Louis Renault founded the company with his brothers Marcel and Fernand in 1899 at Boulogne-Billancourt. He invented direct drive the same year. The state nationalised the firm in 1945 and it became the Régie Nationale. It was privatised in 1996 and allied with Nissan in 1999.

Renault

1965–1971 · Inline-4

Renault once sold it beside its own successor. The older car was about 10% cheaper but slower: 135 km/h against 145 km/h for the front-drive newcomer. It had arrived in 1965 as a longer and plusher take on a smaller rear-engined Renault. French production ended in summer 1971.

Renault

1969–2000 · Inline-4

Europe praised the Renault 12 for its space and low fuel use; Road & Track called its heavy steering 'a serious design flaw'. Launched at the 1969 Paris show, it stopped being built in France in 1980, but Turkey made the last R12 in 2000 and Dacia's R12-based pickup lasted until December 2006.

1976–1983 · Inline-4

Its 'Suitcase' engine, developed with Peugeot, was never used in any other Renault. The 14 was the brand's first model with a Mini-style transverse engine, and the first car built in large numbers at Renault's new Douai plant.
