Background
The Renault 6 or R6 is a C-segment small family car, manufactured and marketed by French automaker Renault from 1968 to 1986. The Renault 6 used the Renault 4's platform, initially including its small 845 cc (51.6 cu in) engine, but its five-door hatchback body was larger and more modern. Visually it resembled the larger D-segment Renault 16.
