The new Renault 4 is available now in Ireland

The new Renault 4 has arrived in Ireland, Renault’s new retro-inspired, electric small SUV. 

It’s the charismatic follow-up to the Renault 5, which was recently awarded Irish Car of the Year 2026.

Built on the same platform as the 5, it offers a little more space inside and a bigger boot, all wrapped up in a familiar design inspired by the original Renault 4 that was a big hit in the 60s, 70s and 80s. 

There are two battery options available for the new 4. Entry-level evolution models come with a 40kWh battery producing 120hp and around 308km of range, while a larger 52kWh battery powers a 150hp electric motor and delivers up to 410km of driving range. DC fast charging allows a 15–80 per cent top-up in around 30 minutes.

Pricing starts from €27,995 rising to €34,995, with three trims available: evolution, techno and iconic.

Next summer, techno and iconic versions will also be offered with a fun “plein sud” electric canvas roof.

Renault’s OpenR Link infotainment system comes as standard, featuring a 10.1-inch touchscreen with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Higher trims add built-in Google services, including Google Maps with EV route planning, alongside a 10-inch digital driver display.

The French car brand looks set to strengthen its small car range even further with a new generation Clio on the way. The Renault Twingo electric city car could also make a return to the Irish market in 2026.
