The Renault 25 was a mid-size executive car produced by the French automaker Renault from 1984 to 1992. It was a significant departure from previous Renault models, featuring sleek, modern styling, advanced technology, and a focus on comfort and luxury. The 25 was designed by the renowned Italian designer Marcello Gandini, known for his work on iconic cars like the Lamborghini Miura and Countach. Its distinctive design featured a sharp, wedge-shaped profile, flush-mounted door handles, and an integrated rear spoiler. This aerodynamically efficient design contributed to the car's fuel efficiency and performance, especially on the highway.

The Renault 25 was available with a range of four-cylinder and V6 petrol engines, as well as a turbocharged diesel option. It was offered in various trim levels, from the basic base model to the luxurious "Baccara" and "TXE" variants. The car featured several innovative technologies for its time, including a sophisticated electronic fuel injection system, a digital instrument cluster with a built-in trip computer, and a pioneering self-leveling suspension system that maintained a consistent ride height regardless of load. It also offered an advanced air conditioning system and a generous amount of interior space, providing a comfortable and luxurious driving experience. While the Renault 25 was initially praised for its styling, technology, and driving dynamics, it faced some challenges in the competitive executive car market. The car's relatively high price and less-than-stellar reliability compared to its German competitors hampered its sales success. Nevertheless, it remains a significant car in Renault's history, marking a pivotal moment in the brand's evolution towards producing more sophisticated and refined automobiles.
