Renault 12 Break (1970)

            The Renault 12 was a medium sized Family car, launched by the French manufacturer at the end of the 1960s. The 'Break' or wagon model was launched in 1970, shown here.

The Renault 12 was not a particularly remarkable car, replacing the Renault R10 model, which had been rear-engined, rear-wheel-drive, with a FWD car, with the engine mounted longitudinally ahead of the front axle.

Renault had launched two FWD cars prior to the R12, the smaller R4 and the larger R16. Both these models also had longitudinal engines, but mounted rearward of the front axle and taking the drive forward.

The R12 proportions were therefore dictated by a long nose, and a relatively shorter wheelbase, nonetheless providing a roomy interior and large luggage area, increased by the addition of a wagon bodystyle. The preceding R10 had not been made available as a wagon model.

A bigger impact of the R12 was outside of native France, where the model was provided to Romanian manufacturer Dacia, as the basis for their new range of cars, and only very shortly after the R12s initial launch in France. As a Dacia the R12 was manufactured as recently as 2004, and in a wider variety of body types than in the original Renault catalog.
