Renault Midlum (I) 220 215hp (158kW) 700Nm — mass-market diesel engine of the commercial segment of the Renault-Nissan-Mitsubishi Alliance group (Франция, 1899). Stage 1 chip tuning raises power from 215 to 245 hp (+30 hp, +14%) and torque from 700 to 805 Nm (+105 Nm).

Renault shares platforms and engines with Nissan, Dacia and Mercedes (through technical partnerships). dCi is Renault's signature designation for its turbo diesels.

On older-generation Renault models, Stage 1 is done via OBD without bench. The Renault community in France and Eastern Europe offers a large pool of ready-made Stage files. Within the Renault-Nissan Alliance, ECUs are partly standardised, so some files carry over between brands. High-output Renault Sport RS models sit in the sports segment, with solid headroom for Stage 1.
