Renault revives one of its most famous models, the Renault 4, with a modern twist – the Renault R4E-Tech electric SUV. This long-awaited electric SUV combines retro design elements with state-of-the-art electric vehicle (EV) technology, making it ideal for a growing market of environmentally conscious consumers. Representing a mixture of nostalgia and innovation, the Renault R4E-Tech is a tribute to the original Renault 4, which was renowned for its simplicity and practicality while meeting the requirements of the modern world.


At this week's Paris Motor Show, Renault announced its latest all-electric appliance, the Renault 4E-Tech, a nod to the brand's 1960s Renault 4L hatchback - its biggest best.


The new compact SUV, which is expected to arrive at the dealership next year, will include a lowered R5 and more than two-thirds of its parts, including a small AmpR platform to save costs.


The price is expected to be below 25,000 euros, compared with the Renault 5, which starts at about 30,000 euros. The entry-level Renault 4E-Tech is powered by a 90kW/225Nm electric motor and a 40kWh battery and has a range of 300km. The top version has been upgraded to a 110kW/245Nm front electric motor and a 52kWh battery, with a WLTP range of 400km, a top speed of 150km/h and acceleration from zero to 100km/h in 8.5 seconds.

At this week's Paris Motor Show, many low-cost Bevs are in the limelight, with automakers pointing to low prices as the key to "recovering" demand for electric vehicles.


According to Automotive News Europe, Thierry Coskas, managing director of the Citroen brand at Stellantis, told reporters that demand for electric cars "may be approaching a turning point." Meanwhile, European automakers are facing strong competition from Chinese automakers that are rapidly expanding their reach in the face of tough subsidy cuts.


Other models on display at the show include Citreon's delayed e-C3, priced at 23,300 euros (5 25,472$), a car that has been a huge success in Europe and accounts for almost 30% of the company's European sales. The 19,999 Euro version will be launched in the first half of next year, Koskas said.


Luca de Meo, Renault's chief executive, told reporters at an "open door" event in France this weekend that the company's electric vehicle sales account for 35-40 % of the total product mix.

Advanced Electric Powertrain


Under its nostalgic look, the Renault R4E-Tech is powered by Renault's latest electric car technology. The R4E-Tech is based on the CMF-EV platform that underlies many Renault electric models and is designed to offer competitive range and performance. Official specifications are still being drawn up, but it is expected to offer a range of about 1 to 250 to 300 miles on a charge, making it suitable for both urban traffic and longer road travel.


The R4E-Tech also comes with a fast charging feature, allowing drivers to charge up to 80% of the battery within 30 minutes using a DC fast charger. This feature is important for owners of electric vehicles that require quick turnaround times during long-distance travel.


Technically savvy features


At R4E-Tech, Renault integrates a variety of modern technologies to improve the driving experience. Digital dashboards, large infotainment touch screens and advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) make it a technologically savvy SUV for the modern. With the integration of smart connectivity features such as Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, drivers can stay connected and enjoy on the go.


Safety is a top priority for Renault, and the R4E-Tech will be equipped with several ADAS features such as lane keeping assist, automatic emergency braking and adaptive cruise control. These systems provide additional protection and make the vehicle safer for both driver and passenger.


conclusion


The electric SUV Renault R4E-Tech is a nostalgic allusion to the past and at the same time looks into the future of mobility. By combining modern electric technology and retro design, Renault creates a vehicle that will appeal to fans of both the classic Renault 4 and the new electric enthusiasts. With a blend of practicality, affordability and state-of-the-art technology, R4E-Tech is well on its way to becoming a popular choice for eco-conscious families and individuals looking for versatile, stylish and sustainable electric vehicles.
