Definite yes for me, having driven both the Renault 5 and 4 it's definitely more comfortable than the 5 and much more usable for rear passengers !

the problem is that it is not a new design, imo it is a concept of an old renault inserted into a volkswagen layout from a few years ago - a complete mistake
These new EV R4 and R5 are very sleek and retro modern stylish cars. Very good job Renault. Although, I wish they could be cheaper, like 20.000 euro for R5 and 25000 euro for R4 for the top range models.
Was kind of expecting the R4 to come in cheaper than the R5 (because history) but I was dead wrong, maybe bc the barebones EV is already being made at Dacia. Also Renault seem to be aiming at the Mini crowd with these latest models.
Man they are more expensive, but depends on the version you choose, the lowest version with as few options as possible of the R5 [starting price in Five finish and without bonus should be 25,000 € depending on the brand] then the full option version [Iconic Cinq] costs 35,490k €. Even Dacia has difficulty going below 20k € [entry price without options: 22k € (and what's more, not even electric)]. That’s so much so, it’s very complicated to still hope to have car models under 20k €
Looking at all the unofficial concepts renders that have been circulating the internet for years, it's actually impressive that they pulled it off. It's really the best looking it could be as a new car. The designers really know what they're doing
I drove a R4 GTL in the early 80's. It had 1100cc 34 HP and LOW weight. It was fun to drive😊 For me the new design is a good translation to modern times
Great design. They use their history and brand value for future models. VW did the opposite and failed. Design very well executed. Thanks for pointing out the switch to turn the peeping sound off. Very useful detail.
So you can leverage new gen traction control because of electric motor, new weight distribution and extremely easy doable 4wd/rwd car and provide better turning radius, feedback from front wheels and improve drivers experience... and you still make decision to do it fwd. The hell
Having seen it on video rather than stills I like it a lot. I'm sure for a designer it's a nightmare taking account of the platform / heritage / regs and I don't think it shouts '4' that hard, but I like it for what it is anyway. I'd buy one over a Chinese import, simply because I embrace its European heritage.
Original 4L, 5 and all other 70s. 80s classics, where HONEST, PRACTICAL, AFFORDABLE vehicles. Now, desperate OEMs jump on the retro-nostalgic design to hide their anxiety over to what is coming. They present expensive, complicated, non-sense-branding-driven designs to "excite" people. Instead of re-inventing the essence of these cars, they create soulless vehicles dressed like something from the never-coming-back past. Yeah, good luck and enjoy the ride. By the way, I watched the live unveiling and the brand manager was talking about the "iconic trapezoid rear side window"...
I always favoured the old 5 over the 4 until I travelled around South America and saw the amazing custom culture around the 4. This looks like that culture could continue
At 6:14 My Dad bought a Renault 16 in 1972 as seen in the background here. - The most practical car we have ever owned. I wish Renault would bring that back to life.
@@Neojhun they are already ruined, they are not going to be on the roads in 10 years anymore less in few decades with this iphone business model replacing old one for new one all the time
Colombia is still full of the original 4. I believe it was built there under license. Brilliant design and hopefully the new one will have the same reach. Low priced, practical and charming - we need more electric cars like this.
I don’t mind the design too much; just regular small SUV stuff I guess. I was hoping for it to be a lot more utilitarian and simple. The interior is way too plush for a Renault 4. They should’ve priced this similar to the 5 but stripped out the interior, given it a phone holder and removable seats. Also the range in the 5 has been so so; how bad will it be in a larger heavier version of this platform? As it is, it’s just another electric SUV. I get this is a market segment that Renault needs and the Twingo will probably fit into the small and simple gap in the market …. I guess. Let’s hope Dacia can get their hands on this platform and make the Renault 4 we’ve been waiting for.
Yeah was expecting the same but no. Maybe they leave that to Dacia and aim for a wealthier clientele. It’s nice though, especially in burgundy and black paint.
