Renault electric Renault 4 development

Overview

Renault is reportedly developing a new electric version of its iconic Renault 4. The model is expected to feature an all-wheel drive system using a dual-motor layout, with a primary motor on the front axle and an additional motor on the rear axle to provide traction on off-road or slippery surfaces. Prototypes have undergone testing, featuring a wider rear track and increased ground clearance.

Additionally, the company is preparing a Plein Sud variant, which is an open-roof version of the electric Renault 4. This compact B-SUV will include a canvas roof that can be operated via a switch and set into three different positions.
