The 1979 Renault R18 was a mid-size family car that aimed to compete with popular offerings from Ford, Opel, and Volkswagen. It was the successor to the Renault 12 and featured a modern design with sharp lines and a spacious interior. The R18 was offered in several body styles, including a four-door sedan, a five-door hatchback, and a three-door coupe named the Fuego. The Fuego, with its rakish styling and sporty performance, was particularly successful, becoming a popular choice for drivers seeking a stylish and engaging driving experience.

Under the hood, the R18 was equipped with a range of four-cylinder petrol engines, ranging in size from 1.4 liters to 2.0 liters. The larger engines offered decent performance, but the R18 was generally known for its fuel efficiency and practicality. The car was also praised for its comfortable ride and spacious interior, offering ample room for passengers and cargo. Despite its good qualities, the R18 faced stiff competition in a segment dominated by established players. Nevertheless, the car proved to be a solid offering for families looking for a reliable and affordable vehicle. The Renault R18 and its sporty coupe sibling, the Fuego, played a significant role in Renault's resurgence in the European market during the late 1970s and early 1980s.
