The Renault 15 is one of those stylish 1970s coupes that still turns heads for its clean French design, practical hatchback body and relaxed grand touring character. Launched in 1971 alongside the sportier Renault 17, the 15 shared much of its engineering with the Renault 12, giving it a dependable front wheel drive layout, comfortable ride and efficient four cylinder power. Its long doors, sloping rear glass and generous luggage access made it more versatile than many coupes of the era, while its distinctive rectangular headlamps and airy cabin gave it a modern, continental feel. For Australian enthusiasts, the Renault 15 offers an appealing blend of individuality, economy and classic European charm.

An interesting piece of trivia is that the Renault 15 and 17 were among the first Renault coupes to strongly embrace the hatchback format, anticipating a design trend that would become common in later sporting cars. The model also appeared during a bold period for Renault, when the brand was experimenting with rallying, advanced safety thinking and unconventional styling. Today, keeping a Renault 15 in good condition often means paying close attention to suspension components, braking parts, ignition items, filters, fluids, lighting and interior accessories.
