The Renault 21 was one of the French brand’s most versatile mid-size cars, sold from the mid-1980s into the 1990s in sedan, hatchback and wagon forms. Known for its comfortable ride, roomy cabin and aerodynamic styling, it appealed to drivers who wanted a practical family car with a distinctly European feel. One of its more unusual engineering details was that Renault used different engine layouts depending on the powertrain, with some versions mounted longitudinally and others transversely, a quirk that makes selecting the correct replacement parts especially important.

Performance fans remember the Renault 21 Turbo, a genuine sleeper that packed a turbocharged 2.0 litre engine, strong mid-range torque and, in some markets, all-wheel drive. It earned credibility in touring car competition and became a cult favourite among enthusiasts who appreciated its understated looks and surprising pace. The 21 was also sold in wagon form as the Nevada or Savanna, popular with families and fleet users thanks to its huge cargo area.

Today, the Renault 21 is an interesting classic for owners who value comfort, individuality and French engineering.
