PARIS -- Renault’s 4ever Trophy show car offers a preview of a small, full-electric SUV that will be launched in 2025.
The 4ever Trophy, revealed at the Paris auto show on Monday, draws its influence from the original Renault 4, a rugged front-wheel-drive hatchback that was built in the millions from the early 1960s to the early 1990s. The production model, likely to be called the Renault 4, will follow another retro-themed EV, the Renault 5 small full-electric hatchback.
The profile of the 4ever Trophy ("Trophy" refers to an annual endurance event for classic Renault 4s) is about "95 percent" of what the production version will look like, Renault executives said.
