When the original Renault 4 was introduced in 1961, it marked a significant milestone for the French firm —  it was the first Renault family car with a front-mounted engine. However, the reimagined-for-the-modern-age Renault 4, scheduled to make its global debut at the 2025 Paris Motor Show on 14 October, will be powered by batteries alone. Indeed, soon, Renault will whip the wraps off its latest electric vehicle. Here’s what we know so far…

According to the Boulogne-Billancourt-based brand, although employing an electric powertrain, the Renault 4 E-Tech “is as versatile as its predecessor”. Based on the company’s AmpR Small platform, the R4 E-Tech measures 4 140 mm in length, some 220 mm less than the EV with which it shares its underpinnings, the new, all-electric Renault 5.

From a design point of view, the R4 E-Tech will feature a oblong front grille, replete with an illuminated surround. The closed-off grille features a backlit “Renault” emblem (a first for a Renault product) and incorporates round LED headlamps. ‘Round back, the R4 E-Tech’s three-part, “pill-shaped” taillamps hark back to the items found on the original car. Trapezoidal quarter windows, sited above the rear wheels, are also present, as is a roof-mounted rear spoiler. A neat addition to the package, the modernised version features a retractable fabric roof.

Topical tips on buying used – Chapter 1

Image
Buying a used car can be harrowing, whether privately or from a dealer. Here are some tips, as well as some things to watch out for. Beware of low mileages, especially on smaller or cheaper cars. It is always possible that the odometer has been turned back. Some things to bear in mind are:- diesels are often bought because they the driver needs to undertake long trips without consuming vast amounts of fuel. This could be a sales rep, or someone travelling large distances to work, lots of lengthy trip for family holidays, etc. So, usually higher mileages than normal. An expensive or luxury car may not see much time on the road, but very seldom a “workhorse”. This makes the executive cars likely to have a lot more life left than the overworked and abused hatchback. These also spend most of their life in a home garage or undercover parking lot at work.