Since when are SUVs 1.6 tons and smaller than shoulder height? Sure the ride height is increased compared to the Renault 5 but it just makes this more comfortable and practical
@@Peer_Teer it's really not though, 1.6 tons and not even shoulder height We all hate this SUV trend but we have to stop saying all new cars are SUVs when they just aren't
Totally agree there should be a 4x4 version. Remember when the Megane came out and then they "Golf Plus'd" it with the Scenic? And then they made that into a crossover and called it the RX4? It's the right segment and right name - R4 + 4WD = RX4.
As someone who generally hates electric cars, this the little Honda and the Dacia actually make sense to me (and a good amount of the population) Very cool looking little thing!
I wish Citroen could find their 1980's designers again. French EV's would rock. Citroen AX vs Renault Twingo would be a dream. The 2CV vs Renault 5... ah the smell of wine on the seats, cheese in the boot.
Oui oui, si à la fin elle tombe en panne évidemment,.. si le moteur d'une électrique a un problème, c'est tout l'entière du moteur qu'ils échangent, et le prix est ouf, vous devez payer ¾ le prix de la voiture. Du coup, prenez la voiture d' origine au lieu de dépenser ~40k €
I like this retro Renault 4. Renault seem to be taking on Citroen ‘s bold styling challenges for a change and the 4 (and the 5) have worked out well. The biggest shame is that all these cars (and those retro cars and bold designs from other manufacturers) are purely electric. Why couldn’t they have been made with Ice which will probably give better life span as BEV still seems to me to be a stop gap solution or will end up mainly for cities.
One of the more attractive offerings in the EV world, but they seem to have lost the raison d'être of the original R4, that of a bouncy go-anywhere, cheap, capacious runabout. Now hugely sophisticated with it's screens etc and therefore reflected in its £35k price, which is a shame. They won't be selling 8m of these. The original 4s and 5s had the engine / gearbox from earlier rear mounted Renaults, just swung 'round by 180º to drive the front wheels, with a dashmounted gearchange that just ran a shaft over the top of the engine bay to the gearbox (and gear lever) at the front behind the radiator. So simple, and so much fun. All scarily technological now.
Talking about proportions being better with an EV, not when you are sticking with these flat skateboard platforms, as they jack up the height of the vehicle and make the seats uncomfortably high. To actually get these benefits you need to be more creative with the battery pack shape in order to keep the car lower, seeker, more aero, and better seating position (especially for tall people). Sports cars with 2 or 4 seats should by default use an I bar shape with a tall thick transmission tunnel style battery going through the middle (which also makes the cockpit nicer), with larger battery lumps at the back and front. Less sporty cars that need a flatter floor/ a middle seat in that back should use big cuboid batterys a similar volume to an engine under the bonnet/hood, maybe with a central tail between the front 2 seats. Both of these would increase the centre of mass but the tradeoff for better experience, style, aero, and space is absolutely worthwhile. At this point it feels like the companies have realised customers are cool with these clunky messes with their half-arsed battery design so they don't have to bother with more advanced engineering. What's the point if people buy it anyway? The skateboard chassis is much cheaper to prodice so obviously they'd rather do that AND charge more money becuase it's a big SUV
You're right, even all car brands don't use that type of idea, that's why all clients stop's buying a car from the dealership. Except the idiots that they don't know anything about automobiles
I don't know about this one. It does have several elements from the original model, but it just takes them in directions that don't entirely make sense. I absolutely despise Crossover SUVs and yet this one kinda makes sense, as the original was meant for farmers who lived in the country and therefore needed a car that could go off-road. I just don't believe this modern one ever will however, literally every SUV and Crossover that's being pooped out by manufacturers is made for nothing more than asphalt and will fall apart and get stuck the moment it encounters any mud. I also don't like the gigantic screen on the dashboard and the general "Premium" feel the car is giving out. The 4 was born as a simple vehicle for everybody, not as an accessory for city dwelling hipsters and soccer moms.
