Renault Wind's length of 3.83 meters sees the newcomer slot between Twingo (3,60 m) and Clio (4,03 m), and marks the addition to the Renault range of a new, compact, coupé-roadster concept that is ideally suited to everyday motoring.

FOR WHO? AND IN RESPONSE TO WHAT DEMAND?
Renault sees no reason why the freedom associated with wind-in-thehair motoring should be the exclusive reserve of the higher-end segments. On the contrary, there is an unmet demand in Europe for a small convertible that can serve as an everyday car, either for the driver alone or for a couple without children. Such customers are quite young (or young at heart!), attracted by the sporty cues of coupés and roadsters and looking for eye-catching looks, as well as a model that is sufficiently practical to serve as an everyday car.

RENAULT WIND: A COUPÉ-ROADSTER
To meet this demand, it was necessary to produce a coupé-roadster with a unique, striking design and sporty looks, but without making any concessions with regard to the features that are seen to go hand-inhand with the sense of true freedom:

a clever, robust, easy-to-use roof-opening mechanism that delivers genuine wind-in-the-hair thrills,
an exceptionally practical car, with consistent boot space whether the top is up or down,
compact dimensions and nimble handling ideally suited to driving in and around town,
fun, punchy dynamics combined with low fuel consumption,
a low-set driving position and a sporty layout for the controls,
an outstanding equipment and specification package for its price.
