OVERVIEW OF RENAULT AND THE GROUP

The station wagon version will continue to be offered alongside the new CLIO in a selection of countries where the customer base for that type of vehicle remains large enough. In the growing B crossover sub-segment, after a six-year run and over 1.5 million units sold worldwide to date, Renault renewed the CAPTUR at the end of 2019. The new CAPTUR is reinventing itself, while keeping the best of its classic features that made it a success worldwide. Even more versatile, customizable, and focusing on modularity, the new CAPTUR has grown 11 cm, transformed its exterior design to be more assertive and revolutionized its interior design by introducing the Smart Cockpit in a high quality cabin, in the same way as the New CLIO. This revolution also has a technological aspect: the new CAPTUR is part of the Group’s strategies for connectivity (with the new EASY LINK system), autonomous vehicles (with the Traffic and Highway Assistant – SAE Level 2 assistance) and electrification. In 2020, the new CAPTUR E-TECH plug-in hybrid will be Groupe Renault’s first plug-in hybrid vehicle. A vehicle with global aspirations, the new CAPTUR will be marketed in over 70 countries, including China, where the Group’s ambitions are high. Although the competitive environment is still very aggressive, the CAPTUR 1 managed to retain its leadership in 2019 in its main markets, even in its last year of marketing. In Europe, the CAPTUR 1 continues to occupy first place (with an 11.5% Segment B crossover share, with volumes up at 216,400 vehicles in 2019). The vehicle remains popular with our customers and continues to contribute significantly to the Brand’s image. The DUSTER is also a success in international markets thanks to its robustness, roominess, reliability and equipment tailored to the needs of different markets. As a result, the DUSTER represents a significant share of international PC sales (mainly in India, Russia and Latin America), with more than 1,405,000 sales since its launch, placing it in the Top 3 of the C-SUV Segment in Russia and Latin America. In an attempt to reinforce its image as the leading SUV brand in Russia, Renault has begun a new chapter in the history of its Stepway range (SANDERO Stepway, LOGAN Stepway and DOKKER Stepway). All of these models are equipped with the new MediaNav Evolution multimedia system with Replication Smartphone AndroidAuto ® and CarPlay ® . This feature gives consumers the ability to interact more easily with their smartphones via the instrument panel screen. The renewal of Segment B continues in Latin America, with the new SANDERO, LOGAN and STEPWAY phases launched in August 2019 in Brazil. These vehicles now carry updated technological content, such as the new CVT transmission, the MediaNav Evolution multimedia system with Replication Smartphone AndroidAuto ® and CarPlay ® . These features offer a design that integrates stylistic elements typical of the Renault brand (front & rear light signatures and a new radiator grille). Following Russia in 2016, the KAPTUR/CAPTUR made its entry on the various markets of Latin America and India in 2017. Produced in the Moscow, Curitiba and Chennai plants, the KAPTUR/CAPTUR, a C-segment SUV, is well matched with the DUSTER, thanks to its very attractive design and product characteristics adapted to the requirements of these markets. KAPTUR/CAPTUR confirmed its strong global expansion potential with over 226,000 sales.

Renault is the first mass-market carmaker to launch a crossover coupé. The ARKANA is the perfect fusion between the elegance of a sedan and the robustness of an SUV: an innovative and pioneering concept with Renault brand features to meet new aspirations in the Russian market. This concept has international ambitions, starting with China and South Korea. This crossover coupé is destined to become the flagship of the brand in Russia. Currently, Renault has a record market share of 8.5%, thanks to the success of the Renault KAPTUR and DUSTER. The launch of the ARKANA should enable it to reach a 10% market share. Segment C represented 36.7% of the global market in 2019 and 40.3% in Europe, where Renault is in the Top 10 (behind VW, Peugeot, BMW, Ford, Opel, Skoda, Toyota and Mercedes) with a 5.1% segment share and more than 323,000 vehicles sold, a decrease of 7.7% from 2018. For the past 10 years, the C-SUV segment has continued to grow steadily worldwide, with a +1.6% rise in 2019. In Europe, the C-SUV segment increase was +11%, with more than 2.5 million vehicles sold, representing 41% of sales in the C-segment. The new KADJAR arrived in showrooms in January 2019 with a restyling that makes its design more modern and even more attractive. Its interior has also changed to offer more comfort and noticeably better quality. The new KADJAR also has an efficient, competitive range of engines (gasoline & diesel) that will meet European standards in 2020. Based on its two main strengths (exterior design and comfort), and in an increasingly competitive market, the KADJAR sold over 124,000 units worldwide in 2019. For the KADJAR in Europe, this means sales of over 109,000 and a segment share of 4.3% in 2019. In some major markets, it performed well, as it did in France, where the model is in the Top 3 with a segment share of 8.5% and more than 28,000 registrations. The C-HATCH segment fell 16.2% worldwide in 2019, while in Europe it decreased by 5.4%. The C-ESTATE segment increased by 17.9% worldwide and fell by 0.1% in Europe. In 2019, the HATCH+ESTATE segment accounted for 41.2% of the C-segment, in which the MEGANE is in ninth place with a segment share of 4.8% (-0.18 pt vs 2018) and more than 126,000 vehicles sold in Europe (PC). In 2019, the MEGANE HATCH fell in France but remained in the Top 2 (32,868 vehicles sold excluding company), with a 16.2% segment share (+1.36 points vs. 2018). The MEGANE is also among the Top 5 in Spain, with a 7.1% segment share (-0.12 points vs. 2018); The MEGANE Estate is in the Top 2 in Portugal, 17.6% segment share, -2.40 points vs. 2018), second in France with a 23.0% segment share (-0.80 points vs. 2018) and third in Spain with a 9.4% segment share (-0.06 points vs. 2018). The MEGANE Sedan is the leader in its segment in Turkey, with over 24,000 units sold in the year. With 172,144 units sold (PC+LCV), including 126,065 in Europe (PC) and 131,356 including LCV, the MEGANE, in these three versions, is the largest sales volume in the Segment C for Renault. The model is very popular with its buyers for its design, level of equipment and comfort. Moreover, the design continues to be the first reason for choosing the model, in a segment, where the first reason for buying is usually brand loyalty.
