At the Paris Motor Show in 1929, the Renault range for 1930 was deeply reworked. First of all, the 4 cylinder 6 CV has disappeared. Louis Renault believes that the 6-cylinder Monasix is economical enough to become the low end model. Unification of the radiator transforms the aperance of all models. All new for this year is the 8-cylinder Nervastella. Seven different models are included in the Billancourt program this year, all with side valve engines.
