The 1980 Renault 4L is a compact, utilitarian car that became a symbol of French motoring in the 1960s and 1970s. Built by Renault, it was designed as an affordable, practical vehicle that could handle both urban and rural roads. The 4L (often referred to as the Renault 4) is notable for its distinctive, boxy shape and simple construction.

The 1980 model featured a 1.1-liter, 4-cylinder engine producing around 34 horsepower, allowing it to reach a top speed of about 80 mph (130 km/h). While not built for performance, the 4L was designed for efficiency and practicality, offering a fuel-efficient engine that made it ideal for everyday driving.

One of the key features of the 4L was its front-wheel-drive layout and independent suspension, which contributed to its stability and comfort, especially when compared to other cars of its time. It had a spacious, versatile interior with rear seats that could fold flat to increase cargo space, making it an excellent choice for families or people needing to transport goods.

The Renault 4L became one of the most popular cars in France and internationally, with over 8 million units sold during its production run. Known for its ruggedness and reliability, it was used for various purposes, including as a work vehicle and by the French post office. The 1980 version remained faithful to the car's original principles of simplicity, practicality, and affordability.
