Renault 4 Roland-Garros E-Tech electric show car: a future addition to the R4 range
Unveiled to coincide with the release of the film promoting the 2026 Roland-Garros French Open tennis tournament, the Renault 4 Roland-Garros E-Tech electric show car will make its global premiere on May 18 on the Renault stand at the Porte d’Auteuil stadium

Like the Renault 5 Roland-Garros E-Tech electric special edition, Renault 4 Roland-Garros E-Tech electric show car features sport-chic styling with bodywork in a shade of Glacier White that highlights the wide range of customised features: black side pillars and roof arches, silver trim on the front wings with the Roland-Garros symbol, 18-inch “Parisienne” black diamond-cut wheels with a smoked varnish finish and Terracotta Brown wheel hubs, and front and rear bumper trims also in Terracotta Brown.

Renault 4 Roland-Garros E-Tech electric show car is based on the Plein Sud version with an electric-powered opening roof in black canvas. Symbolising the open-air experience with an opening up to 92 cm long and 80 cm wide, the roof floods the entire cabin with light.

Specific design features at both front and rear
Inside, Renault 4 Roland-Garros E-Tech electric features custom light grey front and rear upholstery made from fully recycled material, with a graphic weave that brings to mind technical sportswear. The upholstery includes open-weave features, primarily in the H of the front backrests. The overall effect is enhanced by side supports and an armrest sheathed in blue refined textile. The backrests of the front seats feature a heat-embossed Roland-Garros logo.

The front and rear door panels and lower dashboard strip include inserts matching the seat fabric, alongside the blue refined textile and a small French flag. On the dashboard, the vertical cross strip features an anodised metal finish with a backlit area displaying the name “Roland Garros Paris”.

The tip of the special e-pop shifter is inspired by the grip of tennis rackets, with the Roland Garros logo at the end, in the same way as on the base of a racket. The centre console features a clay-coloured wireless charging pad. Clay-coloured floor mats with the R4 logo add the finishing touch to the interior. Last, the brushed aluminium door sills with the name “Roland-Garros Paris” also feature the Cross of Saint Andrew, reflecting the architecture of the stadium.

For those who would like to discover the Renault 4 Roland-Garros E-Tech electric show car even more closely, a full reveal will take place during the tournament through an augmented reality feature available exclusively in the hello reno, Renault’s avatar app for iOS and Android. Users will be able to display the vehicle on screen in any environment (home, garden, garage, etc.), view it in a different colour, and explore it from every angle, both inside and out.

The production version of Renault 4 Roland-Garros E-Tech electric will be available in autumn 2026.

“In this "sporty chic" interpretation, the Renault 4 Roland-Garros E-Tech electric show-car extends the very atmosphere of the tournament through its choice of materials and colour. The opening canvas roof evokes the open sky above the courts, a roofless space where players breathe as freely as spectators. Clay is subtly present in the terracotta accents, the tournament's foundational surface and signature of its identity. Even the gestures become a tribute: the e-pop shifter gear lever tip, inspired by the grip of tennis rackets, turns driving into a direct reference to tennis. The lightweight, structured white technical knit fabric echoes performance attire. The blue stitching and finishes reinforce the idea of a sport that is both demanding and elegant, where technical mastery elevates style.”

Spotlight on Renault Twingo E-Tech electric and Renault 5 Roland-Garros E-Tech electric
Following the opening of orders at the start of the year and the gradual roll-out to dealerships, Renault Twingo E-Tech electric is taking up residence at Roland-Garros this spring. It will be on display on the Renault stand in two Techno versions with Absolute Green bodywork, coinciding with its arrival in dealerships and the first deliveries to customers. Renault Twingo E-Tech electric aims to be a game changer, bringing electric vehicles into the mainstream in the European A-segment.

Renault 5 E-Tech electric will also be taking centre stage with the Roland-Garros special series. Available in four elegant body colours, this is a Comfort Range version, with a 52 kWh battery for a combined range of up to 252 miles WLTP.

Renault, official transport provider with an 88% electrified fleet
Reflecting its commitment to the mobility of tomorrow, Renault is supporting Roland-Garros in its ecological transition by reducing its carbon footprint every year. This ambition is supported by a fleet of 188 E-Tech electric and E-Tech full hybrid vehicles, designed for performance and environmental awareness.

The main vehicles in the 88% electrified fleet are Scenic E-Tech electric and Rafale hyper hybrid E-Tech 4x4 300hp. Renault Espace full hybrid E-Tech 200 hp completes the line-up, alongside Renault Twingo E-Tech electric, making its debut, and of course the Renault 5 E-Tech electric Roland-Garros special series.

Renault is also taking advantage of the 2026 tournament to continue trialling autonomous shuttles on the open road, in partnership with WeRide. Two autonomous electric minibuses will once again provide transport for spectators between Porte d’Auteuil and the village.

Lois Boisson, Arthur Fils, Flavio Cobolli, and Francesco Cerundolo star in “The Lines”, a new Renault commercial
Lois Boisson, French No. 1 and semi-finalist in the 2025 French Open, Arthur Fils, French No. 2, and Flavio Cobolli, Italian No. 2, are the new Renault ambassadors in “the lines,” a commercial featuring Renault 4 E-Tech Roland-Garros show car. The commercial will air in countries selling Renault 4 E-Tech electric, while a version featuring Argentine player Francisco Cerundolo, No. 20 in the world rankings, and Renault Boreal will air in countries where this model is available.

Finally, the commercial “the court” has been updated to include ambassadors Casper Ruud and Flavio Cobolli – No. 12 and No. 16 respectively in the world rankings – alongside Renault 5 Roland-Garros E-Tech electric.
