    SAIC, the owner of MG, also owns the marque of Morris. SAIC should bring back a retro style Morris Minor, which can be based on MG4.

      They might, they have a production ready Morris JE van but that seems it’s coming from a very small family business not SAIC.

      Good idea but for God’s sake KEEP IT SMALL. The small size is a feature, not a bug.

    Love the looks of the Renault 4 (and 5). It’s great that some quirky European design makes it to market.
    Traditionally the 5 was more city-centric, with sporty variants such as the GTR and GT. I expected the Renault 4 to have at least 2 baguette carriers inside and a big steel luggage carrier on the roof. 🙂

    How big are those seats, you looked like you were sitting in a giant Santa chair. As for range well that depends on so many factors, driving style, weather, tyres, topography, etc. Will be interesting to see how it goes once it is launched.

    I applaud Renault, they seem to have let their designers and engineers lead rather than accountants. If we continue to choose a world of grey SUVs then that’s all manufacturers will end up making, it’s us, the customer, who determine the direction of travel.

    For the first time, in a long time, I’m genuinely interested in the design of cars again and actually looking forward to seeing them on the road. Could they improve, sure but the next time you go looking at cars, take a seat, look around at the sterile sameness of safe design language and just think what car really makes you feel something. Not what one makes sense. What one really makes you feel that emotional connection. One that evokes that cheeky moment when you’re sat alone with your thoughts, at a set of traffic lights, on a Friday afternoon, heading home for weekend and inadvertently smile to yourself and say…god I love this little car 😉

      To be honest, this 4 looks like the designers didn’t have their say to the engineers compared to the Twingo. It feels like they wrapped a shell around an SUV battery plate to design the 4. IT’s too halfway between authentic retro and modern lines. The Ev3, ex30 or Ionic make more sense in this category imo.

    This R4 isn’t KIA EV3 rival, this Renault is simple competitor to the Jeep Avenger/Fiat 600e etc. EV3 is much bigger and has much bigger range and example frunkt etc. This is small B class car, EV3 is mostly C class compact and spacious model

    The 4 was Renaults answer to the Citroën 2cv. Simple design, and cheap. This new 4 may be a nice car, but it misses completely on its market and heritage. I expected a smaller and cheaper car. Below the 5, and under 20k USD.

    The 5, like the mini, can get away with so-so range because realistically, they are going to be used for shopping runs, trips around town and so on, and rarely longer journeys. This size is more your main family vehicle though, and while 250 miles range was OK back when the GV60 launched, in today’s market, it just looks poor.

    Decent enough but either the price needs to be lower or the range improved.

    This also looks near identical to the concept, just without the faux offroad bits the concept had. Madly impressed at the low load floor in the boot! That is rare to see.

    Why can’t many of the EV makers do a Front boot, or at least have enough room for storage of all the cables they should come with, under the bonnet. At least they seem to have been allowed to give the Renault 4 it;s own look and the nods to the original do not spoil this.
    The other huge thing is that Kia, Hyundai and Tesla have really shown great efficiency and it is very difficult when you see these new cars being way under what they should or could be capable of.
