New Renault 4 to start from £26,995, but don't race to your dealership yet
Order books for the all-new, reimagined Renault 4 are set to open in July, and prices will start from £26,995 – a few thousand pounds less than key rivals such as the Jeep Avenger, MINI Aceman and Ford Puma Gen-E.
If you want to get your hands on the retro-chic electric SUV as soon as possible, Renault is offering an 'R4 R Pass' for £150 that allows customers to place their order from 1 July, before anyone else. If you're prepared to wait, the Renault 4 will go on sale to the general public on 15 July.
Every Renault 4 will be powered by a 52kWh battery that offers up to 247 miles of range, according to the French firm, while a 148bhp electric motor will drive the front wheels and is good for 0-62mph in 8.2 seconds. Replenishing the battery from 15 to 80 per cent should take just 30 minutes, thanks to a 100kW maximum charging speed. Advertisement - Article continues below
We expect a dual-motor, four-wheel-drive set-up will be added at some point, after Renault unveiled the adventure-ready R4 Savane 4x4 concept. Plus Fiat bosses confirmed to Auto Express a new Panda 4x4 is on the way – though it will be a hybrid, not electric – so a 4WD Renault 4 would be an interesting rival for that.
At launch, the Renault 4 will be available in three trim levels: Evolution, Techno and Iconic. Every model is getting 18-inch alloy wheels, a 10.1-inch touchscreen, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, rear-view camera, keyless entry, an energy-saving heat pump and several safety systems, including traffic-sign recognition and driver-attention alert.
Entry-level Evolution models will also feature a seven-inch display, but Techno trim (available from £28,995) adds a larger 10-inch driver's display, plus built-in Google apps and services, a wireless charging pad, adaptive cruise control with stop and go function, 100 per cent recycled denim fabric trim and seat upholstery, and a one-pedal driving mode – which you don't get at all on the Renault 5 yet.
Finally, the Renault 4 in Iconic spec will start from £30,995, and feature grey houndstooth upholstery (still using 100 per cent recycled fabrics), a heated steering wheel, heated front seats, hands-free tailgate, active driver assist system and an illuminated charging indicator on the bonnet, in the shape of a '4'.
Six unique paint colours will be available at launch, including Hauts-de-France Green that's supposed to pay tribute to the Île-de-France Blue hue offered on the original Renault 4 in the sixties. If that's not for you, the other options are Glacier White, Urban Grey, Diamond Black, Carmin Red and Cumulus Blue. Buyers will also be able to add a contrasting black roof, with or without a black bonnet too.
Another throwback to the R4 of old is an electric opening canvas roof that will be an optional extra for Techno and Iconic trim models, and Renault says you'll be able to open it at the touch of a button or using voice commands. However it won't be available immediately.

Is 'bad attitude' useful? Fans on Cunha signing
We asked for your views on Matheus Cunha signing for Manchester are some of your comments:Nick: I'm happy with this. We're creating, but not scoring, so getting someone in who has experience scoring in the Premier League can only be a good I think it is a fantastic signing in this struggling Manchester United era. I see hope because he can play in so many positions in Ruben Amorim's 3-4-3/3-4-2-1 and United need goals, that's all they Cunha has the skills but does he have the temperament for the most 'under the microscope' and 'under pressure' club currently in the world? I hope so but so much needs to change around him to get the best from him. Let's hope Amorim's plan gets the support from the boardroom. I'm still holding my At last; the right player, at the right price and at the right age. What could go wrong?Karl: Definitely a step in the right direction. His stats say he has everything we've been missing - awareness, speed, balance, a finishing edge and above all, confidence. Can't wait to see how he works alongside the likes of Amad, Fernandes and Yes, he's renowned for his 'bad attitude' but that's just because he wants to win, which is an attitude sadly lacking in quite a few of our current squad. I seem to recall a certain Mr Cantona was slated for his attitude when we signed him!

