During the test week, we also came across the original model on an industrial estate in Purmerend. We took our chance and put both cars side by side.  <\/p>\n<p>The modern example is the brand new Renault 4 Iconic Comfort Range we tested. The classic example is a 1992 Renault 4 TL, which has been in the Netherlands since 2021. With that year of construction, it is one from the last regular production year of the original 4. For some markets, production continued until 1994.   <\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Old and new<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Now that both cars are side by side, it is easy to see how many design elements of the original Renault 4 have found their way into the modern version. Of course, the dimensions and proportions have changed, but as far as we are concerned, Renault has given a very successful modern interpretation of the original design. <\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>More on the original Renault 4<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>The Renault 4 is a well-known classic, about which much has been said and written. Also by us. Did you know that the original R4 has a slightly different wheelbase on the left and right? In <a href=\"https:\/\/autorai.nl\/wist-je-dat-renault-4\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">this article<\/a> we explain why that is so. You also saw a <g id=\"gid_1\">special Frog version<\/g> of the R4 in this section before.
