Renault 30

The Renault 30 is a model of Automobile designed and produced by the French manufacturer Renault.

Its body, drawn by Gaston Juchet, is Bicorps with a Hayon and is identical to that of the Renault 20, except optics fronts (4 round optics out of 30,2 quasi-rectangular optics out of the 20). It is characterized primarily by its motorizations and its equipment, superior.

Equipped with four independent wheels, helical springs, superimposed Shock absorber S telescopic, triangles, it is comfortable and holds the road well, but its very flexible suspension causes a strong elevating with acceleration and braking, less starting from the model 1980 and its nose gear with negative offset.

Unfortunately, this excellent road was not the success which it deserved (especially in V6), in particular because of the oil crisis of 1974. Many motorists thus preferred Renault 20, mechanically wiser, more economic and, especially, available in Diesel engine since 1979.

It should be noted that, in 1981, she sees appearing in her range a four-cylinder motor turbo - diesel, from which the block is resulting from that, atmospheric, of Renault 20.
