The Renault 18 was a compact car produced by the French automaker Renault from 1978 to 1986. It was the successor to the Renault 12 and represented a significant step forward in terms of design, technology, and features. The Renault 18 adopted a more modern and aerodynamic body style, with distinctive sharp lines and a large glass area. Its interior was also more spacious and comfortable than its predecessor, with a dashboard featuring a distinctive, wrap-around design. Mechanically, the Renault 18 featured a range of four-cylinder petrol engines, including a 1.4-litre unit, a larger 1.6-litre engine, and a 1.7-litre powerplant. The car was also available with a range of transmission options, including a four-speed manual, a five-speed manual, and an optional automatic transmission.

The Renault 18 was praised for its fuel efficiency, comfortable and spacious interior, and good handling characteristics. It was also available in a variety of trim levels and body styles, including a hatchback, a sedan, a station wagon, and a commercial van. The car was particularly popular in Europe, where it proved to be a strong competitor in the compact car segment. Despite its success, the Renault 18 eventually faced stiff competition from newer models from other manufacturers. Its production was discontinued in 1986, with the Renault 19 taking its place. However, the Renault 18 remains a significant model in Renault's history, a testament to the brand's design ingenuity and commitment to offering affordable and practical vehicles for the mass market.
