In its first two years of production, the R6 was criticised by the press for the R4-derived engine's lack of power in the heavier R6. However, a new version of the R6 using the 1.1 litre Cléon engine (an engine used in the Renault 8 since 1962) was unveiled at the the 1970 Paris Motor Show and was widely regarded as a big improvement. The new car also had higher equipment levels as well a new gearbox, cooling system and front disc brakes. For the Spanish market the R6 was made available with a 956 cc engine, due to vehicles over 1040 cc being taxable under Spanish tax regulations. In 1974 the R6 was revamped with rectangular headlights, new rear lights, a black plastic grille, and new bumpers. The front indicator lights also moved from between the bumper and the headlights to the bumper itself.
