Renault 4ever EV, the myth will be reborn and become the new electric car of the diamond brand

It will be called Renault 4ever EV and will join the future Renault 5 and Renault MeganE as part of the 100% electric range of the diamond brand. Renault has confirmed that it will revive the Renault 4 and turn it into a new retro-styled electric car. This new model could arrive alongside the Renault 5 by 2025.

Luca de Meo, the company’s CEO, has confirmed the rumours and assured that the Renault 4 will come back to life. This iconic model was produced between 1961 and 1994. The brand revealed this during the event called ElectroPop and assured that 90% of its production will be fully electric by 2030.

Renault 4ever EV, everything we know about it

Luca de Meo has revealed some details about the new Renault 4ever. The model will use the platform called CMF-BEV, the same one the fully electric Renault 5 will use. While the Renault 5 will be conceived as an electric sports car, the Renault 4ever could have a compact SUV body. Gilles Vidal, Renault’s head of design, has pointed out that, like the Renault 5, the Renault 4ever will have a “retro-modern” style.

The Renault 4ever will benefit from the new battery and electric motor technology that the Renault Group is developing which, according to the firm, will reduce the costs of small electric vehicles. Renault states that this technology on the CMF-BEV platform will allow it to reduce the cost of the Renault 5 by 33% compared to the Renault Zoe. This will give the model a price close to 20,000 euros in 2023.

The Renault Group’s goal of making up to 90% of its sales electric by 2030 will require production to reach one million electric vehicles by that date, using both the CMF-BEV platform and the larger CMF-EV platform that underpins the Renault MeganeE and the Nissan Ariya.

The Renault Group will focus its electric vehicle production at its new ‘ElectriCity’ hub, which spans three plants in northern France. Both the Renault 5 and the MeganE will be produced there, probably along with the 4ever. Renault has also entered a partnership with Envision AESC to build a battery factory in Douai, which will open in 2024 with an annual production of 9GWh and a plan to expand to 24GWh by 2030. In addition, Renault will work with the French company Verkor to develop a new high-performance battery for larger models, which will be built in a new separate plant that will open with a capacity of 10GWh and has the potential to increase it to 20GWh by 2030.