It looks good, it's delightfully practical, the interior is nice, I imagine it's not super porky from the R5 weights, it has sensibly sized battery options.. it's a belter. I hope it comes to Aus cos I want one.
I love the original,and although I don’t dislike the new version, for me it just doesn’t have enough of the originals styling cues to work properly. I actually think it looks more like a Dacia design.
I want yellow headlights like the old one, and no stupid face mask(the led squarical). The old one was also cheap and practical, this new one needs to be the same.
Hahahahaa It looks NOTHING like a Renault 4. They matched the colour of the one shown, that is it. No more power than a VW diesel, how much more cost?? Terrible
I don't think it is as good a retro take as the R5, but how could it be? The R5 is probably going to be the best launch of the decade. That said, it's a more subtle take on the original and is a good blend of looking modern and still paying homage to an earlier car. I'll be having an R5, in green or yellow, but I wouldn't be embarrassed to buy this in the way that I would with any of the current Fords that are trashing the heritage of their previous great names.
As much as I think that the new R5 is indeed the retro version of the original, this retro R4 is not. Renault succeeds in presenting a practical and functional R4, but it's much too far away from the original 1963 model. That goes for the exterior as well as the interior. Dashboard and ceiling are more comparable to the R5 than the R4. So, in my opinion it fails as a retro.
Hard to be cute when everything has to be an SUV with chunky crumple zones and airbags. I'm glad it doesn't try too hard to look like the original, because it wouldn't be possible to pull it off.
@@takecourage92 I like your comment, but somehow I wholeheartedly disagree with it at the same time. I believe that there were choices made here. The choices they made was mass appeal over what the original product was so they put SUV elements in there wasn’t like it was a mandate and I’m not even talking about size there was some easy targets to capture, but was ignored in order to make it an SUV so everyone would like it more. Some of the cut lines were sacrificed the height of the grill, the set of the headlights, and then the extra window after the passenger compartments in the rear seats, these were committed choices that really had nothing to do with mandates the Mazda Miata is proof that modern cars can’t exist and not be bloated by these mandates
@@yunova appreciate the response and mutual respect. Disagreement is fine. All I would say in response is I think the original was aiming to be mass market too in its time, albeit it perhaps was bolder than the remake is. I agree that the Mazda is a great car but it's easier to be a pure car when you're not trying to produce a daily driver for a family and can focus on doing a few things really well. I accept that this 4 is not really a true copy of the original, but Renault are aiming to do something different, which is create mass market electric cars inspired by the principles of the originals (low cost, versatility etc...) rather than strictly copying the driving experience, weight, appearance and so on. You might not agree with some of the decisions and that's fine. I'm not a fan of SUVs myself either, but that is the family car of today and this is one of the nicest looking ones I've personally seen.
This is much better looking than the new Renault 5, the 5 shares the same problem as the Hyundai Ionic 5 in that because it’s a modern electric car they’re both huge, designed to look like small 70s/80s hatchbacks but are massive in person. It just doesn’t look right, whereas this new Renault 4 is more in proportion and feels like it embraces being a crossover sized vehicle.

I almost like it, but id honestly rather daily drive the actual renault 4, or the actual renault 5, they are just beautiful
I like it,not too nostalgic but with obvious links,Renault back in form
I love the original,and although I don’t dislike the new version, for me it just doesn’t have enough of the originals styling cues to work properly. I actually think it looks more like a Dacia design.
I want yellow headlights like the old one, and no stupid face mask(the led squarical). The old one was also cheap and practical, this new one needs to be the same.
100 % too expensive , around 40 k , best : open top !!!
Perfect, you do not need sub 4sec in the city
Renault is nailing the modern-retro design. 👏🏽 Hope we’ll see RS models return in the future. maybe ‘RS-e’
Is the nissan leaf still the only normal design for a small EV with a decent range? Not everyone wants to be so shouty about owning an EV
i want a basic one for less than 20 000 £ with no screen and no these sophisticates things that r all over :)
Renault won't be able to keep these in stock or make them quick enough.
