Introducing The New Renault 4
As a compact SUV, the new Renault 4 brings a modern electric setup that's easy to drive day to day. It's designed to be practical first: you get a usable boot, a compact silhouette for UK roads, and charging speeds that fit real routines.
Under the body, the new Renault 4 gives you a strong balance for commuting, school runs, and weekend trips without making charging feel like a constant chore. When you do need to top up, it should only take around 30 minutes to go from 15% to 80% on a compatible rapid charger.
If you'd like to see how it feels in person, we can help you book a test drive at Vertu.

New Renault 4 FAQs
Is the new Renault 4 easy to park in tight spaces?
It's a good fit for everyday UK parking because the Renault 4 has a compact length of 4,144 mm, and Evolution trim includes a reversing camera as standard. If you spend a lot of time parking on busy streets or tight supermarket bays, Techno trim adds park assist and front parking sensors, which takes the guesswork out of slow-speed manoeuvres.
Should I choose Evolution, Techno, or Iconic trim on a new Renault 4?
Evolution covers the essentials well, so it suits drivers who want keyless entry, climate control, and a reversing camera without paying for extras they won't use. Techno makes sense if you want more driver assistance for mixed driving, especially adaptive cruise control and the extra parking help. Iconic leans into comfort, so it's a strong option if you value the heated front seats, heated steering wheel, and blind-spot monitoring for daily confidence.
Should I choose a fixed or flexible servicing plan for a new Renault 4?
A fixed plan can suit you if you prefer knowing your costs up front, especially if you plan to keep the car for several years. Flexible servicing can work well if your mileage changes year to year, or if you want service timing to follow how you actually use the car. If you'd like to explore what's available locally, our teams can talk you through Renault servicing and help you choose something that fits your driving routine.
What insurance group is the new Renault 4 likely to sit in?
Insurance groups can vary depending on insurer and specification, but current UK listings commonly place the Renault 4 E-Tech around insurance group 26. Your quote still depends on your postcode, driving history, and the exact car, so it's worth checking with your insurer once you've chosen a trim.
Is the new Renault 4 covered by a warranty?
Yes. In the UK, Renault typically covers the vehicle with a three-year / 100,000-mile warranty (whichever comes first), and the high-voltage battery is covered for eight years / 100,000 miles (again, whichever comes first). Always check the latest terms at the point of order, especially if you're comparing different offers.
Are the tech features of the new Renault 4 easy to use?
They are designed to be straightforward, especially if you already use smartphone navigation and apps. The central touchscreen supports wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, so your usual maps and music carry straight over. On Techno and Iconic, Google built-in mapping and EV route guidance can be useful if you want the car to help plan charging stops on longer routes.
