Renault 4 E-Tech Electric meets the Morgan Supersport
October 12, 2026
The Renault 4 E-Tech Electric Plein Sud combines 150 horsepower, up to 392 kilometres of range and an electric canvas roof for €36,300. The lightweight Morgan Supersport uses a 340-horsepower BMW straight-six and rear-wheel drive to reach 100 km/h in 3.9 seconds and a top speed of 267 km/h. One revives affordable French motoring; the other blends British coachbuilding tradition with modern sports-car performance.
Renault 4 E-Tech Electric meets the Morgan Supersport
The Renault 4 E-Tech Electric Plein Sud and Morgan Supersport combine retro styling with modern engineering. The Renault offers practical electric motoring, while the Morgan delivers lightweight rear-wheel-drive performance.
Similar lengths hide different purposes
The Renault measures 4.14 metres, making it almost identical in length to the 4.11-metre Morgan. One is a practical five-door crossover, while the other is a focused two-seat sports car.
The Renault delivers 150 horsepower
A 52 kWh battery powers the Renault’s 150-horsepower front-mounted motor. It accelerates from 0-100 km/h in 8.2 seconds and reaches a top speed of 150 km/h.
Electric range reaches 392 kilometres
The Renault offers up to 392 kilometres of driving range. Its large electric canvas roof adds open-air enjoyment while preserving the practicality of its retro-inspired crossover body.
The Morgan weighs only 1,170 kilograms
Lightweight construction is central to the Supersport’s character. Its low mass supports responsive handling and helps the Morgan achieve strong performance without requiring supercar levels of power.
BMW power drives the rear wheels
The Morgan uses a 3.0-litre turbocharged BMW straight-six producing 340 horsepower. An eight-speed automatic transmission sends that power to the rear wheels.
Zero to 100 km/h takes 3.9 seconds
The Supersport accelerates from 0-100 km/h in only 3.9 seconds and reaches a top speed of 267 km/h. These figures place it in an entirely different performance category from the Renault.
The Morgan offers around 530 kilometres
Its 41-litre fuel tank and official consumption suggest a theoretical range of approximately 530 kilometres. Actual distance will depend on driving style, speed and road conditions.
Mass-market nostalgia meets coachbuilding tradition
The Renault revives one of Europe’s most recognisable people’s cars. Morgan combines more than a century of British coachbuilding heritage with modern construction and BMW engineering.
Relaxed sunshine or winding-road excitement
The Renault starts at €36,300 and prioritises practicality, electric range and open-air charm. At approximately €130,000, the Morgan offers greater performance, exclusivity and handcrafted character.
