FIRST LOOK: New Renault 4 - Retro Done Right?

[@TopGear]

So, Renault 4: oui, ou non?

[@bernardlloyd2000]

Definite yes for me, having driven both the Renault 5 and 4 it's definitely more comfortable than the 5 and much more usable for rear passengers ! (It's obviously less fun to drive as the 5 though) Not sure how the front fascia will age and cope with all the dead insects on the wide plastic lit up "grille"

[@merlin2627]

Was kind of expecting the R4 to come in cheaper than the R5 (because history) but I was dead wrong, maybe bc the barebones EV is already being made at Dacia. Also Renault seem to be aiming at the Mini crowd with these latest models.

[@David_Polak]

Unfortunately, we're living in the past with those numbers. A base model VW Polo starts at 27 thousand euros. Crazy but it's true.

[@botbotconnection]

Man they are more expensive, but depends on the version you choose, the lowest version with as few options as possible of the R5 [starting price in Five finish and without bonus should be 25,000 € depending on the brand] then the full option version [Iconic Cinq] costs 35,490k €. Even Dacia has difficulty going below 20k € [entry price without options: 22k € (and what's more, not even electric)]. That’s so much so, it’s very complicated to still hope to have car models under 20k €

It only needs the lower price tag. I'd be interested in something small to commute with. If it gets about 100km of range, I'm already happy, my commute is 4km. Anything else is a waste of money, I'll take any of my dino-juice cars for long distances. Nobody makes anything small, cheap and not absolutely miserable with short range and a pricetag that's acceptable. The Ami/Rocks thing is a fun idea but quite miserable as a car. Microlino and stuff costs a kidney. The only option is 10+ year old BMW i3.

[@JayDee-b5u]

Best part about this: no one will buy it. Renault will capitulate and make a hybrid version which is what they should have started with. At 45K+ Euros, with a limited range (no surfers will buy it), expensive maintenance, not made for the real world of potholes and bad parking (imagine the cost of that LED bar), it will be another cool-looking prototype we rarely saw on the streets for a couple of years.

[@philipwright7186]

Having seen it on video rather than stills I like it a lot. I'm sure for a designer it's a nightmare taking account of the platform / heritage / regs and I don't think it shouts '4' that hard, but I like it for what it is anyway. I'd buy one over a Chinese import, simply because I embrace its European heritage.

[@Whatshisname346]

I don’t mind the design too much; just regular small SUV stuff I guess. I was hoping for it to be a lot more utilitarian and simple. The interior is way too plush for a Renault 4. They should’ve priced this similar to the 5 but stripped out the interior, given it a phone holder and removable seats. Also the range in the 5 has been so so; how bad will it be in a larger heavier version of this platform? As it is, it’s just another electric SUV. I get this is a market segment that Renault needs and the Twingo will probably fit into the small and simple gap in the market …. I guess. Let’s hope Dacia can get their hands on this platform and make the Renault 4 we’ve been waiting for.

[@merlin2627]

Yeah was expecting the same but no. Maybe they leave that to Dacia and aim for a wealthier clientele. It’s nice though, especially in burgundy and black paint.

[@chrisogrady28]

Talking about proportions being better with an EV, not when you are sticking with these flat skateboard platforms, as they jack up the height of the vehicle and make the seats uncomfortably high. To actually get these benefits you need to be more creative with the battery pack shape in order to keep the car lower, seeker, more aero, and better seating position (especially for tall people). Sports cars with 2 or 4 seats should by default use an I bar shape with a tall thick transmission tunnel style battery going through the middle (which also makes the cockpit nicer), with larger battery lumps at the back and front. Less sporty cars that need a flatter floor/ a middle seat in that back should use big cuboid batterys a similar volume to an engine under the bonnet/hood, maybe with a central tail between the front 2 seats. Both of these would increase the centre of mass but the tradeoff for better experience, style, aero, and space is absolutely worthwhile. At this point it feels like the companies have realised customers are cool with these clunky messes with their half-arsed battery design so they don't have to bother with more advanced engineering. What's the point if people buy it anyway? The skateboard chassis is much cheaper to prodice so obviously they'd rather do that AND charge more money becuase it's a big SUV

[@alancobbin]

Renault is on fire at the moment 👍

[@frenchLeon]

[@k.squared]

I am particularly impressed by the fact that "the seating position is nice and upright, and directly facing the wheel". So tired of sitting sideways. Seriously though, great car. It's interesting to watch some major brands use EV transition to completely change their designs. VW, Kia, Hyundai are the most prominent examples, but now, clearly, more companies are joining the trend. This and the 5 look very different from everything Renault put out recently, which is a good thing.

Superbly crafted review thanks Tom. This is a far more practical car than the 5 or even the Megan, both of which have high boot loading lips for some reason,with superb but subtle styling that won't wear thin. It has retro hints from the 4 which make it interesting but the overall design is really modern and distinctive. Top models really need a bit more range perhaps to justify the price. Kia and Renault seem to be following very similar driver interface approaches with lots of non touch screen controls.

[@mossman2003]

I like this retro Renault 4. Renault seem to be taking on Citroen ‘s bold styling challenges for a change and the 4 (and the 5) have worked out well. The biggest shame is that all these cars (and those retro cars and bold designs from other manufacturers) are purely electric. Why couldn’t they have been made with Ice which will probably give better life span as BEV still seems to me to be a stop gap solution or will end up mainly for cities.
