Renault has provided the first photos of an electric subcompact crossover set to debut this month at the 2024 Paris auto show.

The crossover is a spiritual successor for the iconic Renault 4 launched in 1961, and its design was previewed at the 2022 Paris auto show by the 4Ever Trophy concept. The automaker also launched a 5 electric hatchback earlier this year, making it another iconic model from the French brand’s past that has been reborn for the electric era.

The original 4, also known as the 4L, was produced for more than 30 years and offered in a variety of body styles, though primarily as a four-door hatchback.

The new 4 E-Tech (E-Tech is Renault’s designation for EVs) will measure 163 inches long, or about 11 inches less than the latest Mini Countryman.

The 4 E-Tech will use the same CMF-B EV platform from the Renault Nissan Mitsubishi Alliance found in the 5 E-Tech, Renault has confirmed. However, Renault’s version of the platform is a unique, lower-cost design that the automaker has branded the AmpR Small.

Sales of the 4 E-Tech and 5 E-Tech start next year in markets where the French brand operates. A reservation process has been set up at dealerships for buyers looking to secure an early build slot.

The Paris auto show opens its doors to the media on Oct. 14. Renault’s Alpine performance brand will also use the event to preview the upcoming A390 electric compact crossover.
