Resurrecting the Renault 4<\/a> is a daring decision, but it\u2019s here and is aimed at cars like the Ford Puma Gen-E, Jeep Avenger Electric, BYD Dolphin and the Mini Aceman. <\/p>\n Numbers aside, the Renault 4 is actually larger than its 5 sibling, and sits in the electric crossover class. <\/p>\n 2026 Renault 4 Specifications<\/p>\n Priced from \u00a323,445, the Renault 4 is offered with a 150hp electric motor, although buyers can choose from three trim levels: evolution+, techno+, and iconic+, the latter being tested here.<\/p>\n Each trim adds a varying level of extra flair to its bodywork and interior, but the car comes standard with 18-inch wheels, a host of intelligent safety systems, a rear-view camera, cruise control, and a heat pump.<\/p>\n 2026 Renault 4<\/p>\n Matthew MacConnell<\/p>\n All cars get a 52kWh battery, which charges at a maximum rate of 100kW DC and 11kW AC. Renault claims the R4 will return 247 miles of range and 4.0mi\/kWh, but more on that later. <\/p>\n Life With The 2026 Renault 4<\/p>\n First impressions are important, and like its R5<\/a> sibling, the R4 did not disappoint. It reminded me of the Honda e from the front, with its large plastic \u201cgrille\u201d housing an illuminated Renault badge and futuristic headlights. Again, like the R5, I found myself locking it and looking back to admire its cutesy face; it makes you feel all warm inside.<\/p>\n Inside, there\u2019s lots of grey fabric, colour stitching, and leather. Things you\u2019ll find in many modern cars, but Renault\u2019s made what would usually be a mundane colour scheme oddly exciting and youthful. <\/p>\n A large crisp touchscreen spans across the dashboard, integrating multimedia and the instrument panel. It\u2019s fairly seamless. Of course, you get the usual Android Auto and Apple CarPlay tech, but Renault\u2019s openR technology also utilises Google Maps. Likewise, physical heating controls and the ability to turn off its annoying ADAS via a button make the R4 easy to live with. <\/p>\n 2026 Renault 4<\/p>\n Matthew MacConnell<\/p>\n As a 5\u201911″ 33-year-old with a bad back, I often struggle to find a comfortable seating position, but the R4\u2019s seats are supportive and pleasant over longer journeys. There are lots of adjustments, especially on the Iconic trim, which features lumbar support. <\/p>\n
