The Paris Motor Show: a showcase for Renault Group’s strategy

Just months after the presentation of futuREady, Renault Group’s strategic plan, the 2026 Paris Motor Show offers an opportunity to see how this roadmap is already taking shape in the products and technologies of Renault, Dacia and Alpine. Bringing the three brands together under one roof also highlights their complementary roles in Renault Group’s product offensive.

The automotive industry is undergoing profound change, driven by electrification, artificial intelligence, new competitors and growing pressure on European customers’ purchasing power. Against this challenging backdrop, Renault Group is implementing its strategy around clear priorities: enhancing the appeal of its products, continuing to drive electrification, developing strategic technologies, particularly in electric mobility and software, and continually raising the bar for quality and customer experience.

Renault, Dacia, Alpine: three brands, one shared direction

Renault: reinventing “Voitures à vivre”

Renault is continuing its product offensive with a renewed electric and hybrid line-up. At the heart of the brand’s thinking lies a key question: what does a “voiture à vivre” (a car for living) look like in 2026 and beyond?

E-Space Concept offers an initial answer. A contemporary heir to the original Espace, launched in 1984, it reinterprets its spirit for the electric age. Fully electric, modular and designed around its occupants, the concept explores a new vision of travel and family mobility.

Alongside it, Renault 8 Gordini Concept, Renault 5 Turbo 3E, New Mégane E-Tech electric and Trafic Van E-Tech electric all build on this momentum. Technology takes centre stage, from LFP (lithium iron phosphate) batteries to Gemini, Google’s AI-powered assistant, and new software architectures.

“” Voitures à vivre” are cars that evolve with the people who live with it. As their needs change, as their lives change, as technology moves forward, their Renault keeps progressing with them.”

Dacia: accelerating while staying true to what matters

Dacia is accelerating its electrification and expansion into the C-segment while staying true to its promise: offering essential, affordable vehicles tailored to customers’ real needs.

New Spring, completely redesigned and now manufactured in Europe, marks a new chapter in the brand’s electric vehicle offensive. Following in Bigster’s footsteps, Striker continues Dacia’s expansion into the C-segment, a strategic market for its growth. With these two new models, Dacia is pursuing two complementary goals: broadening its electric vehicle line-up and strengthening its presence in a key segment of the European market.

“Seven months after the launch of futuREady, our strategy is already delivering concrete results. With two world premieres, Striker and the new Spring, we are proving that Dacia is not just setting ambitions: we are turning them into reality.”

Alpine: heritage and technology shaping the performance of tomorrow

Alpine is already preparing its next generation of vehicles. A110 Sculpture offers a glimpse of the design of the third-generation A110, which will be built on the new Alpine Performance Platform. Based on the same platform, the A310 VISION concept car reimagines another icon in the brand’s history, the A310 launched in 1971, through a contemporary lens.

Both concepts reflect the same ambition: to broaden Alpine’s horizons while preserving what makes the brand unique, with performance, lightness, design and innovation at its core.

“A310 VISION is a concept car showcasing the potential of our platform APP. The platform is extremely modular and is being developed to receive different bodystyles and powertrains. This concept shows also our designers and engineers are working closely together, allowing the maximum expression of their creativity. »

Three complementary brands, one shared direction

Renault, Dacia and Alpine cater to different customers with different expectations. Renault is reinventing its “voitures à vivre” around electrification, technology and new ways of using cars. Dacia is pursuing growth by combining affordability, electrification and expansion into the C-segment. Alpine is broadening its horizons while preparing a new generation of sports cars.

This complementarity is one of Renault Group’s key strengths. It enables the Group to drive forward its product offensive, electrification and the development of technologies that will transform the automotive experience, all at the same time.

The 2026 Paris Motor Show offers a tangible illustration of this approach. Behind the diversity of the vehicles and concepts presented by the three brands lies a common vision: the futuREady strategic plan, with desirable products, technologies designed around customers’ needs and strong brands each moving forward in their own distinctive way.

This is how Renault Group continues on its journey towards the ambition set out in its plan: to become the European automotive reference with global reach.
