Launched in 1961, the Renault 4 is getting a second lease of life. On the occasion of the Paris Motor Show which is being held this week in Paris, the diamond brand has just unveiled its new 100% electric R4. Grille, lights and rear window, bottom of doors… the shapes of this new version are reminiscent of those of the original model with, however, a good dose of modernity. Under the hood, the Renault 4 E-Tech is offered with two electric engines to choose from (110 kW motor and 52 kWh battery / 90 kW motor and 40 kWh battery). For its launch, the French manufacturer has therefore decided to highlight four French start-ups pioneers in low-carbon mobility. Among them, the Toulouse aircraft manufacturer Aura Aero.
