Where is Renault produced?
2 Answers
Renault is produced in France. Renault is an automobile manufacturing and sales company founded by the Renault brothers, with its headquarters in Boulogne, France. It is also a long-established automobile manufacturer. The company's main products include Renault-branded cars, commercial vehicles, sports cars, racing cars, compact cars, mid-size cars, SUVs, and large vehicles (including trucks, construction vehicles, and buses). Taking the Renault Fluence as an example, it is a compact car with dimensions of 4620mm in length, 1810mm in width, and 1480mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2702mm. In terms of power, the Renault Fluence is equipped with 1.6-liter and 2.0-liter four-cylinder gasoline engines, with maximum power outputs of 110 horsepower and 140 horsepower respectively, paired with the Nissan Alliance's X-TRONIC CVT transmission.
Renault has quite a few production locations worldwide. Although it's a classic French brand, its factories are spread across the globe. From what I know, its core manufacturing bases are in France itself—for instance, some plants near Renault's headquarters produce classic models. But to expand its market reach, it operates the Palencia plant in Spain for mainstream vehicles, a Turkish factory for compact cars, and even a Wuhan plant in China to produce the Kadjar tailored to local demand. I think this is quite common in the auto industry—globalization helps brands localize their cars, reducing transport costs. A friend of mine in France drives a Renault EV and praises the refined craftsmanship of French-made models, while the China-produced Renault I test-drove felt more budget-friendly. Overall, Renault's strategy is to manufacture cars close to where they're sold, which benefits consumers with more choices and lower costs. But buyers should always check the origin label on the vehicle ID plate, as this might affect after-sales service. Renault also has plants in India and Brazil, and with support from alliance partner Nissan, its production network is highly flexible.
