Renault 4 E-Tech electric prices from £26,995

The Renault 4 E-Tech electric will be priced from £26,995 when order books open in July.

Available in three trim levels from launch – evolution, techno, and iconic, with the option of the electric “plein sud” canvas roof on the latter two from a later date – the Renault 4 E-Tech electric continues the original Renault 4’s sense of go-anywhere practicality, with its increased ground clearance and suspension optimised for a smoother, more comfortable ride.

The B-segment Renault 4 E-Tech electric measures 4,144mm in length, 222mm longer than the Renault 5, also a B-segment car, which is 3,922mm long. The Renault 4 has a 420-litre boot, including a 55-litre underfloor area for the charging cable, which extends to 1,405 litres with the rear seats folded.

The 52 kWh battery powers a 110 kW (150 hp, 245 Nm) electric motor that accelerates the Renault 4 E-Tech electric from 0-62mph in 8.2 seconds, with an expected driving range of up to 247 miles. The Renault 4 E-Tech electric has a kerb weight 1462 kg.

The new One Pedal function (available from techno trim) optimises regenerative braking, decelerating when the driver releases the accelerator pedal and coming to a stop without the driver having to apply the brake. Equipped with a 100 kW DC charger, the battery can be replenished from 15% to 80% in just 30 minutes, or an 11 kW AC 0%-100% charge in 4 hours 51 minutes.

Renault’s OpenR Link system is standard across the range, with wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay connectivity, accessed via a 10.1-inch central touchscreen. Techno and iconic models feature Google services built-in, including Google Maps with charging-optimised route planning and a variety of apps from the Google Play store. On these models, the central screen is joined by a 10-inch digital driver information display.

Renault 4 E-Tech electric includes My Safety Shield, which allows drivers to activate their preferred driver assistance settings at the touch of a button.

Six body colours are available from launch, including an exclusive new shade – Hauts-de-France Green – that pays tribute to the Île-de-France Blue of the 1960s. It joins Glacier White, Urban Grey, Diamond Black, Carmin Red, and Cumulus Blue, while the option of a contrasting Diamond Black roof – with or without a matching Diamond Black bonnet – is available on techno and iconic models. All models in the range have 18-inch diamond cut alloy wheels as standard.

The Renault 4 E-Tech electric evolution is priced at £26,995, techno is £28,995, and iconic is priced at £30,995. Ordering is set to open on 1st July for R-Pass customers and more widely on 15th July.
