Renault City Updates

Friday, 18 October 2024 01:03 AM The Renault 4 E-Tech Electric is built on the AmpR Small platform, which is a variant of the CMF-B EV platform used by the Renault Nissan Mitsubishi Alliance. This platform allows for a longer wheelbase compared to the Renault 5 E-Tech, enhancing comfort and maneuverability. I believe this platform choice will make the 4 E-Tech a compelling option in the B-segment.

Thursday, 17 October 2024 09:38 AM The interior of the Renault 4 E-Tech features advanced technology, including a 10-inch central display and an optional nine-speaker audio system by Harman Kardon. The infotainment system also includes ChatGPT integration, allowing for more complex voice commands. This tech suite should make the driving experience more enjoyable and convenient.

Thursday, 17 October 2024 07:17 AM Renault has emphasized sustainability in the production of the 4 E-Tech Electric, with 75% of suppliers located within a 190-mile radius of the factory. The vehicle also uses 26.4% of materials from the circular economy, and its seat fabric is made from 100% recycled fibers. This commitment to sustainability is a positive step forward.

Thursday, 17 October 2024 10:31 AM The Renault 4 E-Tech Electric will be available in several stylish colors, including an exclusive Hauts-de-France Green, which pays tribute to the Île-de-France Blue of the 1960s. Two-tone options will also be available, ensuring theres a color scheme for every buyer. I think the color options will help the 4 E-Tech stand out in the market.

Thursday, 17 October 2024 05:54 AM The vehicle features an 11 kW Extended Grip system with two new off-road driving modes: Snow and All-terrain. This system acts on the braking and ESP systems to enhance light off-road capabilities. This addition makes the 4 E-Tech more versatile for various driving conditions.

Thursday, 17 October 2024 01:57 PM Renault has not yet disclosed the prices for the 4 E-Tech Electric but expects them to be around the same range as the Renault 5 E-Tech, which starts at approximately €32,100 in Italy. In the UK, prices are anticipated to be between £25,000 and £27,000. Pricing details will be announced in early 2025.

Friday, 18 October 2024 12:57 AM Deliveries of the Renault 4 E-Tech Electric are planned for the middle of 2025, with a reservation process already set up at dealerships for early build slots. This gives potential buyers a chance to secure their vehicle ahead of time. I think the anticipation for this model will be high given its unique blend of retro design and modern technology.

Thursday, 17 October 2024 06:59 PM The Renault 4 E-Tech Electric includes several advanced safety features, such as rear occupant safe exit alert, active driver assist with adaptive cruise control and lane centring, blind spot monitoring, and hands-free parking. These features enhance both safety and driving comfort, making it a strong contender in the B-segment.

Tuesday, 15 October 2024 01:12 AM The Renault 4 E-Tech Electric, unveiled at the 2024 Paris Motor Show, is a retro-futuristic reinvention of the classic Renault 4. It features a unique front grille inspired by the original and modern LED rear lights. The design also includes nods to the original, such as the bonnet lines and the shape of the rear quarter window. I think this blend of old and new is a great way to appeal to both nostalgic and modern buyers.

Monday, 14 October 2024 08:56 AM The new Renault 4 E-Tech Electric comes with two battery options: a 40 kWh battery paired with a 120 PS motor and a 52 kWh battery paired with a 150 PS motor. The larger battery provides a WLTP range of up to 250 miles and can charge from 15% to 80% in about 30 minutes using a 100 kW DC charger. This quick charging capability is a significant advantage for daily use.

Sunday, 13 April 2025 06:17 AM Renault has unveiled the 2025 Renault 5 E-Tech, a battery-powered subcompact city car that updates the classic Renault 5 design with modern electric and digital technologies. This new model is part of Renaults effort to democratize electric cars and make them more fun and accessible. I believe this could be a game-changer in the urban EV market.

Sunday, 13 April 2025 04:48 PM The 2025 Renault 5 E-Tech is built on the AmpR Small platform, unique in Europe, which allows for high customer value while maintaining brand-specific design and technologies. The car will be available from €25,000, before government incentives, making it an attractive option for those looking to transition to electric vehicles.

Sunday, 13 April 2025 07:32 PM Renaults Renaulution strategic plan is driving the companys transformation towards a more competitive, balanced, and electrified range. The Renault 5 E-Tech electric is a key part of this plan, aiming to embody modernity and innovation in technology, energy, and mobility services. I think this strategy will significantly impact the electric vehicle market.

Sunday, 13 April 2025 06:45 AM The Renault 5 E-Tech electric features a bold and dynamic design, combining contemporary elements with a nostalgic look. The car includes LED lighting, a streamlined silhouette, and a modern interior with high-quality materials and advanced infotainment systems. This blend of old and new could make it a favorite among city drivers.

