The Renault KJ was a compact car or small family car manufactured by Renault in 1923 and 1924. [1]
The Renault KJ was presented at the Mondial de l'Automobile in Paris in 1923, the project was created and designed by Louis Renault. A middle-class car, its competitors were the Peugeot Quadrilette and the Citroen Type C, the Renault KJ was available in a variety of body styles. After only a few months production the 'Coal Scuttle' bonnet was replaced with the new style 'Alligator' bonnet and the car was designated the KJ1.[ citation needed ]
Like almost all Renaults up until this time, the car used a cone based clutch, combined with a 3-speed manual transmission as on the old pre-war 10CV. The brakes only affected the rear wheels. The prominent "gills" on the sides of the bonnet/hood reflected the positioning of the radiator behind the engine.[ citation needed ]
In 1924, Renault ceased production of this model and replaced it with the Renault MT which was similar but, amongst other minor modifications, was fitted with front wheel brakes.[ citation needed ]
