The Renault 6 or R6 is an economy C-segment small family car, manufactured and marketed by French automaker Renault from 1968 to 1986. The R6 entirely used the Renault 4's platform, initially including its small 845 cc (51.6 cu in) engine, and was technically near-identical, but its five-door hatchback body was larger and more modern. Visually it resembled the larger Renault 16, but distincly boxier.
The Renault 6 (R6) was launched at the 1968 Paris Motor Show,[4] and was intended as an upmarket alternative to the 20 cm (8 in) shorter R4; and the R6 aimed to compete with the Citroën Ami 6 and the just launched Citroën Dyane (both based on the Citroën 2CV, being a rebodied and a reskinned version of it, respectively). It used a dashboard-mounted gear-lever with forward, over-the-engine reaching gear-shift linkage, principally the same as those used in both the Renault 4, and in the subcompact Citroëns it competed against.
The R6 was produced in France from October 1968[5] and sold in Europe until 1980, continuing elsewhere until 1986.
