In Argentina, Renault has spun something wild out of the humble Kangoo Express van, a workaday hauler not exactly known for stealing the show. This one-of-a-kind, stretched, roofless limousine flips expectations with a design that’s equal parts practical and outright bold. Crafted for factory tours at Renault’s Santa Isabel plant, it’s ready to ferry guests in jaw-dropping style.
Sleek and futuristic, the Renault Twingo E-Tech electric vehicle prototype teases the design approach of the future production vehicle, set to go on sale in 2026. Similar to the first generation vehicle, the interior features a spacious, yet functional layout, revisiting some of the technology found in its predecessor.
The 2025 Renault 4 E-Tech made its public debut at the Paris Motor Show, and it will definitely give the Kia EV3 a run for its money. It will be offered in two variants, with the first one being a base model sporting a single electric motor generating 120 hp and a 40 kWh battery (186-mile range).
Sleek, stylish, and nearly silent, the Renault R17 by designer Ora Ïto is an all-electric restomod that pays tribute to the original 1970s vehicle. Weighing 3,806 pounds, it’s not powered by an electric motor generating 270 hp instead of a 1.6L four-cylinder engine.

Industrial designer Alexandre Ferra from Paris realized that Santa may be in for a nice sleigh upgrade and what better company to get one from than France-based Renault? It’s officially called Santa Sleigh R.S. (Renault Sport) and looks like a supercar on snow runners. Unfortunately, there doesn’t seem to be much space out back for all the presents, so either a second sleigh would be necessary, or there would have to be a companion trailer.
