Renault

What the group makes

Renault Group is a French car maker with its headquarters in Boulogne-Billancourt, on the western edge of Paris. Its official website presents the group as three car brands: Renault, Dacia and Alpine. Alongside the cars, the group runs a financial arm called Mobilize Financial Services, which supports vehicle sales and customer financing. Group communications for 2025 report about 2.3 million vehicles sold.

Where it is based and sold

The company traces its beginnings to 1898 in Boulogne-Billancourt, and it still keeps its base in the same town, where a new headquarters building was planned to open in 2026. Renault sells cars through national websites, including a dedicated United Kingdom site that lists the electric range, prices and charging times for British buyers.

Its electric line-up

The electric cars carry the E-Tech name. The United Kingdom site lists the Renault 5, Renault 4, Megane, Scenic and Twingo as electric passenger cars, with stated range figures from about 194 miles to 392 miles on the WLTP test, depending on the model and battery. Most models offer the My Renault smartphone app, a Google built-in infotainment system called openR link, and a long list of driver assistance systems. Charging times quoted on the site run from roughly 24 to 30 minutes for a fast-charging session, under the conditions set out on each page. The group also sells electric vans, including the Kangoo Van and the Master.
