Renault 19
The Renault 19 is one of those quietly influential European small cars that helped define practical motoring through the late 1980s and 1990s. Launched in 1988 as a replacement for the Renault 9 and 11, it brought sharper styling, improved aerodynamics, and a more refined cabin to Renault’s compact range. Available as a hatch, sedan, and later the stylish 19 Cabriolet, it appealed to drivers wanting comfort, efficiency, and typically French ride quality. The 16V performance model is especially memorable, using a lively 1.8 litre twin cam engine that gave the lightweight hatch real character and made it a favourite among enthusiasts.
Interesting trivia surrounds the Renault 19’s global reach. It was built in several countries and became one of Renault’s most successful international models, with strong sales across Europe, South America, and beyond. In some markets, the sedan version was known as the Chamade, adding a slightly more upmarket personality to the range. The 19 also represented Renault’s push toward better build quality before the arrival of the Megane, making it an important stepping stone in the brand’s modern history.
