PS Canvas Roof cannot be operated over 90km/h to close or open.

Soak in the sun and embrace retro charm with our exclusive first drive of the all-new Renault 4 Plein Sud. Filmed live on the coastal roads of Barcelona, this unique variant pays homage to the iconic open-air 1960s Plein Air original. Trading a traditional metal roof for a massive, automated canvas top that retracts in just 11 seconds, the Plein Sud turns the retro-inspired electric crossover into an airy summer cruiser. Landing in Ireland with a targeted starting price of €34,000, discover if this high-tech, Google-powered EV has the versatility and structural polish to capture the compact market.

Top Features of the Renault 4 Plein Sud
Automated 11-Second Canvas Top: Ditches standard glass panoramic configurations for a huge 0.8m wide by 0.9m long rolling canvas mechanism [07:39]. Operating effortlessly via a cockpit toggle or smartphone app, it cycles open or closed in 11 seconds flat [02:00].

Disruptive Compact Target Pricing: Leans into accessibility by targeting an Irish market entry price point of €34,000 to €36,500 after grants [07:06], split across the high-spec Techno and Iconic trim lineages.

Seamless Google Built-In Infotainment: The forward cabin houses clean dual 10-inch landscape screens running a native Google Automotive operating system [05:00], unlocking effortless on-board access to Google Maps routing, native Google Assistant voice commands, and a full app store library [05:09].

Impressive Load Practicality: Boasts a highly commodious 440-liter boot capacity highlighted by an ultra-low loading lip that beats out the standard Renault 5 hatch variant, rounded off with shopping hooks and structural underfloor storage [03:35].

Solid Core EV Specifications: Equipped with the upgraded long-range powertrain to handle canvas aerodynamics, pulling from a front-wheel-drive motor to score a dependable 392 km WLTP range rating and supporting up to 130 kW DC fast charging [01:09].

Rigid Battery-Floor Construction: Despite chopping away the vehicle’s standard roof rails, the Plein Sud maintains excellent cornering agility and chassis rigidity by anchoring its weight directly onto its floor-mounted battery pack architecture [08:36].
