The Renault R18 was a mid-sized family car produced by the French automaker Renault from 1978 to 1986. It succeeded the Renault 12 and was offered as a 3-door hatchback, 5-door hatchback, and a 4-door saloon. The R18 was initially conceived as a replacement for the larger Renault 17, but was ultimately decided to be a new model in its own right. It was a relatively conservative design, offering a spacious interior and a practical layout. The car was built on a lengthened version of Renault's 12 platform and shared many of its components. It was available with a range of four-cylinder petrol engines, ranging from 1.4 liters to 1.7 liters in displacement. A diesel engine option was also introduced later in the production run.

The R18 was generally well-received by the market, praised for its practicality and affordability. It was a strong seller in France and other European markets, though it was not as successful as its predecessor, the Renault 12. The R18 was also marketed in certain markets outside of Europe, including Australia and South Africa. Production of the R18 ended in 1986, and it was replaced by the Renault 21. Despite its lack of widespread recognition compared to other Renault models, the R18 stands as a testament to the company's commitment to offering affordable and reliable transportation options for families.
