Renault Vivaquatre was launched in 1932. It replaced Renault 10 CV (the commercial name of Renault Type KZ). Very similar to its forerunner, it inherited its qualities: robustness and utility aspect. In addition, it came with standard or long chassis; those were the only two options available: for Renault Vivaquatre, no specific bodyworks like for the cabriolets and the coupés.

A specific variant of Renault Vivaquatre KZ 11 quickly became the preferred taxi in Paris. And quite understandably so, since it boasted elegance and unrivalled comfort compared to competition. And not forgetting, the 7-seat bodywork (instead of the usual 5). Did you know the G7 taxi company, with its fleet composed of KZ 11 was nicknamed “G7” by Parisians because of that?

Renault Vivaquatre had 7 seats, the steering column was straightened and the cowl cut, in order to shorten the vehicle without negatively impacting driving, especially in cities. Since it was used as a taxi, the model had some space at the front, next to the driver, to fit luggage. The front right-hand door also had a small “fold space” so that it can be opened to 180° towards the front bonnet without touching the wheel arch. Bulky objects could also be carried while sticking out of the vehicle.

As of 1934, Renault updated the design of its cars. “Square bodies” became a thing of the past, making way for aerodynamics. Grilles and windscreens were angled, the rear-end rounded. Renault Vivaquatre sported this new styling trend.

COBBLED STREETS
Renault Vivaquatre was launched in 1932 and pursued a career until 1939 (after a new engine was fitted in 1936). At least as far as its civilian life is concerned. The Vivaquatre KZ 11 taxi or Taxi G7 version would be used up to the mid 1960s. In service for over 30 years, those taxis so easy to make out with the red and black uniforms of the G7 company held a life span record.
