The original Renault 4 was introduced in 1961 as a response to the Citroen 2CV, targeting lower-income French consumers in rural areas. Over eight million 4s were built during its lifetime.

The 2CV’s popularity as an urban car inspired Renault to introduce the 4 (and its smaller-engined sibling 3) as a more comfortable and practical rival to the Citroen.

Just as the 2CV outlasted the subsequent Citroen city cars and lasted until 1990, the Renault 4 continued to be produced in France until 1992 and until 1994 in Slovenia and Morocco.
