In Brief
The Renault 4 E-Tech electric benefits from a substantial update presented at the Paris Auto Show 2026, expanding its lineup with fresh technology and improvements. Range grows to 310 km WLTP for the 40 kWh battery and 415 km for the 52 kWh, and new variants appear—including Roland-Garros and Jogging—alongside a Société Van Extra version designed for professionals. The tech and driving-assist systems are modernized, while Renault offers tailor-made solutions for different types of drivers. This upgrade makes the neo-retro city car far more versatile and well-suited to daily use.
One electric model, and then years of quiet? On Renault’s side, the opposite is true. The brand updates its cars in small steps, month after month, guided by real-world usage and field feedback. That exact approach is happening with the Renault 4 E-Tech electric, which benefits from a wave of updates at the Paris Auto Show 2026.
More range, new versions, enriched driver assistance, and a dedicated professional variant—this neo-retro city car keeps evolving. At the heart of this upgrade, the Renault 4 E-Tech electric becomes more versatile thanks to revised 40 and 52 kWh batteries, a Roland-Garros special, a Jogging entry with an LFP battery, and a Société Van Extra version. Together they redraw the lineup and concretely alter everyday driving for a wide array of motorists.
Greater Range and an Expanded Renault 4 E-Tech electric lineup
Leading the charge in this expansion is the improved range for both batteries already offered. The so-called “urban range” version with a 40 kWh battery, paired with the 90 kW (120 hp) motor in Evolution trim, now claims up to 310 km WLTP, with a certified consumption of 14.7 kWh/100 km. The “comfort range” 52 kWh battery, coupled with a 110 kW (150 hp) motor in Evolution, Techno, Iconic, and Roland-Garros trims, rises to 415 km WLTP, with 14.4 kWh/100 km. Even the Plein Sud, though its canvas roof weighs on efficiency, now reaches 400 km WLTP with this battery/motor combination, at 14.9 kWh/100 km. These gains come from aerodynamic work, including underbody covers and redesigned mirrors. In France, as of October 1, 2026 and after the Coup de pouce incentive of €7,070 already deducted, the 40 kWh Evolution starts at €22,920 and the 52 kWh Evolution at €26,420.
The price rise in the range is accompanied by new variants. The special Renault 4 Roland-Garros E-Tech electric adopts a distinctly Sport-Chic vibe: two-tone body colors (Glacier White, Urban Gray, Starry Black, or Terracotta Brown) with black pillar and roof arches, front fender accents in Argent with a Roland-Garros emblem, matte black “Parisienne” 18-inch diamond-cut wheels with a Terracotta Brown center, plus matching bumper graphics. Inside, the front and rear seats are upholstered in light gray 100% recycled fabric, featuring a graphic weave inspired by technical sportswear, with mesh panels, lateral supports, and blue textured-grain leather accents on the armrest. The Roland-Garros thermo-embossed logo sits on the seatbacks, the door panels echo the fabric, and the lower dashboard stripe glows with an anodized metal look that reads “Roland-Garros Paris.” The e-pop shifter lever mimics a tennis racket grip, and the center console adds a Qi2 wireless charging pad in terre battue color, complemented by floor mats labeled R4 Terre Battue and brushed aluminum door sills marked “Roland-Garros Paris.” This version is offered exclusively with the 52 kWh “comfort range” battery for a maximum 415 km WLTP, and starts at €31,420 (after deducting the Coup de pouce incentive of €7,070). An optional Plein Sud canvas roof is also available for ordering.
Technologies, new powertrains and the Société Van: Renault 4 E-Tech electric refines itself
In the entry tier, a Jogging trim will arrive by the end of the year. It adds standard manual climate control, dual OpenR displays (7-inch digital instrument cluster and a 10.1-inch multimedia screen), full-screen Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, a 60/40 split-folding rear bench, rear parking sensors, and 18-inch wheels with monotone steel covers. Like the rest of the lineup, it includes a HD rear camera and a digital preconditioning feature for the battery. Under the hood, a new compact 80 kW (110 hp) motor, shared with the Twingo E-Tech electric family, powers the car with a 37 kWh LFP (lithium-iron-phosphate) battery, 36.5 kWh usable, using a cell-to-pack architecture to optimize energy density for the given size and weight. The result is up to 305 km WLTP range, a 0-60 mph time around 10.2 seconds, and charging from 10 to 80% in 3 hours 30 minutes on a 6.6 kW onboard charger, or just 25 minutes on an 80 kW DC charger.
Technological features also advance for the entire Renault 4 E-Tech electric family. All versions gain a high-definition rear camera, while a 360° camera is offered as an option on Techno. Manual battery preconditioning becomes standard via the central display to optimize fast-charging times without routing the trip through navigation. The My Renault app now sends a charging-completion notification five minutes before the estimated finish time or as soon as there is enough charge to resume driving. Driving aids expand with a predictive eco-driving assistant that anticipates turns and roundabouts to nudge the driver to ease up, and an emergency-stop assistant that slows the car to a stop in its lane if the driver does not react. After the integration of Google Gemini, Google’s conversational assistant, the eCall emergency system gains 4G and 5G compatibility, and a new Qi2 magnetic, ventilated wireless phone charger appears (capable of recovering up to 50% of battery in an hour without overheating). The Smart driving mode replaces the Personal mode, automatically managing Eco, Comfort, and Sport according to driving style, and for models with a motorized tailgate, the tailgate can open automatically as the hands-free card approaches, without a foot gesture.
Professionals are not forgotten, with the arrival of the Renault 4 Société Van Extra, the second non-reversible Société Van variant approved for N1. Sold in France, Spain, Austria, Germany, the Netherlands, and Italy, it mirrors a Techno-level equipment load for private buyers: dark-tinted rear windows, a 10-inch multimedia screen with navigation and enhanced driver aids. At the rear, the seats and belts give way to a thermoformed tub with a charging-stop system and lashing hooks. Cargo volume reaches 940 dm³ according to the VDA standard, or 1,045 liters, including 36 dm³ (55 liters) under the floor for storing the charging cable, with a payload up to 360 kg on the 40 kWh battery and 330 kg on the 52 kWh battery. A cargo-area separation grille, a luggage cover, and a non-slip mat complete the setup. The Renault 4 Société Van transformation is performed at the Maubeuge Plant by Qstomize, Renault’s subsidiary specializing in upfit work for passenger and commercial vehicles for almost four decades. The Renault 4 Société Van Extra is priced at €30,967 excluding tax, underscoring the extension of Renault’s continuous-improvement philosophy into the professional-vehicle segment.
