on a European scale by democratizing electric vehicles. The Brand offers a range of 100% electric vehicles capable of meeting all needs and uses. Renault 4 E-Tech Electric finds its ideal place in the B-segment, just above Renault 5 E-Tech Electric. Slightly larger and more “bulky” than the latter, it ranks as Captur over Clio. While Renault 5 E-Tech Electric is aimed at a clientele that prefers a city car with sedan lines, Renault 4 E-Tech Electric has a broader vision and aims to convert all types of audiences to electric, including young families who prefer the lines and roominess of an SUV.There is one word that sums up the original Renault 4 in every way: versatility. Thirty years after the end of its “career,” this term is still relevant. That’s why Renault 4 E-Tech Electric, the fruit of Renaulution, enters Renault’s electric range as the vehicle for all needs. Its ambitious goal is clearly one expressed in the philosophy behind its design: to respond to as many customer uses as possible. It is designed for everyday commuting, as well as for weekend trips and leisure outings. Designed for solo driving, but also for family trips. Created for ample use of trunk volume. This legacy clearly comes to it from the R4, and like that of yesteryear, Renault 4 E-Tech Electric has chosen to look far ahead by setting itself a new horizon, to enable everyone to explore the wide variety of uses for electric vehicles. Seeing itself as the “blue-jeans” car of the 21st century, it can do it all: city, country, mountain and highway already eagerly await it. As proof of its versatility, first and foremost, Renault 4 E-Tech Electric offers the segment an unprecedented combination of trunk volume/modularity: 420-liter “cubes,” lower-than-ever cargo sill, ingenious storage compartments, a folding bench seat, a passenger seat that can be converted into a coffee table-a first for electric vehicles! – and much more. Regardless of the route, whether it is paved roads or rough trails, comfort is guaranteed thanks to the higher ground clearance and the advanced Extended Grip anti-skid system. All this performance, but also record-breaking roominess, low center of gravity, road holding, One Pedal function, and up to 400 km range have been made possible thanks to the dedicated AmpR Small platform, unique in Europe. Shared with Renault 5 E-tech Electric, it enabled many economies of scale, without compromising customers. In short, there is just enough to make Renault 4 E-Tech Electric the compact car you need to stay zen in heavy traffic, but also on long journeys. “With Renault 4 E-Tech Electric, Renault takes another step forward in the democratization of electric vehicles in Europe. This model completes an already extensive range that includes Megane, Scenic and the new Renault 5 E-Tech Electric. There has been a lack of a compact car with good space. And now there is, with a versatile, practical, modular model with a large trunk that is easy to load. A car that can adapt to all the uses of daily life. A popular electric car in step with the times, with the ultimate in useful technology and comfort,” says Fabrice Cambolive, CEO of the Renault Brand.
