The Renault Monasix (Type RY) was an compact car or small family car automobile manufactured between 1927 to 1932 by Renault.

Details and evolutions

The car was considered a commercial failure mainly because the engine was too small for the car's length and weight, which often led to problems in keeping the car under control. Renault ended production of the car in 1932. The Monasix was the first Renault with a six cylinder engine. The Paris taxi company purchased a large number of the Monasix: 5000 taxi versions were made, the last of which were used in Paris until 1962. In competition, the Monasix was raced in the Morocco Rally in 1928. The Monastella version was an upgraded version of Monasix with better trim. Production ended in 1932 and the car was replaced by the Renault Monaquatre.
