The legendary ‘4L’ is officially back! In this video, we are taking an in-depth look at the brand-new Renault 4 E-Tech electric Plein Sud. This special edition brings back the ultimate summer holiday vibe, thanks to its massive, electrically operated Webasto canvas opening roof (measuring a huge 92 cm long by 80 cm wide).

While its retro styling and clever design details pay a massive tribute to the iconic 1968 R4 Plein Air, underneath it sits on a modern, fully electric AmpR Small platform. But what is it actually like to drive a silent EV with the wind in your hair? Do you sacrifice highway refinement, cabin quietness, or headroom with that folding fabric roof?

The Plein Sud comes standard with top-tier specs: the larger 52 kWh Comfort Range battery pack, delivering a WLTP range of up to 392 km (around 243 miles), and a punchy 150 hp electric motor. In this comprehensive review, we’ll test the roof’s wind noise, dive into the Google-powered OpenR Link infotainment system, check out the surprisingly practical 420-liter boot, and find out if it’s worth the premium over the standard model.

Let me know in the comments below what you think of this modern, open-top reincarnation of the Renault 4!
