Will probably be one other key car in an electrification drive that can see Renault launch seven new fully-electric autos by 2025. Earlier in 2021, the model revealed the beautiful Renault 5 Prototype, which is due in 2023 as an inexpensive electrical supermini. 

Renault hasn’t gone on report with any plans to revive the 4. However, there was loads of hypothesis suggesting that the model will decide to a reboot of the mannequin as one other inexpensive small EV with heavy inspiration from the unique, which was one of many model’s biggest gross sales successes.

Over a 31 yr manufacturing run spanning from 1961 to 1992, the model produced over eight million items of the 4 and its cheaper Renault 3 by-product. 

This yr sees the unique 4 have a good time its sixtieth anniversary, and Renault has teased that there can be a “shock” primarily based on the 4L van in November. That could possibly be a touch that we may see an idea previewing the car by the top of 2021, and ties in with additional rumours that the brand new 4 can be an inexpensive, electrical business car counterpart to the passenger carrying 5. 

Ought to the 4 be primarily based on the identical underpinnings as the brand new 5, it should use the CMF-B platform at present utilized by the Zoe hatchback, which is a modified model of the Clio’s underpinnings, made appropriate for an all-electric drivetrain.
