Renaults smallest car
with a 92.5-in. Wheelbase, the juvaquatre, which was intended to cut into a market profitably mined by peugeot and simca, was the smallest car renault had ever built. Aimed at a youthful clientele, it broke with renault tradition by using unibody steel constaiction and independent front suspension. In most other respects, including the side-valve four-cylinder engine and cable brakes, the juvaquatre was more traditional. Hydraulic brakes were used after the war.
