11+ hour, 31+ min ago (1255+ words) Renault had a blinding 2025. Its usual fare has been going down well, but its new electric lineup hit the road and has been making a lot of people happy. First, the retro-tastic Renault 5 in all the lurid hues you can imagine. Then Alpine's A290 with "Renault 5-but-faster" energy added some spice to the mix. And now, we get a new Renault 4. All are retro-inspired in the best way, but with some of the finest modern EV tech you can find in Europe right now. It's fair-ish to say that Renault's line-up wasn't setting the world alight before it figured out that looking back was the best way to look forward, but now it looks like there's little stopping it. The 5 makes people grin when they see it, and get very smiley when they drive it." So can the 4 do the same? The…...

While the prototype has largely flown under the radar, it's been undergoing "intensive trials" for the past year or so. Thanks to all this work, the Gen.Urban can now drive autonomously in Wolfsburg's traffic. Volkswagen hasn't said much about the vehicle, but it lacks a traditional steering wheel and pedals. Even so, a safety driver still rides up front in the passenger seat, ready to interveneusing a "specially developed control panel with a joystick."
