The Renault 4 1.0 MT is a compact runabout best understood through how its manual gearbox lets the driver separate engine speed from the effort the engine is actually producing.

Type of boost?
A turbocharger or supercharger compresses the air entering the engine so a smaller engine can produce more power. Naturally aspirated engines draw air without a compressor. Glossary entry
Not provided
Type of drive?
Which wheels receive power: front-wheel drive, rear-wheel drive or all-wheel drive. All-wheel drive can send power to every wheel for extra traction. Glossary entry
FWD
Bore and stroke?
The diameter of a cylinder (bore) and the distance the piston travels inside it (stroke). Together they determine the displacement of the engine. Glossary entry
65 × 72 mm
Engine capacity?
The total volume swept by all pistons inside the cylinders, usually stated in cubic centimetres or litres. Larger displacement often means more power but higher consumption. Glossary entry
956 cm³

Central
Number of gears?
How many fixed forward ratios a gearbox offers. More gears can improve economy and refinement; continuously variable transmissions have no fixed steps. Glossary entry
4
Maximum power?
A unit of engine or motor output. One metric horsepower is about 0.735 kilowatts. Peak power is normally reached at high engine speed. Glossary entry
34 hp
Maximum power, kw?
A unit of engine or motor output. One metric horsepower is about 0.735 kilowatts. Peak power is normally reached at high engine speed. Glossary entry
25 kW
Compression ratio?
The ratio between the largest and smallest volume of a cylinder as the piston moves. Higher ratios improve efficiency but may require higher-octane fuel. Glossary entry

Engine and Transmission
Engine speed is simply how fast the crankshaft turns, while load describes how widely the throttle is opened against that speed. With a manual gearbox the driver sets both independently: holding a lower gear raises revs, while pressing further increases load at the same revs.
Drivetrain and Everyday Driving
A front-wheel-drive layout says only which axle receives torque. What happens once grip runs out depends on suspension geometry, weight distribution, tyre condition and load, so the drivetrain label describes the path of power, not the car's limit behaviour.
Body and Practicality
Exterior dimensions describe the space the body occupies when parking. Visibility instead depends on glass area and the thickness and position of the pillars, so where a driver can see out is a separate question from how large the five-door shell is.
