Renault could increase a different reborn icon to its line-up in the in close proximity to long term in the type of a new, all-electric version of the four, soon after a trademark application for a new Renault four badge – in the similar design and style as that uncovered on the new five Prototype – was discovered. 

It will be a different key vehicle in an electrification generate that will see Renault start 7 new completely-electric autos by 2025. Earlier in 2021, the model discovered the stunning Renault five Prototype, which is owing in 2023 as an inexpensive electric supermini. 

Renault hasn’t long gone on document with any options to revive the four. But, there has been lots of speculation suggesting that the model will commit to a reboot of the design as a different inexpensive compact EV with large inspiration from the original, which was a person of the brand’s finest profits successes.

Over a 31 yr creation run spanning from 1961 to 1992, the model generated more than eight million models of the four and its less costly Renault 3 derivative. 

This yr sees the original four celebrate its sixtieth anniversary, and Renault has teased that there will be a “surprise” dependent on the 4L van in November. That could be a hint that we could see a principle previewing the vehicle by the finish of 2021, and ties in with further rumours that the new four will be a low-cost, electric industrial vehicle counterpart to the passenger carrying five.
