Renault R4: a return to basics that brings a smile to the face

Lisbon, with its cobbled streets, steep hills and retro trams, is a city where every corner exudes History. It was in this vibrant setting that I had the opportunity to test drive a car steeped in nostalgia: the legendary Renault 4, revived and reinvented in a 100% electric version.

Translated by Bethszabee Garner

Today's Renault R4 is not just a car, it's a symbol! With its unapologetic nostalgia and bold innovation, it embodies a nod to the past that can be experienced in the present. Behind its retro lines lies an era and a spirit that it invites you to rediscover. Behind the wheel, it's impossible not to smile. The steering is smooth and the ride is fluid. It is honest, predictable, maneuverable, and quiet. Its vintage look, combined with a modern heart, makes it the ideal companion for a conscious “slow life”.

Not a reissue, but an eco-chic reinvention

However, far from being a simple copy of the past, this R4 is a true reinvention. More than just an aesthetic exercise, it is versatile, connected, and eco-friendly. With a range of up to 409 kilometers, a generous 420-liter trunk, and fast charging in 30 minutes (from 15% to 80%)... It stands out as both a practical and innovative electric alternative. Thanks to its flexible space, it adapts to all your needs, from everyday errands to impromptu surf trips. Once the rear and front passenger seats are folded down, it becomes a valuable ally for all your getaways.

À la carte customization

Vert Hauts-de-France and black roof, terracotta brown, or urban gray? Amongst its seven colors to choose from, everyone can find the one that reflects their personality. Chic, original, and bold, these colors make the R4 stand out on the road. The interior can also be customized with 3D Print@Flins accessories, printed in the French factory of the same name. A central organizer, storage boxes, and e-pop shifter (steering wheel gear lever) allow you to create a cabin that reflects your personality. In the Techno version, the seats are made entirely from recycled materials, in a resolutely more responsible approach.

Connected like never before

With its two 10" screens, the Renault R4 immerses you in the world of connected driving thanks to the OpenR Link multimedia system. Fun and 100% customizable, it includes a host of features, including Google integrated for real-time navigation via Google Maps, and access to more than 50 apps via Google Play. Need a recharge? Why not take the opportunity to watch an episode of your favorite series on Netflix?
