OVERVIEW OF RENAULT AND THE GROUP GROUPE RENAULT
The New MEGANE will be launched in spring 2020, and will continue to be popular thanks to an even more attractive design and new on-board technologies. Its increasingly advanced range of engines will meet customer expectations in terms of comfort and the environment. The New MEGANE station wagon will inaugurate the first plug-in hybrid powertrain in the MEGANE’s history. With the SCENIC, Renault is holding up against its rivals in a C-MPV segment down 20.5% in Europe, the major market for the model. The segment represented 7.4% of Segment C in Europe in 2019. Last year, the SCENIC attracted 77,830 customers on the continent, with a 16.8% segment share (+0.91 points vs 2018). The leader in the segment in France, Belgium and Italy, it occupies first place in the European C-MPV market. In France, the SCENIC (35,810 vehicles sold) represents a segment share of 42.1% (+4.87 points vs 2018). In Belgium, the SCENIC (9,232 vehicles sold) achieved a segment share of 36.7% (+6.41 points vs 2018). To continue increasing its attractiveness, in 2020, the SCENIC will benefit from a fresh design and updated engines that are increasingly efficient and compliant with current European standards. The KANGOO, produced in Maubeuge (France), was slow to incorporate the new Blue dCi diesel engines in 2019 and thus fell to eighth place in the crew van segment in Europe. The KANGOO PC is marketed in 35 countries with particular success in countries such as Morocco, where the model further increased its Combispace segment share in 2019. The electric light commercial version of the KANGOO Z.E. Concept, a next-generation showcar, was unveiled and its athletic design was enthusiastically received, which bodes well for upcoming PC versions. With its full range of high-end vehicles, Renault now covers all segments in the category: MPV with the ESPACE, sedans with the TALISMAN, also available in a station wagon version for Europe, and an SUV with the KOLEOS. These three models also ensure wide geographic coverage, accounting for approximately 60% of sales in Korea (SM6 and QM6) and China (KOLEOS). The new Renault ESPACE launched in March 2020 adds new features to better meet the needs of high-end customers thanks to: its design: the new Renault ESPACE maintains its crossover P silhouette and reinforces the conventions of SUVs (new, more assertive front bumper, new 20’’ wheel trims, new rear ski). For the first time in the Renault range, the new Renault ESPACE has integrated MATRIX Vision LED adaptive lights that combine design and technology.
