What Made the Renault 25 Special?

The Renault 25 was known for its sleek, modern look and its comfortable inside. It was a "5-door liftback," which means it looked a bit like a sedan (a car with a separate trunk) but had a large back door that lifted up, like a hatchback, making it easy to load things. The engine was in the front, and it powered the front wheels, which is a common way cars are built.

Engines: The Car's Heart

The engine is what makes a car move. The Renault 25 had many different engine choices, giving drivers options for how much power they wanted. These engines used either gasoline or diesel fuel.

Gasoline Engines: These engines ranged in size from 2.0 liters to 2.9 liters. The bigger the number, the more powerful the engine usually is. Some of the more powerful versions included:

* 2.0 i 12V: This was a 2.0-liter engine with 12 valves, making it quite efficient and powerful for its size. * 2.5 V6 Turbo: This was a very powerful engine. "V6" means it had six cylinders arranged in a "V" shape, and "Turbo" means it had a special device called a turbocharger that pushed more air into the engine for extra power. * 2.9 V6: Another powerful V6 engine, offering a smooth and strong ride.

Diesel Engines: For those who wanted better fuel economy, there were diesel engine options:

* 2.1 Diesel: A standard diesel engine. * 2.1 Turbodiesel: This diesel engine also had a turbocharger, giving it more power than the regular diesel version.

Where Was It Built?

The Renault 25 was put together in France, at a factory in a place called Sandouville. This factory is still used by Renault today to build other cars.
