Renault R 16
(1965 - 1970)
Car articles about Renault R 16 by year
When Renault launched the R16 on the market in 1964, its variability and good use of space were praised above all, despite the conventional long engine. But its good driving characteristics were also a trump card. The magazine 'hobby' was one of the first to take a close look at the R16. This article reproduces the original wording of the 1965 test and shows the Renault 16 in historical photos.
The magazine 'hobby' compared two completely different saloons in 1968, the Renault 16 TS from France and the Ford 17 M RS from Germany. While the Renault was made sporty with classic and careful tuning, the Ford was a modular car, but also one that had it all. This article reproduces the original wording of the comparison test at the time and shows the two very different vehicles and their counterparts in many archive photos.
The Renault 16 was built for six years without any noticeable changes, but was developed further several times. In August 1970, the 71 model was launched with standardized 1600 cc engines in two power levels. This historical test examines the new 1600/65 hp version and then discusses the earlier changes as advice for second-hand buyers.
The Renault 16 entered the automotive scene in 1965 with no previous history, but with a convincing overall concept. The variable mid-size station wagon was built for fourteen years and its fan base was huge, even today. This driving report describes the history of the Renault 16 and shows it in current and historical pictures, supplemented by a sound sample.
