Renault will debut a cutting-edge, battery-powered update to their classic 4 at the Paris Motor Show. The Renault 4EVER Trophy commemorates the 4L Trophy's 25th anniversary as a humanitarian rally, and the concept car paves the path for an all-electric B-SUV of the future.
Renault 4 is a cultural landmark. For its 60-year publishing history, it has bridged cultural and generational gaps, selling over 8 million copies in over 100 countries. It's a car for people because it's low-key and stylish. Production of the Renault 4 ceased 30 years ago, but the 4L has remained a popular vehicle to this day.
Presented at the 2022 Paris Motor Show, the 4EVER Trophy is the second iconic Renault model to be reimagined as an electric vehicle, following the Renault 5 Prototype. That is to say, Renault is drawing on its rich history to enhance its plans to go fully electric.
The Renault 4EVER Trophy show car is an homage to the classic in the form of a cutting-edge redesign. Immediately noticeable are the exterior's obvious design cues from the 4L. The silhouette is unmistakable thanks to the return of the original model's large bonnet, bumper, and angled rear portion; the rear side windows, with their rounded edges, is located slightly above the back wheels; and so on. The exhibition automobile is rounded and luxurious in appearance. The "ultra-technical" bolts connecting the spokes to the frame are reliable and cutting-edge. The line around the roof, which is also precisely formed, is an example.
The Renault 4EVER Trophy show car is an all-terrain, electric vehicle that goes where other cars don't dare. The electric motor is indicative of a future manufacturing version.