It's a YES! from me.
The price it's ~40k sir, u have it ? lol
Hahahahaa It looks NOTHING like a Renault 4. They matched the colour of the one shown, that is it. No more power than a VW diesel, how much more cost?? Terrible
I don't think it is as good a retro take as the R5, but how could it be? The R5 is probably going to be the best launch of the decade. That said, it's a more subtle take on the original and is a good blend of looking modern and still paying homage to an earlier car. I'll be having an R5, in green or yellow, but I wouldn't be embarrassed to buy this in the way that I would with any of the current Fords that are trashing the heritage of their previous great names.
As much as I think that the new R5 is indeed the retro version of the original, this retro R4 is not. Renault succeeds in presenting a practical and functional R4, but it's much too far away from the original 1963 model. That goes for the exterior as well as the interior. Dashboard and ceiling are more comparable to the R5 than the R4. So, in my opinion it fails as a retro.
This is the right way to do retro a good way
Renault is on fire!
Why did he open the boot like that? 😂😂😂 4:10
It will be tough to pick this over the Ev3 or the EX-30.
Look at how cute the old one was and yet the new design could not capture any of that cuteness. It’s nice as a new product, but fails as an homage.
Hard to be cute when everything has to be an SUV with chunky crumple zones and airbags. I'm glad it doesn't try too hard to look like the original, because it wouldn't be possible to pull it off.
@@takecourage92 I like your comment, but somehow I wholeheartedly disagree with it at the same time. I believe that there were choices made here. The choices they made was mass appeal over what the original product was so they put SUV elements in there wasn’t like it was a mandate and I’m not even talking about size there was some easy targets to capture, but was ignored in order to make it an SUV so everyone would like it more. Some of the cut lines were sacrificed the height of the grill, the set of the headlights, and then the extra window after the passenger compartments in the rear seats, these were committed choices that really had nothing to do with mandates the Mazda Miata is proof that modern cars can’t exist and not be bloated by these mandates
@@yunova appreciate the response and mutual respect. Disagreement is fine. All I would say in response is I think the original was aiming to be mass market too in its time, albeit it perhaps was bolder than the remake is. I agree that the Mazda is a great car but it's easier to be a pure car when you're not trying to produce a daily driver for a family and can focus on doing a few things really well. I accept that this 4 is not really a true copy of the original, but Renault are aiming to do something different, which is create mass market electric cars inspired by the principles of the originals (low cost, versatility etc...) rather than strictly copying the driving experience, weight, appearance and so on.
You might not agree with some of the decisions and that's fine. I'm not a fan of SUVs myself either, but that is the family car of today and this is one of the nicest looking ones I've personally seen.
Exactly it's way bigger and nothing like the old one
Tom Ford is almost as bad as Chris Evans!
This is much better looking than the new Renault 5, the 5 shares the same problem as the Hyundai Ionic 5 in that because it’s a modern electric car they’re both huge, designed to look like small 70s/80s hatchbacks but are massive in person. It just doesn’t look right, whereas this new Renault 4 is more in proportion and feels like it embraces being a crossover sized vehicle.
Ionic 5 is huge but the Renault 5 really isn't
The 5 is a small car by todays standards
Okay I may have misjudged the sized of the 5, it does have a high bonnet above the wheel arch though which makes it look a little ungainly
It's fine. It just looks like every other electric crossover. That Twingo tho... Ooh.
Looks like competitor to Rivian's R3. Will this get confusing?
I'm guessing that one will be bigger, have more range, and a way higher price
Greate video, the car is not enough pretty but original never wasnt too, 😊anyway is an icon, but interesting the retro modern
cool design yes, but it doesn't look anything like the old one. good design tho
4:09 how often did you test that to not get smacked in the head. Bravo…
