TheMonaquatre (Type UY1) was asmall family car assembled byRenault between 1931 and 1936. It used a conventionalfront-engine, rear-wheel-drive configuration and was powered by a four-cylinder water-cooled engine.
Launched in October 1931, the Monaquatre was similar in design toRenault Primaquatrelarge family car with which it shared its 2,650 mm (104.3 in) wheelbase.
At the 1932Paris Motor Show the new Type YN1 version appeared, the engine size increased from 1289 cc to 1463 cc.
In October 1933 the type YN2 appeared at theParis Motor Show, featuring a redesignedbonnet, the angle of theradiatorgrill being now a little more raked.[1] The YN2 was a transitional model, the manufacturer having already decided to fit "aérodynamique" bodies with fashionably sloping tails replacing the very vertical rear ends of the existing cars.[1] By this time the Monaquatre was offered a choice from seven different body types, including 4-doorberlines with four or six side windows and, at the top in terms of price, a 2-door 2-seatcabriolet.[1]
The YN2 was produced for only three months before the new more aerodynamic Type YN3 appeared at the start of 1934, initially with just two body styles from which to choose.[1]
In September 1935 the production of the final version, the Type YN4, ceased like models 1936 Type YN4. The Monaquatre was replaced by theRenault Celtaquatre.
