The Renault 19 is a [small family car produced by
France automaker Renault between 1988 and 1999.
Overview
The 19 was the replacement for the
Renault 9/11, both of which were ageing and outdated by the late 1980s. The 19 was styled by Giorgetto Giugiaro, featuring Renault's new E-type (or "Energy") 1.4-litre engine and F-type 1.7 and 1.8-litre versions. Base models used the Overhead valve C-type "Cléon" 1.2 and 1.4-litre engines.
Intended to be Renault's last numeric-named car, the 19 ushered in a new naming policy, with the
sedan versions of the 19 being known as the "19 Chamade" to distinguish them from the
hatchbacks. However, the "Chamade" badge was dropped following the 1992 facelift. In 1991 a convertible bodystyle built by
Karmann was introduced. Although the R19's exterior design (which was relatively conservative, like that of the
Renault 9/11) received a muted response, it was praised for its interior comfort and handling.
In the summer of 1992, a revamped model was introduced with a substantially restyled front and rear, while left hand drive market versions received a new dashboard and interior - right hand drive models retained the original design.
The 19 was sold in
Europe until 1996, and was produced for
South American markets in
Argentina until 1999. The 19's platform and running gear would continue to be used in its replacement, the first generation
Renault Mégane.

19 16v and Renault Sport
The
Renault 19 16v hot hatch had a distinctive air inlet on the bonnet, a rear spoiler, 15 in "Speedline" alloy wheels, sideskirts, bucket seats and a trip computer. The braking system was uprated to include 259 mm vented discs on the front and discs on the rear as well as an uprated lower suspension setup. Phase 1 editions also benefitted from unique front and rear bumpers, while the Phase 2 retained the original bumpers found throughout the range but added colour-coded tops, rubber inserts and discreet lower splitter.
The very last models were called
Executive and came with leather interior as standard. A
16S version was also produced in Europe which was as above but without a bonnet vent. The gear ratios were also revised to allow for the extra weight found in the safety equipment the later models carried. 0-60 mph acceleration times were in the region of 8.2 seconds and boasted 137 bhp; an impressive feat for a 1.8 litre normally aspirated engine in a reasonably priced small family car of its day.
The 19 laid the foundations, along with the Renault 5 GT Turbo, for the
Renault Sport department of the company, which develops high-performance tuned versions of standard Renault cars.
