Updated from the NZTA Motor Vehicle Register, counted as at 31 August 2026. Recounted every month.
A slightly larger, better-trimmed car built on the underpinnings of the Renault 4, launched in 1968. It kept the 4's soft long-travel suspension, dashboard gear lever and front-wheel drive, but added a roomier five-door body that looked like a small Renault 16. Simple and practical, it stayed in production into the 1980s.
