From carrying straw bales to golf bags, the hatchback sparked a revolution | Renault Group
8“I want to see loading volume” were the words used by Pierre Dreyfus, CEO of Renault from 1955 to 1975, when briefing his teams on the design of the Renault 4. This unusual vehicle was set to make car history for a feature that may seem insignificant nowadays but effectively sparked a small-scale revolution when it was first introduced – the hatch. Featuring this fifth door and a flat floor, the Renault 4 was a saloon car, an estate car and a utility car. At the time, the extra door at the back made it easier to load straw bales into the 4L, whereas nowadays people use it when putting objects such as overnight bags and suitcases into the Arkana. Hugues, Managing Director Renault Classic, takes a look back at the hatchback revolution sparked by Renault.
