Retro-Chic Meets Open-Air Freedom: The New Renault 4 Plein Sud Has Arrived​​

Renault is turning up the sunshine with the UK debut of the Renault 4 Plein Sud, a retro-inspired electric crossover that brings a classic 1960s vibe to the modern road. Translating to "Due South," the Plein Sud variant swaps the traditional roof for a massive, folding cloth top, allowing you to flood the cabin with light and fresh air at the touch of a button. With an opening that measures 80x92cm, Renault has created an open-air experience that is wider and more immersive than anything else in its class.​​

The Ultimate Open-Air Experience

Innovation Without Compromise

The ‘Plein Sud’ is designed for effortless use, allowing you to retract the roof via a one-touch button or simple voice commands through the Reno digital assistant. While the roof adds a new layer of freedom, Renault has ensured that the car’s famous practicality remains untouched.

• Storage Master: You still get a massive boot capacity of up to 1,350 litres with the seats folded.
• Quiet & Comfortable: The multi-layer canvas construction provides excellent acoustic insulation and weather sealing when closed.
• Smart Tech: The interior features the OpenR Link system with Google built-in, offering seamless navigation and charging optimization.

Premium Features, Accessible Price

At an accessible price and eligible for the £3,750 Electric Car Grant, the Plein Sud is available in two high-specification trims:

• Techno+: Features 18-inch diamond-cut alloys, a Google-powered 10-inch touchscreen, dual-zone climate control, and hands-free park assist.
• Iconic+: This trim adds heated front seats, a heated steering wheel, a powered boot lid, and vibrant yellow interior accents.