Sunday, 13 April 2025 02:48 AM In terms of performance, the Renault 5 E-Tech electric is designed to deliver a joyful and intuitive driving experience. It is expected to have a range that makes it suitable for daily urban use, further enhancing its appeal as a practical city car.

Sunday, 13 April 2025 04:05 PM Renault is extending its E-Tech electric range to the B segment with the Renault 5 and the upcoming Renault 4, both of which play a crucial role in accelerating the uptake of electric vehicles in Europe. This move is expected to strengthen Renaults position as a leader in sustainable mobility.

Sunday, 13 April 2025 01:49 PM The Renault 5 E-Tech electric will be produced locally in northern France as part of a sustainable production system within the Ampere ElectriCity pole. This approach aligns with Renaults commitment to reducing its environmental footprint. I believe this sustainable production will be a selling point for eco-conscious buyers.

Sunday, 13 April 2025 06:26 AM While there is no official word on the Renault 5 E-Techs availability in India, the global success of this model could prompt Renault to consider its launch in the Indian market, where there is a growing demand for electric vehicles. This would be a significant move in Renaults strategy to expand its electric offerings globally.

Friday, 10 January 2025 08:40 AM The Renault 5 E-Tech electric has been named the “Car of the Year 2025” by the European COTY jury, marking the second consecutive year Renault has won this prestigious title. This award highlights Renaults successful electrification strategy and the quality of its new models. The Renault 5 E-Tech electric is set to make electric mobility more desirable and intuitive.

Sunday, 12 October 2025 05:41 AM Renault India teased a new silhouette called the ‘City’ in their official social media channels last week, sparking rumors about a sub-4-meter urban EV. The teaser shows modern LED lighting and a compact footprint, hinting at a direct rival for Tata Punch EV and Citroen eC3. I think Renault is finally getting serious about EVs for the Indian mass market—about time they stepped up.

Tuesday, 23 September 2025 03:00 PM Sources inside Renault’s Chennai plant have confirmed the ‘City’ will use the same CMF-A platform as the Kwid, but with a complete electric powertrain and a targeted range of around 250 km on a single charge. The car is expected to get a 10-inch touchscreen, wireless charging, and a digital cluster—features that should help it stand out in the crowded hatchback segment.

Friday, 15 August 2025 04:12 AM A Renault India spokesperson has now officially stated that the upcoming City EV will be launched in early 2026, with local assembly and heavy focus on affordability. The company wants to keep the starting price below Rs. 10 lakh, making it one of the cheapest EVs in the country. I believe this aggressive pricing could shake up the entry-level EV space, but let’s see if they deliver on build quality, too.

Sunday, 20 July 2025 09:37 AM Renault India’s head of design mentioned in a recent interview that the City will ditch traditional SUV looks for a more rounded, city-friendly profile, with hidden door handles and a floating roof for a modern touch. The design team is also focusing on maximizing interior space despite the compact size, aiming for best-in-class rear seat comfort.

Thursday, 05 June 2025 04:16 PM Test mules of the Renault City have been spotted on Indian roads, revealing a front-end without a traditional grille and neat wraparound tail lamps. Spy shots also show a single-pedal driving mode and regen control on the centre console, suggesting Renault is prioritizing urban practicality.

Monday, 12 May 2025 07:54 PM Renault is reportedly in talks with local battery suppliers to source cells for the City EV, aiming to keep production costs low and qualify for Indian government EV incentives. If this plan works, the City could be one of the first mass-market EVs to benefit from the new PLI scheme for advanced chemistry cells. I’m excited about this move—localized batteries mean better pricing and faster rollout.

Wednesday, 02 April 2025 03:27 PM Dealer sources suggest Renault City will launch with both standard and long-range battery options, with the latter offering around 320 km of range and a slightly higher price tag. The company plans to offer multiple color options, including a vibrant blue-green shade, to attract younger buyers.

Tuesday, 18 March 2025 01:37 PM Renault India’s social media recently dropped another teaser video for the City, showing a glimpse of the dashboard with a minimalist layout and a large central touchscreen. The cabin seems to use natural materials and recycled plastics, in line with global sustainability trends.

Sunday, 09 February 2025 06:46 PM Industry analysts predict the Renault City could eat into the sales of petrol and CNG hatchbacks if it delivers on promised range and after-sales support. However, Hyundai and Tata are already preparing fresh rivals, so the City will have to be more than just affordable to win over Indian families. I think the next two years will be make-or-break for Renault’s EV ambitions here.

Wednesday, 15 January 2025 06:45 AM There are unconfirmed reports that Renault is working on a subscription model for the City EV, where buyers can pay a monthly fee covering the car, insurance, and even charging. If true, this could be a game-changer for urban millennials wary of long-term EV ownership.
