Renault 4 Range Test - Coast to Coast

Описание: Welcome back to the channel! Today we are taking the Renault 4 all the way from the east coast to the west coast for a real-world "Coast to Coast" range test. We're driving the top-trim "Iconic" model, which features a 52 kWh battery and a striking "Hauts-de-France Green" paint job. With a WLTP rating of over 400 km, we’re going to see if this nostalgic but modern hatchback can actually make the 320 km cross-country journey in mixed weather without stopping to charge. From its illuminated badge to its refined multi-link suspension, we’ll dive into what makes this car practical and where it might fall short.

​Features
​Nostalgic Modern Design: Pays homage to the original Renault 4 with distinct styling cues, including a world-first illuminated front Renault badge and a full-width LED lighting signature [02:48], [03:05].
​Superior Loading Practicality: Boasts one of the lowest loading lips in the industry, paired with a vertical tailgate, making it significantly more practical for cargo than its sibling, the Renault 5 [03:22], [08:16].
​Refined Chassis Hardware: Unlike many smaller EVs that use basic torsion beams, the Renault 4 utilizes a multi-link rear suspension for a more comfortable and composed ride [04:12].
​Advanced Efficiency Tech: Features a standard heat pump to help preserve range in colder temperatures, alongside 100 kW DC fast charging that can handle cross-country trips with a short stop [01:04], [06:15].
​Tech-Forward Cabin: Includes the "OpenR Link" system with Google built-in, providing seamless navigation via Google Maps and an integrated app ecosystem like Spotify and Amazon Music [07:04].
​Real-World Range Performance: Achieved an energy consumption of 16.7 kWh per 100 km at an average speed of 73 km/h, resulting in a real-world range of approximately 300-305 km [11:11], [11:33].
