Six-cylinder Posted January 15 Share Posted January 15 The question is whether this Renault 4 GTL is an estate? I think it is an estate, because the whole rear door opens to the floor level and the back is fairly upright. Mrs6C thinks NO, as there is not a saloon/hatch version so there can't be an estate version. Also Wikipedia says The Renault 4, or R4 in short (and 4L, pronounced "Quatrelle", in French), is an economy car built by the French company Renault from 1961 to 1994. Although the Renault 4 was first marketed as a short estate or wagon, its minimal rear overhang, and its top-hinged, single-piece tail-gate made it the world's first mass-produced hatchback car What do you think, Estate or not?

andyberg Posted January 15 Share Posted January 15 I think it can belong in any thread 😁 but is more than welcome here. Personally I would say it's a hatchback. Burnside and Six-cylinder 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The term “hatchback” didn’t appear until 1970 and the R4 predates that. Renault called it a Station wagon. Other cars that are obviously hatchbacks also appeared before 1970. The Maxi and MGB GT spring to mind. andyberg 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
