Renault Alliance 1984
Encore
The real novelty is the introduction of the hatchback model, named Encore. It adopts a body style similar to its French cousin, the "Renault 11". It differs from the latter by its rear lights, Americanized bumpers, and a host of other elements.
It is also built in the United States in the same plant as the Alliance.
The Encore is meant to be a new asset for conquering the American market. However, the Encore will mainly eat into the market share of its sister model, the Alliance.
Engine-wise, nothing changes, though the "System Sentry" (fluid monitoring center) is now offered as an option.
As for the Alliance, it remains unchanged from the 1983 model year.
