adventure study model
After Renault 5, Renault 4 was also revived in a retro jacket. At the Paris Motor Show, Renault is pulling the curtain on a study model that previews the R4’s reincarnation, but not before sharing two more teasers.
How do you go to the future without forgetting your past? Well, for example by creating an all-electric car with a retro look. Renault continues this approach To create new Renault 4 and Renault 5, both only available with the electric powertrain. The Electric concept version R5 It was introduced over a year and a half ago, and now it’s R4’s turn. Whereas the R5 prototype is unambiguously the Renault 5 at this time, the new Renault 4 seems to deviate slightly from its well-known inspiration.
In two new teasers, we see that the new Renault 4 is taking some elements from the original R, but also following its own path at the same time. The nose looks familiar and on the C-pillar we see a lighted tire that is directly reminiscent of the third side window of the old R4. The taillights, as in the past, look like they consist of three floors. However, the proportions of the R4 Concept are very different from those of the original Renault 4, it is very wide and high on its wheels and also appears to have very large wheel arches. The roof rack confirms that this is the new R5’s more adventurous sibling.
Since they’re on the same base as the CMF-B EV, you’ll likely see the new R4 primarily as a long-legged alternative to the new R5 with similar technology on board. On October 17, we’ll see the full study model, and the production version will likely wait until at least 2024. The new Renault 5 will also be launched that year.
