The Renault 18 was a compact car produced by the French automaker Renault from 1978 to 1986. It was a significant step forward for Renault, marking a departure from the traditional boxy designs of its earlier models. The 18 was designed with a more aerodynamic shape, featuring rounded curves and a sloping front end. It was available in a variety of body styles, including a three-door hatchback, a five-door hatchback, and a three-door coupe. The car was powered by a range of petrol and diesel engines, ranging in size from 1.3 liters to 1.7 liters. It was praised for its comfortable ride, its spacious interior, and its fuel efficiency – a crucial feature in the fuel crisis-stricken 1970s.

The Renault 18 was a commercially successful model for Renault, selling over 1.5 million units worldwide. It was particularly popular in Europe, where it competed with rivals such as the Ford Escort, the Vauxhall Astra, and the Volkswagen Golf. The 18 was also exported to other markets, including Australia, Canada, and South America. It was known for its reliability and its overall value for money. However, the 18 was criticized for its relatively spartan interior and its lack of advanced features, compared to its competitors. This led to the development of its replacement, the Renault 19, which was launched in 1988. Despite its shortcomings, the Renault 18 remains a significant model in the history of Renault, marking a period of innovation and growth for the French automaker.
