The Renault 4 E-Tech electric follows in the footsteps of its sibling, the Renault 5, and now also benefits from an update. From now on, it offers more range, improved equipment in detail, and a lower price. Additionally, Renault introduces the special edition "Roland-Garros". We explain where the unique features lie.

Following the update of the Renault 5 (the UK order books for the Renault 5 opened in September just passed), the Renault 4 is now next in line, and as before, this is coming with a price reduction. Renault unveiled the revised version at the 2026 Paris Motor Show, where the Renault 4 E-Tech electric update was showcased for the first time, sporting new exterior mirrors and an underbody panel for improved aerodynamics.

These improvements have resulted in a slight increase in range, so the Urban Range version with a 40-kWh battery and 90-kW motor now achieves 310 km, two kilometres further than before the update. For the Comfort Range version with 52 kWh and 110 kW, the range increases to 415 km—six kilometres more —and for the Plein Sud with a fabric roof, it now reaches 402 km, exactly 10 km more.

Price reduction and special edition for the Renault 4

The new entry-level price is now €27,690, which is €1,810 lower than before the update. Starting at €37,490, the Renault 4 Roland-Garros E-Tech electric is also available as a special edition. It features a two-tone paint finish with black A-pillars and roof rails, and one of the following paint colours: “arctic white”, “slate grey”, “black pearl black”, or “terracotta brown”. Silver trim strips with Roland-Garros emblems, black 18-inch wheels, and additional Terracotta Brown decorative elements complete the exterior.

The interior is inspired by tennis, featuring light grey seat covers made from 100% recycled fabric with a woven pattern, as well as blue fabric on the armrests, door panels, and dashboard. The gear lever is designed in the style of a tennis racket handle. Additionally, it includes an illuminated decorative strip on the dashboard, a wireless charging pad, sand-coloured floor mats, and aluminium door sills.

In the Comfort Range configuration, the WLTP range is up to 402 kilometres. For the German market, the foldable fabric roof Plein Sud is included as standard equipment.

Technical updates for the new model year

In addition to the increased range, Renault has equipped its compact electric SUV with a 360-degree camera system, now available as an option for the Techno trim and as standard from the Iconic trim upwards. The battery pre-conditioning can now be controlled manually, independent of navigation, and the My Renault app can notify users about the end of the charging process up to five minutes before the set charging time elapses.

Among the driver assistance systems, there is now an Eco-Driving Assistant that analyses the road ahead and provides recommendations on when to lift off the accelerator early to save energy. The new automatic Smart Mode also independently adjusts the driving settings based on the situation—whether it’s efficient driving in city traffic or sporty performance when overtaking—and can be activated via voice command or the display.

The emergency brake assistant detects inactive drivers (no eye contact with the road and no hands on the steering wheel) and automatically brakes the car to a complete stop. Additionally, the eCall emergency system now also operates on 5G.

Another new feature is the ventilated, magnetic charging pad with Qi2 standard. Additionally, the electric tailgate now opens automatically as soon as the keyholder stands behind the car, without requiring any foot movement under the bumper.

Renault 4 “Extra” as an N1 commercial vehicle

With the Renault 4 “Extra”, the manufacturer offers a commercial transporter variant with N1 approval for the European market. This two-seater is based on the Techno trim line, cannot be converted back to passenger car operation, and is manufactured directly at the Maubeuge plant by the specialist converter Qstomize.

Instead of rear seats, the model features a fixed, thermoformed load area with a partition grille, load compartment cover, and lashing eyes. With a maximum payload of up to 330 kg (with a 52-kWh battery), the load volume increases to 1,045 litres (0.94 cubic metres according to VDA standards), including a 55-litre underfloor compartment for charging cables. Standard equipment includes tinted rear windows, extended assistance systems, and a 10-inch infotainment system with navigation.
