wooden Renault 5

In 1972, Renault launched Renault 5 to appeal to an non-conformist customer segment. It was in tune with the changing times, as families acquired a second car and young people and women started to own more cars. Renault 5 undeniably marked its time: a total 5.5 million units were produced up until 1985 and the car was sold on five continents. The 1973 oil crisis proved to be an opportunity for Renault 5, which enjoyed a successful career thanks to its particularly economic engines.
