The Renault 17 (R17 for short) was a three-door station wagon coupé introduced by Renault in July 1971. The front-wheel drive vehicle was based on the Renault 12 and replaced the Renault Caravelle after three years of Renault's absence from the coupé market. The R17's engines were taken from the Renault 16.
Electromod
In 2024 Renault presented a prototype electrified restomod R17 in collaboration with Ora-Ïto.[1]
Production
During the entire production period, a total of 209,887 Renault 15s and 94,969 Renault 17s were manufactured.[2] Due to corrosion and wear, most examples have since disappeared from the streets.
