Renault Type G (1902)

Renault Type G (1902): A family car offering four proper seats and a 200km range

Louis Renault was on the verge of designing his own engines when the Type G appeared. Although still running with a single-cylinder De Dion powerplant, the car’s design was more accommodating than previous models, offering four comfortable seats and, underneath the front passenger seat, a fuel tank that allowed for a range of 124 miles. The brakes received particular attention, with the rear drums operated by a lever in addition to a pedal that activated a transmission-mounted system.

An “attractive and solid car that lives up to the reputation that the Renault brothers have established in the automotive sector”, remarked the press at the time.
