Renault’s AWD electric cruiser concept car screams open-air fun.
Every once in a while, a vehicle comes along that no matter where it’s from, no matter what it is, and no matter whether we’ll ever be able to see it here or not, it piques our interest, with the latest example being the Renault 4 JP4x4 Concept, a “beach adventurer” electric vehicle designed for people who love surf, sand, and the simplicity of an open top experience. But this isn’t just a Renault 4 E-Tech with half-doors and less glass. As the name suggests, it adds a second powered axle, turning it into an AWD beach buggy ready to take you wherever the best waves are breaking.
Although it’s based on the production version of the recently launched, front-motor Renault 4 E-Tech EV, the JP4x4 concept has been chopped into a two-door arrangement as opposed to the E-Tech’s four-door SUV form. It’s a far cuter and more compact package, with major revisions to the SUV’s overall shape.
