Renault has unveiled the Renault 4 Savane 4x4 concept, an electric vehicle with two motors and four-wheel drive that combines retro design with modern technologies.
Renault has unveiled the Renault 4 Savane 4×4 concept at Roland-Garros, reviving the spirit of a legendary model from the past. With two electric motors and permanent four-wheel drive, this concept is designed for modern explorers seeking adventure inside and outside city limits.
The Savane 4×4 is based on the AmpR Small platform, the same as the Renault 5 E-Tech and Nissan Micra EV. An additional electric motor on the rear axle enables permanent four-wheel drive, providing better traction on a variety of terrains. The 15 mm increased ground clearance and 10 mm widened track on each side improve the vehicle’s off-road capabilities.Wikipedia)
The exterior features a new Jade Green paint finish, complemented by gloss black bumpers and fenders. The roof is covered in a pixelated fabric pattern that resembles a camouflage design. The interior features brown textile seats with an embroidered pattern and an illuminated 4Savannah logo on the dashboard.
Although Renault has not revealed exact technical specifications, the concept is expected to have more power than the standard Renault 4 E-Tech model, which offers 110 kW (150 hp) and 245 Nm of torque. It is possible that the concept will be equipped with a larger battery capacity of 52 kWh, which would allow a range of up to 400 km according to the WLTP standard.
Conclusion: Will the Savane 4×4 become a reality?
The Renault 4 Savane 4×4 Concept combines nostalgic design with modern technologies, making it an interesting option for fans of retro vehicles and electric SUVs. Although it is currently only a concept, the positive public and media response suggests that Renault could consider series production. If this happens, the Savane 4×4 could become a popular choice for those looking for a combination of style, performance and durability.
It could be priced slightly higher than the standard Renault 4 E-Tech model, which starts at around €29,400. However, additional features such as four-wheel drive and improved off-road capabilities could justify the higher price for those looking for more from their vehicle.
At a time when the automotive industry is looking for ways to combine sustainability and style, the Renault 4 Savane 4×4 Concept represents a step in the right direction. Now the only question remains: will Renault follow the enthusiasm and bring this retro-modernist vehicle to the road?
