Special

The Renault 21 has a remarkable body structure. The car weighs only about 1050 kg and still passed the US crash standards of the time in 1987. The Renault 21 was sold by Chrysler as the Eagle Medallion in the USA . In the body there are reinforcements made of light metal alloys, the engine block rests with rubber bearings on the large axle beam, which is integrated into the structure as a subframe . The lateral stability was ensured with two cross members in the car floor. The similarly constructed Renault 19 (weight approx. 930 kg) achieved top marks in crash comparisons in the early 1990s.

In addition, the R21 was built in many body styles. There were two different wheelbases, just to accommodate the different engines (longitudinally or transversely installed engine). Engines installed lengthways required a shorter wheelbase, recognizable by the front fenders; The distance between the wheel and the front door is less than that of the transverse motor variants. Some models were offered with all-wheel drive. The R 21 Nevada was also available with 7 seats.
