Renault KJ

The Renault KJ was a compact car, a small family car, that Renault manufactured in 1923 and 1924. The project was created and designed by Louis Renault, the national licensing authority granted its approval on 7 July 1922, and the car was presented at the Mondial de l'Automobile in Paris in 1923 as a middle-class car competing with the Peugeot Quadrilette and the Citroën Type C. The KJ had a water-cooled four-cylinder engine of 951 cm3 with a three-speed gearbox, rated at 6CV or 15HP, and a top speed between 45 and 60 km/h depending on the gear ratio. The KJ1 variant, approved on 28 November 1922, had an engine hood as wide and tall as the radiator and stayed on sale until 1924, when Renault replaced the model with the similar Renault MT. Documented body styles include a roadster and a limousine.
