The Renault 19, produced from 1988 to 1996 (1998 in some markets), was a compact hatchback that played a significant role in Renault's success during the late 1980s and early 1990s. Designed under the codename "Project 142," it was a revolutionary car for its time, featuring a monocoque chassis with extensive use of plastics and a sleek, aerodynamic design that helped it achieve a drag coefficient of just 0.32. The Renault 19 was available with a range of petrol and diesel engines, ranging from 1.2L to 1.9L in displacement. Some models even featured a turbocharged 1.8 L engine, offering a more spirited driving experience. The Renault 19 was also one of the first cars to offer a 1.9L direct injection diesel engine, further solidifying its reputation for fuel efficiency and low running costs.
The Renault 19 was a popular choice for its blend of practicality and affordability, offering spacious passenger accommodation, a large boot, and a comfortable ride. It also received praise for its handling and overall driving dynamics. The car's popularity led to the production of several variations, including a 3-door hatchback, a 5-door estate known as the "Renault 19 Chamade," and a sporty "Renault 19 16v" model. While production of the Renault 19 ceased in 1996, its legacy continued to influence subsequent Renault models, showcasing the brand's commitment to innovation and progress in the automotive industry. The Renault 19 remains a significant part of Renault's history, representing a period of significant growth and recognition for the French automaker.
