The 25 was a luxury car through and through, but also boasted that special Renault touch. With a spacious cabin and dashboard open to all passengers, it was an attractive alternative to conventional luxury models, favoring neither driver nor passenger but all occupants at once!

The 25 also stood apart with its advanced electronics – fuel gauge, onboard computer and permanent outside temperature display – which made driving safer and more pleasant. It also featured an electronically controlled engine: the all-new fuel-injected V6 with a capacity of 2,849 cm3, fitted from 1987. This avant-garde equipment contributed to the success of all the Renault 25s.

The Renault 25 was launched in nine versions, with a combination of five engines, two transmissions and three trim levels. This appealed to drivers and rapidly led to further combinations.

The V6 Turbo was launched in 1985. Its front end was particularly distinctive, with its discreetly off-center Renault diamond. The Limousine version was launched in the same year, then replaced in 1989 by the Renault 25 Baccara, which attained the height of luxury.

Renault face-lifted the 25 in 1988 to boost sales. The body structure was modernized, gaining a more sophisticated grille with rounder lines, new-look headlights and a restyled rear.

The Renault 25 proved a huge success, becoming the fifth best-selling car in France, all categories included. When production came to a halt in May 1992, Renault had sold 780,776 units, a rare achievement in this vehicle segment.
