From The Late Brake Show.

NEW Renault 4 Full Review – Better than the R5? The perfect Dog Car? In this first drive episode Jonny Smith goes to Portugal to test drive (and have a close look around) Renault’s second Revived Retro icon in EV form – the new R4 E-Tech. Based on the electric underpinnings of the award winning Renault 5, this new crossover hatchback promises to be the more family friendly version.
