2025 RENAULT 4 E-TECH ELECTRIC REVIEW

EV Channels Review

The 2025 Renault 4 E-Tech Electric revives an iconic nameplate with a blend of retro charm and modern EV practicality. The reviewer highlights the "Techno" trim as the sweet spot, offering a good balance of features and price. Key strengths include its distinctive, retro-inspired styling, a surprisingly practical and versatile boot space with a low loading lip and removable section, and a comfortable, quiet ride thanks to well-tuned suspension and sound-deadening materials. The interior, particularly the denim-inspired upholstery, is praised for its fun and unique design. The Google built-in infotainment system is lauded for its speed and functionality. However, the rear seating is noted as being quite tight, not ideal for three adults, and the lack of rear seat ventilation is a drawback on warmer days. The reviewer also points out an overly crowded steering wheel with too many controls and the absence of a dedicated park button as minor annoyances. Despite these points, the Renault 4 E-Tech Electric is presented as a distinctive, comfortable, and genuinely practical electric car that successfully channels the ethos of its predecessor for a new era, potentially making it a more compelling choice than the Renault 5 for some buyers.
