The original Renault 4 and Renault 5 delivered charm, practicality and affordability. As a result, both models proved popular with drivers throughout the oil crises of the 1970s. Now the reborn Renault 4 E-Tech and Renault 5 E-Tech, reinvented for the electrified age, look set to repeat that success after achieving a five-star Green NCAP sustainability rating.

The strong Green NCAP results build on recent Euro NCAP safety ratings and highlight the cars’ environmental impact, energy efficiency, and hence running costs – factors that remain relevant for motorists across Europe and the UK amid rising fuel prices.
