  • Dem Zeitgeist Immer Ein Stück Voraus
    Kurzfassung Renault Design setzt auf Differenzierung Dem Zeitgeist immer ein Stück voraus ?? Eigenständige Designkultur als strategisches Unternehmensziel ?? Konzeptionelle Kreativität stärkt Markenidentität ?? Wegweisende Entwürfe mit zeitloser Formensprache Renault hat ein mutiges und eigenständiges Produktdesign als unternehmerisches Kernziel formuliert und misst ihm in allen Fahrzeugsegmenten – vom kompakten Twingo bis zum luxuriösen Vel Satis – eine hohe strategische Bedeutung zu. „Renault setzt beim Design und in der Konzeption neuer Modelle bewusst auf Differenzierung und Eigenständigkeit“, betont Konzernchef Louis Schweitzer. Wegweisendes Design artikuliert Markenidentität Meilensteine in allen Fahrzeugsegmenten wie der wendige Twingo (Debüt 1992), der familienfreundliche Scénic (Debüt 1996), der praktische Kangoo (Debüt 1997) oder der komfortable Vel Satis (Debüt 2002) brechen bewusst mit dem Design herkömmlicher Modelle und tragen maßgeblich dazu bei, die Renault-Markenidentität „visionär, mutig und mit Herz“ noch prononcierter zu betonen. Als „Créateur d’Automobiles“ gibt sich das Unternehmen nicht mit uniformer Austauschware zufrieden, sondern präsentiert optisch attraktive und konzeptionell eigenständige Produkte. Dabei stehen die Bedürfnisse der Kunden auch für die stilistischen Vorgaben der Designer stets im Mittelpunkt. Im fruchtbaren Austausch zwischen den ästhetischen und den rationalen Kriterien entsteht ein in sich schlüssiges und Marken-typisches Automobil-Design. Die stringente Renault Design-Philosophie findet im

  • Alpine Passion Through the Years at Retromobile
    COMMUNIQUÉ DE PRESSE 07­02­2017 ALPINE PASSION THROUGH THE YEARS AT RETROMOBILE Retromobile set to play host to six classic Alpine models The Alpine Vision show car will also be on display as a symbolic bridge between the brand’s past and future Boulogne­Billancourt, February 7, 2017 – Groupe Renault is pleased to confirm Alpine’s participation in the 42nd edition of Retromobile (February 8­12, with Press Evening on February 7) at the Porte de Versailles exhibition centre in Paris. Just days away from the global unveil of the brand’s eagerly­anticipated new road car that will go on sale this year, Alpine aficionados and automotive aesthetes alike will have the opportunity to either discover or rediscover some of the most iconic models ever to have sported the famous arrowed ‘A’ badge. ALPINE A106 The adventure begins! This striking ‘Coach’ – launched back in 1955 – was the very first Alpine, exhibiting the unmistakable hallmarks that would go on to characterise all of the Dieppe­based manufacturer’s future models. The son of a Dieppe Renault dealer – whom he would subsequently succeed, in so doing becoming the youngest car dealer in France – Jean Rédélé threw himself into the competitive world of motorsport in 1950. His skill behind the wheel saw him tally excellent results and class triumphs in events as prestigious as the Rallye Monte­Carlo, the Mille Miglia, the Tour de France Automobile and the daunting Liège­Rome­Liège Rally. These successes were achieved with a Renault 4CV, but Jean Rédélé had somewhat loftier ambitions: his dream was to produce a small French sports car using as many mass­ produced parts as possible.

  • Press Release
    Press Release MAY 22, 2015 Renault celebrates the 50th anniversary of the Renault 16 – the family ‘voiture a vivre’ par excellence This year marks the 50th anniversary of one of the most ingenuous saloon cars of its day, the Renault 16. In 1965, the Renault 16 stood out as the first status saloon to feature a tailgate, providing it with an unprecedented level of versatility for its day. The model’s original lines lost no time winning over French families of the baby boom years looking for a prestige motor car. The Renault 16 will also be remembered for its modern, avant­garde equipment specification. 1965: The Renault 16, the original family ‘Voiture à Vivre’ The history of Renault’s family cars started 50 years ago in France during the post­war boom. In early 1965, the brand unveiled an innovative new vehicle at the Geneva Motor Show: the Renault 16. This new hatchback featured an original body shape founded on a two­ box design complete with a tailgate for access to the boot. The model combined functional qualities with elegant looks and no fewer than six windows, carrying over the ingredients that were behind the success of the Renault 4 to an upmarket family vehicle. It was the perfect family car. Renault’s determination to innovate The project to design a successor to the Frégate was an ambitious one, especially as Pierre Dreyfus – Renault’s CEO from 1955 to 1975 – wanted it to stand out from its rivals. “We have to take a different approach,” he proclaimed. “Cars can’t just be four seats and a boot any longer.

But most importantly, the Renault 4 resonates with the different values conveyed by the brand's new slogan, which means it cannot perfectly illustrate how these values are rooted in the genes of Renault.
