Renault 4 E-Tech's grille is a first for the brand
Today Renault has talked about the Renault 4 E-Tech's grille in painstaking detail. The company is obviously very proud of the grille, using words like "brilliance".
The grille's outline lights up, and the Renault logo lights up too, for the first time. That's the gist of the 'innovation' here. Renault isn't the first car maker to have such features, but the 4 is the first Renault to have them.

The Renault 4 Savane 4x4 Concept is a tough little French explorer
Renault gives its new 4 a second electric motor for all-wheel drive. Also gives it more ground clearance and a wider track
Renault has unveiled a new concept that it says “demonstrates the potential” for a new 4 with all-wheel drive. We say, stop playing around and get it into production, Renault.
This is the Renault 4 Savane 4x4 Concept, and as you might have realised by now, the biggest change from the standard new 4 is that it gets an extra motor on its rear axle for permanent four-wheel drive. Renault doesn’t say how powerful said motor is, so we’re just going to imagine that it has deployed two of the 4’s larger 148bhp units for a 296bhp total. Yeehaw.
Elsewhere it has given the 4 a helpful 15mm more ground clearance and fitted it with Goodyear UltraGrip Performance+ tyres, while the track has been widened by 20mm on the front and rear axles. The wheels are still 18in items but they’re specific to this Savane. And yes, you do remember that name from an adventure-spec original Renault 4.
Renault reckons this concept is for “the modern-day gentleman explorer”, so it has genuinely been designed to head off the beaten track. We’re told that it’s “agile on muddy, snow-covered and unsurfaced routes” and that the bumpstops at the front and rear have been swapped out for new 3D-printed versions with shock-absorbing properties.
