It is based upon the Renault Clio road car and used by the crews competing the European Rally Championship-3.

[2] The Renault Clio Rally4 weighs 1,080 kilograms (2,380 lb) and features a five-speed sequential gearbox and a turbocharged 1,330-cubic-centimetre (81 cu in) four-cylinder engine, which is more powerful than that in the Rally5 variant.

[1][3] It features adjustable shock absorbers, using slightly wider tyres at tarmac events than the Rally5 car.

[1][3] The Rally4 car is largely based upon the Rally5 version in most aspects,[2][4] which itself is derived from the standard road-going R.S.

[3] The car made its debut at the Targa Florio – Rally Internazionale di Sicilia, driven by Paolo Andreucci.
