Renault 4 (2025) Pros and Cons

Pros	Cons
Fun to drive	Rear seat space could be better
Characterful interior	Heated seats reserved for the most expensive model
Smart retro styling	Wind noise at higher speeds

Quick Summary

The Renault 4 E-Tech is a compact, all-electric crossover that reimagines the iconic original with modern technology and charm. At 4.16 metres long, it sits between smaller city cars and larger family SUVs, offering a 420-litre boot (including 55-litre underfloor storage) and a 52kWh battery providing 241–247 miles of WLTP range. With 148bhp and front-wheel drive, it delivers 0–62mph in 8.2 seconds, making it nippy and engaging to drive. The interior is genuinely characterful, featuring retro-inspired design elements, recycled plastic upholstery on lower trims, and a 10.1-inch touchscreen with Google Maps integration on most models.

The Renault 4 excels as a practical family electric car with excellent equipment, competitive pricing from under £24,000 (after the Government's Electric Car Grant), and strong resale values. Its sweet handling, regenerative braking system with three levels plus one-pedal mode, and calm motorway manners make it genuinely enjoyable to drive. However, rear seat space is tight for larger child seats, and heated seats are only available on the top Iconic trim. Wind noise at higher speeds is noticeable, though overall refinement is good. For those seeking an electric family car with personality and practicality, the Renault 4 is highly recommendable.

Best for: Families seeking an electric car with character and charm, buyers wanting excellent equipment and technology, those prioritising fun driving dynamics, and drivers looking for competitive pricing in the compact EV segment.

Not ideal for: Those with large rear-facing child seats requiring maximum rear legroom, buyers needing heated seats as standard across all trims, or those sensitive to wind noise at motorway speeds.


Comparison vs Key Rivals



The Verdict

You should buy the Renault 4 if: You're seeking an electric family car with genuine character and charm, want excellent technology and equipment, prioritise engaging driving dynamics, or are looking for competitive pricing in the compact EV segment.

Consider alternatives if: You need maximum rear seat space for large child seats, require heated seats as standard across all trims, or are sensitive to wind noise at motorway speeds.

Competitive Position: The Renault 4 is a standout in the compact electric crossover market, offering superior character and interior design compared to rivals like the Jeep Avenger and Fiat 500 Hybrid. Whilst the Renault 5 edges ahead with a higher expert rating and user score, the Renault 4 provides more practicality with its larger boot and crossover versatility. It undercuts the Jeep Avenger on value and delivers more personality than conventional competitors. For buyers wanting an electric car that's genuinely enjoyable to drive and live with, the Renault 4 is highly recommendable, particularly for families prioritising style, technology, and affordability over maximum rear legroom.
