Renault

Renault is a French manufacturer of passenger cars, SUVs and commercial vehicles which forms part of the Renault-Nissan-Mitsubishi Alliance.

The company was founded in 1899 and has a rich history in motorsport – including success in Formula 1 and rallying.

With the beloved Renault Sport (RS) performance versions of the Megane hatchback now discontinued, Renault Australia currently only sells SUVs and commercial vehicles, including the Captur, Arkana and Koleos crossovers and its top-selling Master, Trafic and Kangoo commercial vans.

The latter is available in E-Tech battery-electric form, along with the Megane E-Tech mid-size electric SUV.
