Renault Alliance/Encore Mexico : Los triunfadores
Sources
To build this article, I needed to find rare information...
So, I would like to thank:
The article is not finished yet but there is already quite a lot of information :)
Introduction
Today, we are familiar with the history of the Alliance and Encore built in Kenosha and sold in North America, in the United States and Canada.
For these two countries, the models are the same; no particular specificities.
The Alliance and Encore in this article are different in many ways.
Mexico is the only country in the rest of the American continent to have had the Alliance/Encore.
In Argentina and Colombia, for example, they were Renault 9 & Renault 11.
We will look at the specific features of the Mexican Alliance/Encore.
So, here is some information that we were able to gather on the internet.
If you have additional information, help us because we still have many questions!
