Renault improves the R4 with more range without increasing its price

The Renault 4 E-Tech is now a slightly better electric car than a few months ago. The diamond brand has improved its aerodynamics through the use of new spoilers, deflectors, and front fairings, as well as new redesigned rearview mirrors that allow for reduced friction and air resistance.

The entry-level version of the new R4 is priced at 30,305 euros (excluding promotional discounts and institutional grants, which could bring the final price down to around 22,500 euros with vehicle financing) and features a 120 hp front electric motor and a 40 kWh battery pack that allows it to achieve up to 310 kilometers of range.

The superior version of this French electric car uses a 150 hp engine and a 52 kWh capacity battery, raising the range to 415 kilometers. This version has a retail price of 33,305 euros for cash payment and, by applying incentives and promotional aid, as well as financing conditions (with the brand itself), it is reduced to 24,900 euros.

It is worth remembering that this electric utility SUV has a version with a convertible canvas roof called Plein Sud, which uses the engine and batteries from the superior version. The new R4 Plein Sud has a considerably higher price (37,305 euros or 28,300 euros in the current promotional version), although the final range of the vehicle is reduced to 400 kilometers.

These improvements announced by Renault have been accompanied by the announcement of the launch of a special edition, the Roland Garros, the result of the diamond brand's sponsorship of the legendary Parisian Grand Slam. It also includes a new body design thanks to new colors such as brown or gray and new gray upholstery on the front and rear seats.

Lastly, Renault has also improved the connectivity and technology of this electric vehicle with a new rear-view camera with better definition or improvements to the MyRenault mobile application, which notifies users of the vehicle's charging completion with a five-minute margin, a feature that the brand believes will be useful for users of its vehicles on long trips.
