The Renault 25: symbol of French revival
Launched in March 1984 , the Renault 25 marked a decisive turning point for the diamond brand. Designed to succeed the Renault 20/30, this high-end sedan embodied the French ambition to compete with the prestigious German brands. Its revolutionary design, created by the team led by Patrick Le Quément , broke with traditional aesthetic codes thanks to its flowing lines and characteristic "wedge" shape.
The Renault 25 stands out for its remarkable technical innovations : variable power steering, self-leveling rear suspension on certain versions, and above all its famous fully digital dashboard on the high-end finishes. This sedan offers a wide range of engines, from the 2.0 petrol to the powerful V6 Turbo developing 182 horsepower, positioning the 25 as a credible alternative to German sedans .
With over 780,000 units produced by 1992, the Renault 25 enjoyed notable commercial success, particularly among French and European customers. It significantly contributed to restoring Renault's brand image in the premium segment.
Renault: the legacy of a French giant
At the time of the launch of the Renault 25, the brand was undergoing a period of profound transformation . After the difficulties of the 1970s and the takeover by the French state, Renault focused on innovation and quality to regain its place in the European market. The 25 was part of this strategy of moving upmarket, alongside models such as the Renault 9 and the future Renault 21.
Founded in 1899 by Louis Renault , the diamond brand already had a rich history of almost a century when it created the 25. From the first racing cars to the legendary 4CV and Dauphine, including the iconic R5, Renault has established itself as a major player in the French automotive industry . This centuries-old expertise is reflected in every detail of the Renault 25, which benefits from all the technical and aesthetic know-how accumulated by the brand.
The Renault 25 era also corresponds to Renault's golden age in Formula 1 , with resounding victories that reflect positively on the brand's image and contribute to the commercial success of its road models.
The Renault 25 anecdote: when innovation meets controversy
The Renault 25 is inseparable from a delightful anecdote that perfectly illustrates the French spirit of the 1980s. During its official presentation, the model sparked an unexpected controversy surrounding its fully digital dashboard. Automotive journalists were divided: some saw it as a technological revolution, others as excessive "gadgetization" of the automobile.
The story goes that during a press test, a particularly conservative British journalist declared that this car was "too French to be understood by the Anglo-Saxons." This phrase, which was intended as a criticism, quickly became a marketing argument for Renault, which used it to boast the originality and audacity of its new sedan.
Even more amusing, the Renault 25 quickly became the official car of many French ministers , to the point that it was nicknamed "the car of the powerful" in certain Parisian circles. This prestigious image paradoxically contributed to its success with the general public, who saw it as a sign of social success.
Finally, the Renault 25 would go on to make history in French cinema by appearing in several cult films of the 1980s, notably in certain action scenes where its remarkable handling was highlighted. These cinematic appearances helped to forge the legend of this atypical sedan that was unlike any other.

Frequently Asked Questions
How to understand the scales of miniatures?
Scale indicates the reduction ratio between the real car and the miniature. For example, at 1:43 scale, each centimeter on the miniature corresponds to 43 centimeters on the real vehicle.

What scales are available?
Our model cars are mainly offered in 1/43, 1/24, 1/18 and 1/87 (HO) scales. The scale is always indicated in the product sheet.
