Renault at Roland-Garros: Where Innovation Meets Prestige
Renault is once again in the spotlight as a premium partner of the Roland-Garros French Open, from 19 May to 8 June 2025. This partnership is more than symbolic—Renault is making a bold visual and environmental statement. At their exclusive stand, visitors can experience the Renault 4 Savane 4×4 Concept, the exhilarating Renault 5 Turbo 3E, and the Roland-Garros special edition of the Renault 5 E-Tech electric. Together, these models showcase Renault’s blend of electrification, design innovation, and sportiness.
The Renault 4 Savane 4×4 – A Legend Reborn
The Renault 4 Savane 4×4 revives the iconic “Savane” name from the 1960s and ’80s, once synonymous with outdoor adventure. This latest concept elevates the rugged spirit with modern luxury, featuring an all-electric drivetrain, dual motors, and a permanent all-wheel drive system. Designed for urban explorers and countryside adventurers, it’s Renault’s vision for a stylish, go-anywhere vehicle that’s equally comfortable on Parisian boulevards and Alpine trails.
Power + Performance: All-Wheel Drive Electrified
Under its bold exterior, the Renault 4 Savane 4×4 Concept packs real engineering prowess. A second electric motor on the rear axle provides true four-wheel drive, granting improved traction on challenging surfaces like mud, snow, and gravel. Enhanced features include:
- 15 mm higher ground clearance
- 10 mm wider tracks on all sides
- Goodyear UltraGrip Performance+ tyres (225/55 R18)
- Specially designed “Savane” alloy wheels
Whether you’re navigating cobblestone Paris streets or venturing into off-road terrain, this concept is built for confident, sustainable exploration.
Sophisticated Style Meets Functional Design
The Renault 4 Savane 4×4 is more than a capable machine—it’s a visual statement. Finished in an exclusive Jade Green shade, the car’s appearance is enhanced by glossy black bumpers, wheel arches, and 3D-printed shock-absorbing elements. The roof features a pixel-printed camouflage fabric, adding a modern, tech-inspired aesthetic.
Signature elements like the “4Savane” side logo and 4×4 badge on the tailgate mark its unique identity, while aerodynamic yet bold contours give it that unmistakable Parisian flair.
Interior: Rugged Elegance from Dashboard to Doors
Inside the Renault 4 Savane 4×4, the design feels both premium and purposeful. The seats are upholstered in Deep Brown refined textile (TEP), highlighted with a quilted pattern of number 4s. A houndstooth fabric on the backrests and reinforcements adds classic charm.
The dashboard is also textile-wrapped, with subtle horizontal stitching that stretches across the width of the car, even onto the door panels. The illuminated 4Savane logo on the dash glows softly, elevating the cabin experience.
AmpR Small Platform: Big Innovation in a Compact Size
This show car also serves as a glimpse into the future. Built on the AmpR Small platform, it showcases Renault’s potential to design compact electric SUVs with all-wheel drive—a rarity in the B-segment EV market. With cities like Paris in mind, this compact form factor doesn’t compromise on capability or comfort.
Official Transport & Eco-Friendly Mobility at Roland-Garros
As the official transport provider for the French Open, Renault is also providing a fleet of 187 vehicles, mostly comprising Scenic E-Tech electric and Rafale E-Tech full hybrids. Two autonomous electric shuttles will again operate between Porte d’Auteuil and the tournament village, offering fans a clean and convenient ride—a perfect reflection of the brand’s sustainable mobility goals.
Supporting Sports & Society: La Lignée and Give Me 5
Beyond cars, Renault’s commitment to social progress continues at Roland-Garros. Their “La Lignée” programme, powered by ambassadors like Ugo Humbert, Casper Ruud, and Diede de Groot, highlights rising tennis talent and the values of excellence and perseverance. Meanwhile, the “Give Me 5” social initiative continues to promote community action through sport and mentorship for youth.
