citação:The Renault 7 was a four-door sedan version of the Renault 5 automobile, produced and sold in Spain by Renault's subsidiary, FASA-Renault. It was produced from 1974 to 1984.
It was very similar to the Renault 5, being identical mechanically but offered with a smaller range of engines. The R7 had a saloon-style boot in place of the original R5's hatchback. Another difference was the presence of metal bumpers instead of plastic ones, to give the car a more classic design. Initially powered by a 1037 cc engine, the car was mostly sold in Spain. About 140,000 units were produced, and its success outside its home market was limited because Renault had a more practical car, the larger Renault 12, for a small difference in price.
The car was introduced two years after the R5 was launched, and received a restyling in 1979, followed by an engine upgrade to 1108 cc in 1980. Its production ended in 1984, when the 5 door version of the R5 entered the worldwide market, using the door pattern of the Spanish R7, but also because the R5 had received a restyling and sales did not justify the investment necessary to renew the R7
