The Renault 4CV (French: quatre chevaux, pronounced [kat.ʃəvo] as if spelled quat'chevaux)[5] is a car produced by the French company Renault from August 1947 through July 1961.[2] It is a four-door economy car with its engine mounted in the rear and driving the rear wheels. It was the first French car to sell over a million units, and was superseded by the Dauphine.
The 4CV was of monocoque construction,[2] 3.6 m (11 ft 10 in) in length with front suicide doors.[6]
CV is the abbreviation of chevaux-vapeur, the French equivalent to "horsepower" as a unit of power. The name 4CV thus refers to the car's tax horsepower.
