Renault Rodeo

The Renault Rodeo was a series of off-road mini SUVs produced between 1970 and 1987 by ACL for Renault, in three generations. It was first called the ACL Rodeo and became the Renault Rodeo in July 1976. The car was front wheel drive, though four-wheel-drive technology supplied by Sinpar could be ordered. The Rodeo 4 of 1970 used the platform of the Renault 4 van with an 845 cc engine, and the Rodeo 6 of 1972 took the 1108 cc engine of the Renault 6, later enlarged to the 1289 cc engine of the Renault 5. A smaller, entirely new body called the Rodeo 5 replaced both in 1981 and ran to 1987, with a limited series of all wheel drive Rodeo Hoggar cars built in 1984. In Argentina Renault also used the Rodeo name for a flatbed variant of the first generation Trafic.
