OVERVIEW OF RENAULT AND THE GROUP GROUPE RENAULT
Automotive: brands and ranges 1.1.4.1 Groupe Renault designs, manufactures and sells passenger cars and light commercial vehicles and innovative services accessible to as many people as possible under five automotive brands: Renault, Dacia, Renault Samsung, Alpine and LADA. The Renault brand: an asset for the future In a world of constantly changing mobility, Renault designs its products and services for the way its customers live and drive, with boldness and ingenuity and a strong focus on people. Renault is a warm and friendly brand that combines the joy of life and pleasure in a new mobility that is more shared, more connected and more respectful of the planet. Established in 134 countries and distributed at 13,000 points of sale, the brand continues to expand internationally and offers a range of over 30 models, all countries combined. Proud of its French roots, Renault is continuing its international expansion. Renault’s vehicle range is designed to meet local needs as effectively as possible in all locations. This year was marked by the launches of new models, the ARKANA (Russia), the TRIBER (India) and the K-Z.E. (China), together with the renewal of the CLIO, ZOE and CAPTUR (Europe). In 2020, in addition to the renewal of the MEGANE, TALISMAN, ESPACE (Europe), KAPTUR (Russia), Renault plans to roll out an extensive electrification program for the entire range. A pioneer and expert in electric vehicles with the Renault Z.E. range, Renault offers its customers a wide and complementary choice of energy sources and solutions. With the launch of E-TECH, the new hybrid solution available on its iconic vehicles, Renault meets the expectations of customers seeking versatility and responds to the challenges of the energy transition. In segment B, Renault is the only manufacturer to offer a full range of electric-powered vehicles, with 100% electric, hybrid and plug-in hybrid models. With the Renault PRO+, the brand is committed to simplifying the lives of its professional customers with customized solutions. Our iconic Renault Sport vehicles use the best technology and offer captivating emotional experiences to their customers, a complement to our commitment to Formula 1, the ultimate laboratory for our innovations and know-how around the world. After unveiling its vision of shared mobility with the EZ-GO, EZ-PRO and EZ-ULTIMO concept cars in 2018, Renault continues to rethink the vehicle of the future – electric, autonomous and connected – to respond to the new uses and expectations of its customers around the world. Passenger cars (PC) In the small car segment (A and B-segments and similar passenger cars), Renault offers a wide range of complementary models: the KWID, LOGAN, SANDERO, SANDERO Stepway, TRIBER, TWINGO, CLIO, CAPTUR and SYMBOL.
The KWID, launched in October 2015 on the Indian market, in 2017 in Brazil and Argentina and in 2019 in Mexico and Colombia, has already sold over 610,000 cars. Its success is a testament to the unique, trusted product offering designed to be affordable for as many people as possible as well as to the quality of the sales strategy that accompanied the launches: a dealer network that is motivated and fully supported by modern and efficient digital tools. KWID thus confirms its very strong potential for global expansion thanks to its position in the Top 3 in Latin America in Segment A and this year’s launch of the new KWID in India. In the small city car Segment A , TWINGO is gaining share thanks to its renewal in the first half of the year. More refined while keeping its fun and agility, the New TWINGO has been modernized and now has the C-Shape light signature. Both inside and out, it offers new customization options. It also has the latest connectivity innovations with the new Renault EASY CONNECT ecosystem. The new TWINGO is available with three gasoline engines, including the new SCe 75 and its EDC offer, unique in the segment. To celebrate this launch, Renault teamed up with the French activewear brand Le Coq Sportif to create an exclusive limited series. With its French flag-inspired design and extensive equipment, the New Renault TWINGO “Le Coq Sportif” has played a key role in the commercial launch’s success. As a result, the TWINGO maintained its clear leadership in Segment A in France again this year (26.3% share of Segment A in 2019), well ahead of its competitors, the F500 (14% segment share) and P108 (11.2% segment share). It has even earned a position in Europe, where it now ranks fourth (7.4% 2019 Segment A share) with volumes stable. In Segment B (sedans and station wagons), 2019 was marked by the launch of the new CLIO (5th generation) in Europe. The exterior design of the new CLIO is evolving to capitalize on the success of the CLIO IV, which was boosted by its attractive, unique design. The CLIO V’s revolutionary interior with its Smart Cockpit incorporates the largest screens in the segment into a cabin of the highest quality. It also embodies a technological revolution. The CLIO is the flagship for the Group’s strategies for connectivity (new EASY LINK connected system with Google address search), electrification (with CLIO E-TECH in 2020: Groupe Renault’s first Full Hybrid) and the integration of more advanced driver assistance technologies, paving the way for autonomous vehicles (SAE Level 2 assistance technology with the Traffic and Highway Assistant). During the industrial and commercial launch period, the Clio further consolidated its leading place in Europe in the first half of the year (MS 10.9%, up 1.8 points vs. the Polo #2), before the new generation further increased the CLIO’s lead on the market during the 2nd half of the year (+2.8 points vs. the Polo #2). In 2019, the CLIO thus had an exceptional performance with 344,000 vehicles sold and a Europe segment share of 11.5%. In France, the CLIO is the best-selling vehicle for the seventh consecutive year, with 154,5000 vehicles sold. On international markets, the CLIO IV continued to grow its share, despite the volatility of the Turkish market. The CLIO is the leader in
its segment in Turkey, Algeria and Morocco. In 2019, a total of 430,000 CLIOs were sold.
