Renault has updated the Renault 4 E-Tech electric with modest range improvements, additional equipment and a lower entry price. Unveiled at the Paris Motor Show 2026, the revised model also introduces the Roland-Garros special edition and a commercial vehicle variant designed for business use.
The update follows changes to the Renault 5 E-Tech electric and includes revised exterior mirrors and an underbody panel intended to improve aerodynamic efficiency.
Range Increases Across the Lineup
The updated Renault 4 E-Tech electric gains a small increase in claimed driving range across its main configurations.
The Urban Range version, equipped with a 40-kWh battery and a 90-kW motor, now offers a WLTP range of up to 310 kilometres, an increase of two kilometres. The Comfort Range version, with a 52-kWh battery and a 110-kW motor, reaches up to 415 kilometres, six kilometres more than before.
The Plein Sud version, which features a fabric folding roof, now offers a claimed range of up to 402 kilometres, an improvement of 10 kilometres.
Renault has also reduced the model’s starting price to €27,690, a decrease of €1,810 compared with the previous entry-level price.
Renault 4 Roland-Garros Special Edition
Renault is introducing the Renault 4 Roland-Garros E-Tech electric as a special edition with a starting price of €37,490.
The exterior features a two-tone finish with black A-pillars and roof rails. Buyers can choose from Arctic White, Slate Grey, Black Pearl Black and Terracotta Brown. Silver trim strips carrying Roland-Garros emblems, black 18-inch wheels and Terracotta Brown decorative elements complete the exterior treatment.
The interior draws on the visual identity of the tennis tournament. It features light-grey seat upholstery made from 100% recycled fabric with a woven pattern, alongside blue fabric accents on the armrests, door panels and dashboard. The gear selector is styled after a tennis racket handle.
Other equipment includes an illuminated dashboard trim strip, wireless charging pad, sand-coloured floor mats and aluminium door sills.
In the Comfort Range configuration, the special edition offers a claimed WLTP range of up to 402 kilometres. For the German market, the Plein Sud folding fabric roof is included as standard equipment.
Updated Driver Assistance and Charging Features
The revised Renault 4 receives several technology updates aimed at improving driving assistance, energy management and everyday usability.
A 360-degree camera system is now available as an option on the Techno trim and standard from the Iconic trim upwards. Battery pre-conditioning can also be activated manually without relying on a navigation route.
The My Renault app gains a notification function that can alert drivers up to five minutes before the end of a scheduled charging period.
Renault has also introduced an Eco-Driving Assistant that analyses the road ahead and recommends when drivers should release the accelerator to conserve energy. A new automatic Smart Mode adjusts driving settings according to conditions, with the aim of balancing efficiency in urban traffic and responsiveness during overtaking. Drivers can activate the function through voice commands or the vehicle’s display.
The emergency braking assistant can detect when a driver becomes unresponsive, based on factors including eye contact with the road and hands on the steering wheel, and bring the vehicle to a complete stop.
The eCall emergency system has also been updated to operate over 5G. Another addition is a ventilated magnetic charging pad supporting the Qi2 standard.
For easier access to the cargo area, the electric tailgate can open automatically when the vehicle detects the keyholder standing behind it, without requiring a foot movement beneath the bumper.
Renault 4 Extra Adds Commercial Vehicle Configuration
Renault is also offering the Renault 4 Extra, an N1-approved commercial variant intended for the European market.
Based on the Techno trim, the two-seat model is converted directly at Renault’s Maubeuge plant by specialist converter Qstomize. It cannot be converted back to passenger-car use.
The rear seats are replaced by a fixed thermoformed load area with a partition grille, a load-compartment cover and lashing points for securing cargo. With the 52-kWh battery, the vehicle offers a maximum payload of up to 330 kilograms.
The cargo area provides up to 1,045 litres of load volume, including a 55-litre underfloor compartment for charging cables. Renault also lists a volume of 0.94 cubic metres under VDA measurement standards.
Standard equipment includes tinted rear windows, additional driver-assistance systems and a 10-inch infotainment display with navigation.
The commercial variant extends the Renault 4 range beyond private passenger use, while the broader model-year update combines incremental efficiency improvements with additional equipment and a lower starting price.
