Groupe Renault named 'Manufacturer of the Year' at TopGear.com Awards
Award recognises the achievements of Renault, Dacia and Alpine in 2019
Special mention for Mégane R.S. Trophy-R and New ZOE, which has been voted respectively 'Performance Car' and 'City Car' of the year
Groupe Renault has been named Manufacturer of the Year at TopGear.com annual awards ceremony. The accolade recognises the achievements of Renault, Dacia and Alpine over the past 12 months. At the same event the Mégane R.S. Trophy-R collected the Performance Car of the Year award, while New ZOE was handed City Car of the Year.
TopGear.com reflected on what made Groupe Renault this year's winner:
It's the variety that's key to Renault's ascension to Top Gear award-winning excellence. Its mainstream cars are fine, but give it a brief to nail, a set of very specific parameters to fulfil, and it chases perfection quite unlike any other car manufacturer.
Commenting on the coveted award, Vincent Tourette, Managing Director Groupe Renault UK:
We are delighted to receive this award from TopGear.com. 2019 has been a fantastic year for Groupe Renault, with the launch of the All-New Renault Captur, New Renault ZOE and the All-New Renault Clio, the latter continuing a 30-year success story for the brand. Dacia continues to go from strength-to-strength and was one of the few manufacturers to post increased sales figures this year. Meanwhile the rebirth of Alpine has gained further momentum with the exciting introduction of the new A110S. But we don't stop here, 2020 is looking even more exciting!
In 2019 Groupe Renault has launched seven new models in Europe, with All-New Clio, All-New Captur, New ZOE and New Koleos, plus New Trafic and New Master commercial vehicles. Alpine has added the A110S to its line-up.
