The Renault 5 is a five-passenger, three or five-door, front-engine, front-wheel drive hatchback supermini manufactured and marketed by the French automaker Renault over two generations: 1972–1985 (also called R5) and 1984–1996 (also called Super 5 or Supercinq).
The R5 was marketed in the United States and Canada as Le Car, from 1976 until 1983.[1] Renault marketed a four-door sedan variant, the Renault 7, manufactured from 1974 until 1984 in Spain by Renault's subsidiary FASA-Renault[2] and exported to select markets.
The Renault 5 became the best-selling car in France from 1972 until 1986,[3] with a total production exceeding 5.5 million over 14 years, making it France's most popular car.[4]
