Page "Renault 25" Paragraph 8

The car underwent a facelift in 1988 with a new front end, taillights, interior materials, and front suspension.

Essentially every panel was changed on the facelifted car, with the intent to smooth the styling.

The new version also featured more powerful engines, the 2. 2i engine being dropped and replaced by a 12v version of the 2. 0i engine which produced 140 bhp.

There were a small number of run-out post-facelift cars fitted with the 2. 2i engine to use up stocks, these were rated at the normal 123 bhp for that engine.
