It is often assumed that the Renault 4 (ref. Heller 80759),
launched in 1961, was Renault‘s first front-wheel drive car.
This is not the case. It was the Renault Estafette utility
vehicle of 1959. The French competitors at that time were
the Peugeot D3A/D4B and the Citroën Type H (ref. Heller
80768). The Estafette was based on the Citroën‘s frontwheel
drive system, which thus offered a large, flat load floor,
four independent wheel suspensions, a sliding side door and
a three-wing rear door.
When the new little Renault first appeared at the Paris Auto Show in late 1961, it was hailed as revolutionary! There, the manufacturer with the diamond logo not only unveiled a new concept, but also a new approach to the automobile. Everything in the Renault 4 was revolutionary for a car in its segment. This four-cylinder economy car with a sealed, maintenance-free cooling circuit boasted front-wheel drive (a first for Renault on a passenger car), a platform to which the body was bolted, four wheels with independent suspension. |
