OVERVIEW OF RENAULT AND THE GROUP

Over the past 15 years, Dacia has enjoyed growing success, with more than 7 million customers, many of them Dacia enthusiasts, meeting at community events in many countries and exchanging views on social networks about the use of their cars. 2020, the start of a new chapter The COVID-19 health crisis has had a considerable impact on the sale of vehicles, particularly to private individuals, the preferred channel for the Dacia brand. Nearly 521,000 vehicles were sold during the year, a 29% decline on the record set in 2019. Despite the bleak backdrop, Dacia now boasts all-time high levels of market share in Spain and Hungary, and remains the undisputed leader in Romania and Morocco. In Europe, the SANDERO was the best-selling vehicle for individual customers for the fourth year in a row. The ECO-G, bi-fuel gasoline-LPG powertrain offered on the majority of the range achieved a significant breakthrough: more than one in two cars with engines running on LPG sold in Europe was a Dacia. 2020 was the year of the launch of the new generation of the iconic LOGAN and the no less emblematic SANDERO and SANDERO Stepway. This launch has allowed Dacia to refresh its offering in the city and multi-purpose compact segments to meet all the needs of individuals. The new SANDERO, SANDERO Stepway and LOGAN are revitalized incarnations of the spirit of their elders. For a price that is still as low as ever, they provide access to a new model at the best value for money on the market. Retaining their external dimensions, they offer more modernity, volume and versatility without repudiating their fundamentals of simplicity and reliability. They change platforms and offer a higher level of equipment, active and passive safety, new engines including a dual gasoline/LPG format, a new automatic gearbox and a new six-speed manual gearbox. The SANDERO has become the best-seller of the range since its launch. With nearly 2.2 million units sold, it accounted for 41% of the brand’s sales in 2020. Its Stepway version represents 68% of the SANDERO family sales mix. The LOGAN is Dacia’s flagship model and the brand’s legacy family sedan. In 2005, it revolutionized the automotive market by making new cars accessible to a wider public. Fifteen years later, still true to its original values, the new generation offers increased comfort and record-breaking roominess. A key model for sedan markets like Romania and Morocco, the New LOGAN represents 27% of cumulative Dacia brand sales and will continue to appeal to customers looking for spacious cars. Three years after the launch of the new generation model, DUSTER’s success story continues as it retains its ranking among the SUVs with the highest sales in the individual market in Europe. Its still very attractive price, well thought-out features such as the multi-view camera system and hands-free card, combined with its 4x4 capacities, continue to attract more and more customers. The DOKKER, the practical, versatile 5-seater Combispace, and DOKKER Van, its LCV version, had an excellent year in 2020, with 71,000 sales, mainly in the Combispace segment in Europe, ranking

in fourth place with 14.1% of segment share. Since their launch the DOKKER and the DOKKER Van have exceeded 630,000 sales. In 2021, the DOKKER Van will give way to a 100% Renault Van offer with the New EXPRESS Van and the New KANGOO Van. 2020 was also the year of a new chapter in Dacia’s history with the unveiling of its first fully electric model. The brand’s entry into the electric city car market was heralded in March 2020 with the presentation of the Dacia SPRING Electric show car. The SPRING Electric is a revolution: positioned as the cheapest electric city car in the market, it makes electric mobility even more accessible. Behind its disruptive SUV look, it boasts record-breaking roominess, a simple and reliable electric engine and a reassuring range. Robust and well-equipped, the SPRING Electric will address both retail customers and new areas of electric mobility such as car sharing and last-mile delivery. Renault Samsung Motors Founded in 2000, the Renault Samsung Motors (RSM) brand is marketed exclusively in South Korea, with a range of five sedans (including one 100% electric model) and two SUVs. Particularly renowned for its quality of service, in 2020, RSM ranked as the leader in customer satisfaction for the nineteenth consecutive year in sales, and for the fifth consecutive year in after-sales. The brand’s volumes amounted to 90,300 units in 2020, an increase of 14% compared with 2019, with market share of 5.5%. In sedans, the SM3 covers the C segment and is only available in an electric version (SM3 Z.E.) (857 units sold, an increase of 8%). The SM6 sedan is closely derived from the Renault TALISMAN. Both vehicles were developed at the same time by the two engineering centers Renault Technologies Korea in Seoul and the Renault Technocentre in France. First marketed in March 2016, the SM6’s immediate success continued into 2017 and 2018. The New SM6, launched last July, sold 8,527 vehicles in 2020, giving it a 4.4% segment share (third place), just behind the local brands, thanks in particular to the arrival of two new turbo gasoline engines (powerful yet frugal TCe160 EDC and TCe225 EDC). For SUVs, the range includes the QM6, launched on September 1, 2016. Sold under the Renault Samsung Motors brand, the QM6 is positioned in the D-SUV segment. In 2020, 46,825 units were sold, only a slight decline of 1.7% compared with 2019, despite the crisis. The QM6 thus maintained its third ranking in its category, with a 19.4% segment share in a market dominated by local players. In 2020, Renault Samsung Motors introduced the XM3 SUV Coupé, based on the 2019 XM3 Inspire show car. RSM is the first mass-market carmaker to launch this type of concept on the South Korean market. The XM3 is the Korea-specific version of the Renault ARKANA SUV Coupé, already on sale in Russia. The XM3’s launch is part of Groupe Renault’s international strategy. Manufactured at the Busan plant south of Seoul, the XM3 conquered the South Korean market from its launch, with 34,091 units sold in 2020 and an 18% segment share (No. 3 behind local brands).
