Bold modern interpretation

The Renault 4EVER Trophy concept car evokes and revives memories. Beneath his muscular body, a stylistic reference to the Renault 4 is clearly visible. He emphasizes the most important features of the original:

  • the silhouette of the car can be recognized immediately by the characteristic hood and sloping rear with a protruding bumper,
  • side windows in the form of a rounded trapezoid are located exactly above the rear wheel,
  • the front part of the wings is smooth - without built-in styling elements and lights,
  • the fenders start just above the wheel arch covers and reach the bumper.

Designers harmoniously combined the retro style with a sophisticated and technologically advanced body line. The show car attracts attention with its huge shape and exquisite grille. Perfectly contoured arches and connections between body elements testify to the perfect mastery of technology and emphasize the precision and modernity of the car. The roof was made in the same way.

Renault 4 is a mythical car. The myth is that he is always alive. And today we want to highlight this versatility of the Renault 4. This is a car that everyone likes. We want to find this dimension in a modern interpretation of this motorized model. — Luca de Meo, CEO of RENAULT SA

To emphasize the modernity of the 4EVER Trophy, we decided to use a minimalist design in a high-tech style, without unnecessary elements. Every detail has been carefully crafted. We had to find the right stylistic solutions both for those who remember the Renault 4 and for the younger generation. — Gilles Vidal, Renault Design Director

Characteristic lighting design

The 4EVER Trophy offers a modern interpretation of the Renault 4's distinctive horizontal grille with round headlights featuring LED matrix technology. The innovative design solution gives the car a strong personality. The oval taillights, despite the changes made, are also very reminiscent of the original. They were one of the hallmarks of the old Renault 4.

Light SUV built for explorers

Just take a look at the 4EVER show car – its off-road look evokes the call of off-the-beaten-path electric adventure. The electric drive will also appear in future production cars.

The underbody, painted in gunmetal silver, is ready to take on the vast expanses. The new show car clearly shows that it is not afraid of any obstacles and calls to seek and discover new directions. The silver aluminum bodywork with fuchsia accents (roof rack straps, damper springs, wheel badges, etc.) is an expression of controlled nonchalance. 4EVER Trophy creates a competitive atmosphere with its appearance. The simple hood has a large air outlet that improves the performance of the radiator located in the center of the bumper. The short front overhang improves off-road performance.

There is a spare tire on the carbon roof rack. A shovel and sand wedges are located at the top of the tailgate to keep the driver aware of any situation.

Massive lower body covers turn into wheel arch covers protruding by 20 cm. The high-slung body emphasizes the width of the 753mm tires mounted on 19-inch rims. The lower reinforcements also protect the battery located in the center of the chassis. Each wheel of the 4EVER Trophy is equipped with a visible compressor that allows you to instantly adjust tire pressure to suit terrain conditions from the comfort of your cab.

The exterior style effectively demonstrates its off-road character. The 4EVER Trophy is designed to simply enjoy your ride wherever you go. The electric Renault 4 of tomorrow will be as versatile as the original that can still be found on the roads from 1962 until today.

Future electric B-segment SUV

The 4EVER Trophy show car heralds the future 100% B-segment electric SUV, a vehicle that will perform well in and out of the city. Like the future Renault 5, it is built on the CMF-BEV floor platform designed for B-segment electric vehicles. It will provide excellent range, as well as acoustics and dynamics without compromising the car's appearance.

As for the future Renault range, the positioning of the future electric Renault 5 and Renault 4 will be in line with today's Clio and Captur models. The 4EVER Trophy and Renault 5 Prototype car shows are the epitome of the New Wave at the Renault booth at the Paris Motor Show.
