Renault 4 Electric

The Renault 4 Electric has an estimated charging cost of about 1.8p a mile on an off-peak tariff, about £1,907 a year below the petrol equivalent using this comparison's assumptions. Rear legroom is tighter than in most rivals, so check passenger space as well as running costs.

What owners say: Owners and test drivers like the design, which stands out from other small electric SUVs. Heated seats, a heated steering wheel and the powered tailgate come only on the top trims.

What Owners Say

Positive

Owners Love

  • Owners and test drivers like the design, which stands out from other small electric SUVs.
  • The boot has a low, flat sill that makes loading easy, and it is bigger than the Renault 5's.
  • Rear legroom is better than in the Renault 5.

Watch Out For

  • Heated seats, a heated steering wheel and the powered tailgate come only on the top trims.
  • Owners report a winter range drop of around 20%, with some seeing about 130 miles.
  • Some owners report the car's own charge scheduling and the app failing to start a timed charge after it has gone to sleep.

Owner Tips

  • If you charge on a smart tariff, let the tariff or charger app control the schedule and check a charge has actually started.
  • Use the Perso button by the steering wheel to set your preferred driver-assist settings in one press.
  • Drive the Renault 4 and the Renault 5 back to back: the 4 trades some sharpness for space.
