Inovev forecasts 60,000 units per year of the Renault 4 E-Tech
- Renault presented the new battery electric R4 E-Tech at the 2024 Paris Motor Show, with a style evoking the old R4 marketed in the 1960s which is more consensual than the concept car presented at the 2022 Paris Motor Show.
- Based on the same AmpR Small platform as the battery electric Renault R5 E-Tech, the R4 E-Tech is intended to be more versatile and more family-friendly thanks to its dimensions (4.14 m long compared to 3.92 m for the R5, 1.80 m wide versus 1.77 m and 1.57 m high versus 1.50 m) and its larger trunk. Its wheelbase (2.62 m) is 8 cm longer than that of the R5 E-Tech, which allows a higher cabin space. The R4 E-Tech will be more expensive than the R5 as its price should starts at around 35,000 euros, compared to prices announced between 25,000 and 35,000 euros for the entire Renault R5 E-Tech range.
- The motors and batteries are identical on both models, namely an electric motor (named 6AK) with a power of 120 hp or 150 hp transmitted to the front wheels, with rotor coil without rare earths and NMC battery with a capacity of 40 kWh or 52 kWh. These batteries allow the car a range measured according to the WLTP standard of 300 km or 400 km depending on the choice of battery. LFP batteries may also appears on these models (R4 and R5) from 2026 according to the updated strategy of Renault on batteries.
- The Renault R4 E-Tech will be produced on the Maubeuge site, alongside the Renault Kangoo, Mercedes Citan and Nissan Townstar, and not on the Douai site like the Renault R5 E-Tech, Megane E-Tech and Scenic E-Tech .
- Inovev forecasts a production volume of 35,000 units in 2025 and 80,000 in 2030, or an average of 60,000 per year. These volumes are equivalent to 75% / 80% of the production volumes of the Renault R5 E-Tech depending on the year.
