OVERVIEW OF RENAULT AND THE GROUP

In Europe, the C-SUV sub-segment is the largest, representing more than 2.2 million vehicles sold, or nearly half of C-segment sales (46.6%). Based on its two main strengths (exterior design and comfort), and in an increasingly competitive market, the KADJAR sold over 69,000 units worldwide in 2020. For the KADJAR in Europe, this means sales of over 63,000 and a segment share of 3.2% in 2020. In some major markets, it performed well, as it did in France, where the model is in the top sellers with a segment share of 7.8% and more than 20,000 registrations. The DUSTER’s success is embodied by excellent international sales spanning all continents – India, Russia and Latin America – with nearly 1.5 million units sold since its launch, putting it in the top three of the C-SUV segment in Russia and Latin America. Launched in Brazil in 2020, the new DUSTER will set out to conquer other Latin American countries and Russia in 2021, with a compelling exterior and interior design that has been completely overhauled. It now features striking new equipment: new multimedia system with 8-inch screen, hands-free access card, and new driving aids: blind spot warning, multi-view camera, downhill speed control ​​ (4X4). With this new generation, perceived quality improves without compromising on the attributes that have made the DUSTER so successful: robustness, roominess, reliability, off-road capabilities and equipment adapted to the needs of the various markets. Launched in June of this year in Russia, the KAPTUR Phase 2 has seen its interior significantly improved in terms of finishes, with better quality materials, as well as in terms of usability. Its new equipment – and above all its new 1.3 l turbo engine – have been widely acclaimed by the press and customers. This engine already accounts for more than half of the model’s sales. This model will set out to conquer Latin America at the end of next year. The ARKANA, launched in September 2019, continues to attract new customers for the Renault brand in Russia thanks to its unique design in this price range. In 2021, this model will gain traction from the release of a new limited series and continuous improvement, particularly around perceived quality. The C-HATCH sub-segment fell 14.3% worldwide in 2020, while in Europe it decreased by 24.3%. The C-ESTATE sub-segment also fell, by 17.6% worldwide and by 20% in Europe. In 2020, the HATCH+ESTATE sub-segment accounted for 42.9% of the C-segment, in which the MEGANE is in eleventh place with a segment share of 3.6% (-1.25 pts vs. 2019) and 71,968 vehicles sold in Europe (PC). In 2020, the MEGANE HATCH fell in France but remained in second place (20,640 vehicles sold excluding company), with a 14.0% segment share (-2.43 pts vs. 2019). The MEGANE is also among the Top 6 in Spain, with a 6.4% segment share (-0.78 pts vs. 2019); The MEGANE is in the Top 4 in Portugal, 13.3% segment share, -4.31 pts vs. 2019), and second in France with a 20% segment share (-1.97 pts vs. 2019).

The MEGANE SEDAN had a very good year in Turkey, ranking second in its segment with more than 40,000 units sold during the year (+73.6% vs. 2019) bringing its segment share to 15.4% (+1.76 pts vs. 2019). With 130,096 units sold (PC+LCV), including 71,968 in Europe (PC) and 62,309 including LCV, the MEGANE, in its 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. The New MEGANE was launched in spring 2020, and continues to be popular thanks to an even more attractive design and new on-board technologies. Its increasingly advanced range of engines meets customer expectations in terms of comfort and the environment. The New MEGANE ESTATE presents the first plug-in hybrid powertrain (E-TECH) in the history of the MEGANE and Renault's C-segment, pending its next unveiling in the Sedan version in 2021. The C-MPV sub-segment was down 46% to represent only 5.5% of Segment C in Europe in 2020. In 2020, the SCENIC held up well, attracting 37,048 customers on the continent, with a 14.5% segment share (-2 pts vs. 2019). This year, it occupied third place in the European C-MPV market, and was leader in France and Belgium. In France, the SCENIC (17,845 vehicles sold) represents a segment share of 38.5% (-2.94 pts vs. 2019). In Belgium, the SCENIC (4,376 vehicles sold) achieved a segment share of 32.5% (-3.56 pts vs. 2019). To continue increasing its attractiveness, in 2020, the SCENIC benefitted from a fresh design and updated engines that are increasingly efficient and compliant with current European standards. The KANGOO, which has been made in Maubeuge (France) for 13 years, is in its last year of production for Europe in 2020. It thus finishes in seventh place in the Combispace segment in Europe, with a range limited exclusively to BVM diesel engines. The new generation KANGOO was unveiled in picture in November 2020, with its elegant and athletic design sparking enthusiasm. The first deliveries are slated for the spring of 2021. For some countries outside Europe, the New KANGOO will be supported by the New EXPRESS made in Tangiers (Morocco). 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 65% of sales in Korea (SM6 and QM6) and China (KOLEOS). The new Renault ESPACE launched in June 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. Inside, the new Renault ESPACE adopts the new design interpretation of the high-end brand INITIALE Paris. This version accounts for 65% of the versions sold;
