"This freshen-up means we can continue to offer a premium mid-size SUV at an attainable price point," said Renault Australia general manager Glen Sealey. "We know there is a lot of competition in the mid-size SUV market but our customers appreciate the ease of functionality of our car. "The cabin controls are familiar and easy to use, and our safety systems are intuitive and not intrusive, all while keeping you safe on the road. "This update to our flagship model gives buyers a reason to take a closer look and add it to their consideration list in one of the most hotly contested segments of the new-car market."

Renault 4 Interior Layout & Technology
Interior What is it like on the inside? It hardly takes an automotive Inspector Clouseau to figure out this car is an extremely close relative of today's R5. The whole of Renault's excellent screen and physical control system is here. The driver's screen is seven inches in the entry spec and 10.1 inches above that. Another full-size one sits alongside it as the touchscreen. The layout and definition is solidly competitive. In Techno spec it has a Google navigation with an effective EV route planner that calculates the shortest charging time for your trip by figuring out their power and availability. In Evolution spec you're using phone mirroring. Advertisement - Page continues below We love the number of physical controls. That includes metallic switches for climate control and stereo volume, and the shortcut switch for ADAS. The driver gets lots of steering-wheel buttons for cruise and display configuration, and because they're not haptic they actually work. The left-hand stalk is lights and indicators. On the right there are three stalks: one is the drive selector, which needs a long push/pull and often needs a second attempt. Annoying. Another the wipers and the third controls the stereo. Yes, it can take your right fingers a few attempts to tickle the correct one. Still quicker than screen-diving though. The material quality and fit 'n' finish are both very good. Entry cars get upholstery across the dash and while there are some cheap plastics (notably on the centre console) you'll forgive it for that quickly. Some surfaces are vulnerable to smudge marks, we must admit, and the various cubbies aren't that large. Best make it a can rather than a bottle of Lilt. Speaking of space, will my family fit in it? If it's small, sure. The R4 is nicely sized, thanks to an extra slice of wheelbase versus the R5. Provided the driver raises their seat a little, there's enough room for the extremities (toes, kneecaps, scalps) of an adult behind them. Advertisement - Page continues below There's not much elbow or shoulder room back here though, so longer journeys will be a bit taxing, and the rear bench is squishy but flat. At least there are a couple of USB-C ports to keep devices alive and pass the time. The boot is a deep 420 litres and the front passenger seat folds forward to take your DIY planks or cello. Knock the seats flat and space rises to 1,405 litres. The flat floor has a dual-split entry (check out the gallery up top), so you can still get at charging cables and whatnot while carrying something bulky. Very sensible. A section of the bumper lifts with the tailgate, so the floor is quite low. Good for loading dogs and white goods. Though not at the same time.

Buy Renault 4 Price, PPC or HP
Buying What should I be paying? The most basic spec is called Evolution and it looks good value at £26,995. Externally it's much like the top spec, including 18in wheels, auto wipers, 10.1in touchscreen, wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, two USB-Cs at the front, cruise control, keyless entry, rear parking sensors and (actually quite terrible) rear view camera. It also has a heat pump; good for winter efficiency. The 52kWh battery, 148bhp motor and 250-mile WLTP range are the same on all versions. We'd dearly like a bigger battery option to break that 300-mile barrier, but suspect the extra weight would undo all the good work on the suspension. Not to mention the packaging. Can't have it all. Advertisement - Page continues below The step up to the Techno trim is £2,000. It's the one we'd pick: you get the denim-style bronze-stitched upholstery, plus Google-based satnav and EV route-planner, a bigger driver's screen, Arkamys sound system, electric folding mirrors, wireless charger, fabric dashboard, ambient lighting, adaptive cruise, paddle shifters for the regen, and the driving modes. Two extra USB-Cs find their way into the back. Iconic tops the list at £30,995. It's mostly cosmetic tweaks: non-body coloured roof, black door mirrors and roof rails etc outside, plus the even fancier cloth/leather interior you can see above, inclusive of the illuminated 'Renault 4' on the dash. The tailgate becomes powered, the front seats and steering wheel heated, the cruise control gains lane centring and you get other safety gizmos like sign recognition and rear cross traffic alert. A vast fabric sunroof is coming as an option, but you can't have that and roof rails. What'll it cost me in electricity? At home? Peanuts. Depends on your tariff of course but get one of those handy overnight deals and you'll replenish the battery for as little as a fiver, maybe less. At a really dear public rapid charger the maths inevitably go south: ball park, it'll be £30 for a three-quarter top-up. Hope you're not doing those on the regular. Advertisement - Page continues below The Renault 4 doesn't boast crazy-high charge power – just 100kW – but as it's efficient and the battery is smallish, you recover a good slice of extra range in a short time without having to look for an ultra-rapid charger. In numbers, that's 15-80 per cent in half an hour, which will get you another two hours of motorway driving. It'll also accept three-phase AC charging at 11kW, for a complete charge in four and a half hours. Plus it can deliver power outward – vehicle-to-load. While some cars have hopelessly optimistic range-to-go meters next to the speedo, Renault's is pretty accurate, adjusting its prediction according to your recent driving style, and even whether you'll be gaining or losing altitude in the rest of your trip. The R4's charge system is designed for vehicle-to-grid too, so you can make money by charging when juice is cheap and sell it back to the grid at expensive times. But that takes complicated certification and isn't yet ready in the UK. Future-proofed though, right?