Monzo Reports 8x Surge in Profits to £113.9 Million on the Back of Record Growth
Monzo, the UK's leading digital bank with more than 12 million customers, has today shared its financial results for the year ending March 31 2025. Monzo has again delivered record growth and sustainable profitability as it continues to see momentum accelerate. Recently crowned Best British Bank, the company attracted 2.4 million new customers in its last financial year and saw engagement and weekly active rates continue to increase further – with 67% of customer growth coming from word-of-mouth referrals. Revenues increased significantly across all areas – including lending, transactions and subscriptions – propelling Monzo's adjusted profit before tax to £113.9m, up from £13.9m. Customer deposits grew 48% to £16.6bn, with the number of weekly active users increasing 28% as Monzo added a record number of new products and features to help customers manage more of their financial lives. Average Revenues per User grew 16% for business customers and 15% for personal customers, underscoring the deeper relationships Monzo is building with its customer base. The financial year saw Monzo scale and invest with discipline as it made further strides on its ambition to become the one app customers turn to to manage their entire financial lives. The company welcomed a new generation of customers through its hugely successful Under 16s product, which saw a 180,000-strong waitlist in its first week alone, and launched Monzo Pension. Its new subscription plans – Monzo Perks, Extra and Max – were a huge success with almost 900,000 personal customers now paying for extra benefits. Monzo Business accelerated at pace on the back of the launch of Monzo Team, a product that serves more complex needs for larger small businesses. Together, these new products contributed to an increase in subscriptions income of 50% to £75.2m. The total number of business customers grew by 49% to reach 625,000, with Monzo Business making up 12% of total revenue. The company brought more game-changing savings features to the palms of customers' hands – with the 1p Saving Challenge, launched in January, attracting more than 1 million customers who have collectively saved around £30m so far. With 2.3 million people using Monzo's Instant Access Savings product, the company paid more than £250 million in interest to customers in the last financial year. Leveraging its in-house tech stack, Monzo continues to develop industry-first security tools for its customers. FY2025 saw the business launch a trio of unique security features including Known Locations and Trusted Contacts, to help prevent customers from falling victim to fraud. In addition, and led by its expert financial crime teams, Monzo's real-time fraud detection and prevention system is using AI to trigger a range of interventions. In FY2025 Monzo prevented 2.9 times the value of unauthorised fraud compared to the previous year. Engineers also pioneered Monzo Stand-In, a separate back-up banking infrastructure that ensures customers can continue to use important services in the rare event of an outage. In an industry where platform outages continue to cause mass disruption and worry for customers, Monzo invested in a solution for its customers, giving them the service they deserve from their bank. Monzo maintains a market-leading average Net Promoter Score of +70 – in an industry where the average is around 30 in the UK. The most recent YouGov Brand Index showed that Monzo is out-pacing the rest of the banking industry on metrics including consideration, recommendation, and satisfaction. Two months into the new financial year, Monzo continues to bring new products to customers with the launch of Contents Insurance and Undo Payments – another industry-first tool to help customers have more control over their money. Growth has continued to accelerate, with the company attracting more than 300,000 new customers in April alone – making it its biggest acquisition month yet. In May, Monzo was named Best British Bank, Best Banking App and Best Children's Financial Provider at the British Bank Awards – which is voted for by customers. Looking ahead, Monzo is accelerating its international ambitions. The business is continuing to build out its product offering in the US, and has established its European base with an office and a growing leadership team in Ireland. In the UK, product expansion continues at pace, with additional features across personal and business accounts soon to be announced. TS Anil, Group CEO of Monzo, said,:'Another year of raising the bar and driving scale, growth and profitability! 2.4 million customers chose Monzo, we launched more products than ever, increased customer engagement – and saw record growth for Monzo Business. By bringing the best of technology and banking together and remaining customer-obsessed, we're seeing accelerating growth and momentum and unprecedented customer love – with Monzo recently named Best British Bank. And the best part? We're still just getting started. '

Matheus Cunha becomes Man Utd's joint fourth highest earner as his wages are revealed – and he could soon rise to second
MATHEUS CUNHA has become one of the highest-earning players at Manchester United. The 26-year-old joined the club in a £62.5million transfer from Wolves at the weekend. 4 4 4 Cunha penned a five-year deal with the option to extend another 12 months upon his arrival at Old Trafford. And now his wages have been revealed. The Telegraph reports that Cunha will earn £200,000-a-week during his time with Man Utd. It is a huge increase on the £120,000-a-month wages he took home while at Wolves. The Brazilian winger is now one of the higest-earning players at United. Following his move to Old Trafford he will now earn the same as Antony, who spent the second half of this season on loan at Real Betis. Casemiro, 33, remains Man Utd's higest earner with a weekly wage of £375,000. 4 Club captain Fernandes, 30, and Rashford, 27, take home £325,000-a-week. Meanwhile, Mount, 26, earns £250,000-a-week in Manchester. Bruno Fernandes enjoys dinner with Al-Hilal 'secret agent' Joao Cancelo as he faces Man Utd exit decision Cunha could potentially make his way up the list depending on how the transfer window pans out for Man Utd this summer. Casemiro, Fernandes, Rashford and Antony have all been linked with a move away. Fernandes could be the biggest loss for the Red Devils should he leave. The Portuguese midfielder allegedly received an offer worth £700,000-a-week from Saudi Pro League side Al-Hilal last week. United were also offered a £100m fee to sign him. However, head coach Ruben Amorim insists he wants the midfielder to stay at Old Trafford. Rashford, meanwhile, is expected to leave having fallen out with Amorim prior to his Aston Villa loan spell.
