FactFor one year only, 1984, Renault built an all-wheel-drive Rodeo 5 called the Hoggar — a genuine 4x4 variant of a car usually sold as a cheap, rugged plastic-bodied runabout.
A new model with a smaller and entirely new body replaced the Rodeos 4 and 6 in 1981, called Rodeo 5 or simply Rodeo, and built until 1987; a limited series of all-wheel-drive versions was built in 1984 only, called the Rodeo Hoggar. The page gives no engine for this generation (the series list of 845, 1108 and 1289 cc is not split by model). Renault also used the Rodeo name in Argentina for a flatbed variant of the first-generation Renault Trafic with a removable bed that could serve as a rolling chassis for specific rear compartments.

Owning one
We don’t estimate running costs for a car like this. What it costs depends on its condition, its specialist and how it is driven, and an average would mislead.
