The Renault Virage is one of those quietly clever European classics that still appeals to drivers who appreciate simple engineering, comfortable touring and distinctive character. Sold in Australia from the mid 1970s as an evolution of the Renault 12, the Virage brought a more modern look with updated front and rear styling while keeping the practical front wheel drive layout, roomy cabin and supple suspension that made Renault sedans feel so different from many locally built rivals. Its light steering, economical four cylinder engine and impressive ride quality helped it suit Australian suburban roads as well as long country runs.

What makes the Renault Virage especially interesting is its blend of French design and everyday usability. The Renault 12 family was produced across many countries and earned a reputation for durability in tough conditions, including rallying and taxi service in some markets. In Australia, the Virage gained a loyal following among motorists who wanted something more individual than the usual Holden, Ford or Chrysler offerings. Today, keeping one on the road is as much about careful maintenance as nostalgia, with owners often seeking quality service parts, ignition components, filters, fluids, lighting, belts, hoses and period friendly accessories.
