Z17 is the code name for a diminutive Renault upper-range urban vehicle which places the accent on genuine motoring pleasure in a compact package. "Z17 is a vehicle designed for city life. It has been shown that cars carry only 1.4 people on average, but two seat interiors are perceived as a constraint.

Z17 is therefore a genuine three-seater complete with a boot located behind the driver's seat, all built into a compact architecture," explains Patrick Le Quément, Senior Vice President Corporate Design at Renault.

The Next Car Team is the first Australian media outlet to publish information on the Z17 and we'll publish additional details around the time of the 2005 Geneva Motor Show.
