Renault 4 E-Tech vs. Renault 5: Which Is Smarter? 🚗

Is the new Renault 4 E-Tech actually the smarter buy over the hugely popular Renault 5 E-Tech?

After nearly six months and just under 3,000 miles of real-world driving, this is my full long-term verdict.

In this House of Cars end-of-term report, I break down what life has really been like living with the Renault 4 E-Tech day-to-day — covering practicality, real-world range, charging experience, running costs, comfort, technology, build quality and whether it delivers on its retro promise.

The Renault 5 might be grabbing all the headlines, but is the Renault 4 actually the more usable, more versatile and better all-round electric car? With its crossover stance, bigger boot, increased practicality and family-friendly credentials, could this be the one you should actually be buying?

Over six months I’ve used it for commuting, longer motorway journeys, family duties and everything in between. No launch-event gloss. No press fleet honeymoon. Just proper ownership-style experience.
