Renault is unveiling a modern, all-electric version of its Renault 4 supermini at the Paris Motor Show. It paves the way for the future all-electric B segment SUV.

The 4EVER Trophy show car that Renault is unveiling at the 2022 Paris Motor Show is its second iconic model to get an electric reboot, following Renault 5 Prototype

The show car has generous curves and a very elaborate grille. The 'ultra tech' connections between the spokes and bodywork bring an added layer of precision and modernity. The same can be said for the meticulously honed rim around the roof.

4EVER Trophy puts a new twist on the Renault 4's iconic wide horizontal grille featuring the round, built-in lamps, now with Matrix LED lights. While the recognisable pill-shaped rear lights have also been entirely redesigned, they remain readily recognisable and are a clear nod to the original 4L.

The vast body protection panels on the lower section are made with a considerable 20 cm clearance around the wheel arches. The high-seated body highlights the width of the 753 mm wheels mounted on 19 inch rims. The underbelly has been reinforced to provide greater protection for the battery located in the middle of the chassis.

Each wheel on 4EVER Trophy has a visible compressor that can be readily adjusted from inside the car to adapt the tyre pressure to suit the terrain.

Renault has not gone into detail about the electric propulsion system, but it has confirmed some important data. At the heart of this concept car is a 42 kWh lithium-ion battery whose main purpose is to power a single 100 kW (136 hp) motor.

Renault 4EVER Trophy technical specs:

  • Length: 4,160 mm
  • Width: 1,950 mm
  • Height: 1,900 mm

Wheelbase: 2,570 mm

Front and rear tyres: 255/55R19

Powertrain: full-electric, wound rotor

The 4EVER Trophy show car paves the way for the future all-electric B Segment SUV. Like the Renault 5, it will be made using the new CMF-BEV platform for electric vehicles. The market positioning of the future Renault 5 and Renault 4 will be much like that of Clio hatchback and Captur small crossover.

Like its predecessor, the future vehicle built off 4EVER Trophy's design will be made in France. It will go on sale in 2025.
